COVID Isn’t Going Anywhere. Masking Up Could Save My Life. "When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving."

Respect Alice Wong’s call here:
“When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don’t care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.”

Recovery might not be possible

There are survivors from the original SARS outbreak that still haven’t regained their baseline

Apathy disables/kills the elderly,med fragile & children who have no protection from society-especially HCWs refusing to😷

The ongoing trauma is surreal & heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹

Screen cap of Jen’s tweet from March 2024 that says “we’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, but everyone is only abled until they’re not. So you should respect disabled people because empathy, but also because you will eventually become disabled too”.

Saying it again.

An enduring idiocy baked into anti-vax propaganda is that most infectious disease is the acute phase, you get over it and then all good. That’s very often not how it works! Long COVID for ex isn’t an outlier. Many pathogens cause organ damage or mess w DNA or linger in certain types of cells.

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?
Prof David Putrino explains why this is happening in your immune system.

I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them.

I am busy af with my own job, I don’t need to do eight zillion more.

Adrenal fatigue: A fake disease (updated) “Adrenal fatigue” is not a real medical condition, but some claim it is real and that medicine is ignoring it. What does the science say?

“Adrenal fatigue” was invented by the wellness industry.

It’s a fake diagnosis.

It’s pseudoscience.

If you’ve been given a diagnosis of “adrenal fatigue,” your symptoms are real, but that diagnosis is not.

People would go wild if MS or lupus were airborne, but Covid is airborne, and it can reactivate EBV, which is linked to both. It’s biologically plausible that we’re seeing more MS- and lupus-related illness after widespread airborne viruses. So mask up 😷

'Long flu’ has emerged as a consequence similar to long COVID | WashU Medicine Study shows patients hospitalized for flu or COVID-19 face increased risk of long-term health problems, death

Way more people are willing to see Covid like the flu, like it’s no big deal, than those that see flu like Covid, a way bigger deal than we thought it was.

I mask bc I know Covid causes vascular, respiratory and immune system damage + much more. Now I also mask bc flu might be doing the same 😷

WHN graphic on a light background with whn.global logo top left and teal line: “This is the first of a series of posts on Long COVID by David Brasure.” Large headline: “People feel ‘fine’ … until they’re not. Every infection leaves a physiological footprint.” Body text: “Research continues to show that COVID can cause inflammation, microclotting, and tissue injury across multiple organs — even after ‘mild’ or asymptomatic cases. Like smoking in the mid-century, the harm isn’t always immediate. People lived their lives normally until, suddenly, they couldn’t. Your body is keeping score.” Footer line with WHN mission: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.”

We’re five years into the pandemic, and the science is telling a very different story than “just a cold.” COVID affects blood vessels, organs, metabolism, and cognition — and the impacts compound with each infection.

40 years later… And the thing is, we already have mountains of data NOW that show what COVID does to brains. Why can’t we acknowledge it? Why can’t we face it? Why can’t we say it?

A tweet from Roy Doorenspleet (@DoorenspleetR) reads: “Someone told me if 400,000 papers documenting the harms of COVID won’t convince anyone, then 500,000 won’t either. This is a sad situation.” He links to the LitCovid database and notes there are currently 472,000 publications. A LitCovid preview card with an illustrated virus icon appears below. The tweet timestamp shows November 13, 2025, with 17.9K views.

Almost 500k studies showing COVID causes lasting damage… if that doesn’t convince anyone, nothing will.

We are moving backwards, thanks to obscenely rich, bored people who like inflicting pain on others. I had no idea there were so damn many of them.

Vintage Data, Modern Misinformation: The FDA’s use of outdated studies and Makary’s inaccurate all-cause mortality claim, explained

Did you know Makary is using 45 year old, 34 year old, and 29 year old observational studies to spread disinformation about MHT? Ignoring newer, far better quality data is misogyny open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

It’s impossible to convey the crippling fatigue of chronic illness.

Naps don’t help.

A full nights sleep doesn’t exist. You’re plagued by pain and other symptoms that mean you can’t remember what it felt like to sleep through the night.

Wired & tired is your new normal.

Let the record show it’s possible to be COOL AF, acknowledge covid, and perform a kick-ass show simultaneously!!!

It’s not kindness.

It’s laziness, corporate greed, cruelty…

If we were kind, we would have put in the effort to control disease so that it was actually genuinely safer for toddlers and the elderly to socialise… ->

When the government decided to let COVID-19 loose, they decided at that exact same time to do two things.

Make life difficult and lonely for elderly and disabled people.

Kill elderly and disabled people by playing dress up and pretend it’s 2019, because we want to be “kind”.

As I read this, I'm thinking about the man I interviewed who had to be hospitalized from the Covid he caught at the poultry processing plant and he got fired for it and he still has long Covid

Epstein-Barr virus appears to be trigger of lupus disease, say scientists Connection of near-ubiquitous EBV to autoimmune disease affecting about 1 in 1,000 people may spur hunt for vaccine

Wow, what a finding. Epstein-Barr virus appears to be trigger of lupus disease.

"We think it applies to 100% of lupus cases," said Prof William Robinson, a professor of immunology and rheumatology at Stanford University.

COVID is not a seasonal virus. It circulates all-year-round.

They rounded a bunch of random Venezuelans with tats and pretended they were in tren de aragua, then started blowing up random Venezuelan boats they claim “carried drugs,” in order to slowly groom their base into supporting a full ground war on Venezuela that was always about oil

"Pluribus" captures the isolation of COVID-awareness in a COVID denialist world For years I've described having Long COVID as living in a horror movie. Now that horror movie (well, prestige Apple TV show) is here.

“It’s not just the illness. It’s the social response to COVID that has grown up around us, isolates & alienates us, creating a sense of pressure, anxiety & tension. People don’t believe in our illness, & they work to ensure reinfection risk is high as it can be.”

It’s time to do individual responsibility style public health for meat testing.

Hepa air filtration, special UV lighting, even just allowing for open windows, outdoor eating spaces, sick leave policies that encourage people to stay home, free access to PCR quality covid testing, masks on mass transit. I wouldn’t work in an office where my water was full of lead, would you?

Any conversation about return to office vs work from home that does not acknowledge the ongoing pandemic is ignorant, ableist and destined to miss the mark.
Many, including disabled people but not only disabled know they cannot risk getting COVID and offices haven’t taken steps to protect workers.
