One guy is masking on planes and the other guy is giving him shit for it.

Should you wish to offer your support to the guy who isnโ€™t brain dead, please tell him to keep masking. N95.

Maybe he read a little science & learned about Covid sparking neurodegenerative disease or awakening cancer cells.

We havenโ€™t but prior generations have. Thatโ€™s what I was referring toโ€ฆThe 1918 pandemic affected all combatant nations in WWI & contributed to the warโ€™s end; and it helped give rise to WWII 20 yrs later. Sadly, SARS2 hasnโ€™t evolved to truly be โ€œmildโ€ like the distal relatives of Spanish Flu.

Fascism rises after pandemics. COVIDโ€™s still hereโ€”eroding executive function, stoking anger, short tempers, and confusion. Impaired brains donโ€™t spot propaganda. They repost it.

Funny how anger, impulsivity, and fascism spike after pandemics. Almost like executive function matters. Almost like a neurotropic virus that never went away is still wrecking peopleโ€™s brains.

Musicians get shelved. Iโ€™ve heard of that.

But a medical textbook?

Covid is all over the country right now.

I know someone confirmed + in Washington, California, Minnesota and New York.

Lots of people showing visible symptoms in Illinois.

All this anecdata is backed by wastewater data.

Donโ€™t risk your health and livelihood just to breathe naked.

Mask up.

Some ideas arrive like lightning. Iโ€™ve had a few I knew were too far ahead. Sat on them. Guarded them.
Now itโ€™s time.

The other option is masking.

I hope everyone enjoys Wave 11 of Covid. Anyone who says, โ€œduring the pandemicโ€ should be interrupted immediately mid-sentence wherever they are as itโ€™s ๐Ÿ’ฏ disinformation.

- Widespread geo spread
- Sustained p2p transmission
- Large-scale impact

There is an intermediary solution and itโ€™s called masking. If you canโ€™t homeschool, and your community sucks and wonโ€™t clean the air, thatโ€™s the answer.

26.07.2025 19:29 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 5    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yes, thatโ€™s the answer.

26.07.2025 19:27 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 4    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Cleaning the air IS a system solution. ASHRAE compliance. HVAC ventilation minimums & local purification in every classroom.

Until then, yeah I think parents and schools should be pressured to protect their kids.

26.07.2025 19:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

If youโ€™re not going to clean the air to prevent kids from becoming diseased (which is only going to increase with measles on its comeback tour because Lucifer and his followers have annihilated public health & mandatory vaccine schedules), then โ€ฆwear a mask.

Someone recently said to me, โ€œYou canโ€™t say youโ€™re killing kids!โ€

Ok, fine. How about, โ€œYouโ€™re diseasing them? Brain, heart, liver, kidney. Youโ€™re diseasing them with an airborne pathogen that is almost entirely preventable.โ€

26.07.2025 19:16 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 124    ๐Ÿ” 22    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 3    ๐Ÿ“Œ 3

Itโ€™d be easier if we could just clean the freakin air.

In the meantime, Iโ€™d choose home-schooling a little one over a life of preventable disease and disability.

Every infection increases risk of brain damage.

I know many who would deny they killed their house pets when they were sick, yet they died weeks after their family members tested positive. It most certainly can go the other way, and thereโ€™s data to support the link.

At what point do parents realize sending their kids to school for an annual brain infection isnโ€™t facilitating developmental growth, learning, quality of life, and longevity?

Yaโ€™ll feel good about that?

At what point do people realize โ€œlearning to live with COVID,โ€ meant you have to actually check in on the data, read it, reflect, and realize letโ€™r rip was a failed fucking policy?

26.07.2025 18:25 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 146    ๐Ÿ” 38    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 3    ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

At what point do psychologists and psychiatrists acknowledge what weโ€™ve learned about neuroinflammation since the COVID-19 pandemic began?

At what point do humans accept that viral persistence has been found in hamsters, macaquesโ€ฆ and yes, in people, too?

Except that cleaning the air isnโ€™t putting anything in their bodyโ€ฆ itโ€™s taking pathogens out so they donโ€™t go in their bodies.

You donโ€™t have to get sick to be tough.
You donโ€™t have to sacrifice your brain to be elite.

Clean air = performance enhancement.
Masking = mental conditioning.
Avoiding reinfection = recovery.
