As someone with ME/CFS my entire life is "rational assessment of the threat environment," because I walk a daily tightrope of illness management.
I don't have the luxury of ignoring the science, which overwhelmingly proves the threat of covid is still very real.
That's not fear, it's fact.

Carving out the people who are taking seriously the measurable and well-documented half-decade-old ongoing threat to your health as βCovid forever dead endersβ is just your own way of being βantivaxβ.
Same assed mindset because you donβt wanna, donβt care, and *need* to poop in the public well.π€πͺ

People are VERY huffy and stompy about this post but just as an inside opinion from someone in LC community, Itβs hard to believe there is solidarity with the disabled and high risk people who need to avoid covid when our one primary ask is met with accusations that, hey, maybe weβre just CRAZY?

Dear liberals,
If you identify as a leftist who believes in intersectional justice & fighting fascism, please wear a mask in public. Itβs one small act of solidarity with the millions living with long Covid - and a reminder that caring for others includes protecting their health

All I want in life is to persuade everyone, when encountering politics & culture, to ask, "why are we talking about this?" I mean that very literally: anything you encounter on your screens reflects a choice. Someone covered that, talked about that, rather than the many other things out there. Why?

OK so I read through this study, and here are my conclusions:
- What a cool tech to examine epigenetic factors so closely!
- This is a small study
- This only differentiates severe-presenting patients from healthy controls; hasn't been used to diagnose ME/CFS *versus* other inflammatory illness. π§ͺ

Itβs never too late to start masking again.
It can be daunting to mask back up when no one else is bothering, but your health is worth it.
Every Covid infection is a dice roll with disability, and a good respirator like an N95 stops chains of transmission.
Youβll also get less colds & flus!
