– Help! – But have you tried just ignoring the water? #longcovid #postcovid #ableism #satire

It feels like an insurmountable obstacle. But history suggests otherwise. People once believed HIV/AIDS could be acquired through casual contact. Then they learned it wasn’t limited to one group. Then they learned it wasn’t spread by touch. Then they learned the importance of blood, sexual fluids, and other transmission routes. Public understanding changed because the model changed. With COVID, many people are still operating with the wrong model. First, they have to understand that it travels through the air and can accumulate indoors. Then they have to understand that infection isn’t binary—survive or die—but can involve long-term health consequences. Then they have to understand that those consequences can affect anyone. Once the model changes, the conclusions become much harder to avoid.

Dentist: "Do you have any health conditions?" Me: "Yes, I have long COVID." Dentist: "What's that?" 😳

@hannahspierMD "Privilege is when you think something is not a problem because you aren't affected personally"

Pew pew. Still masking, even outside because I'm around a crew, going in and out the house a lot. Also because I know the science better than all you capitalist bootlickers who minimize Covid. Enjoy dying young

@AlanLevinovitz @zeynep @MeganTStevenson Please go around to the hundreds of qualified doctors and scientists who have produced mountains of peer reviewed research on Long COVID and tell them that they are all frauds. Go on now, put your money where your mouth is. panaccindex.info/p/what-do-we-k…

This guy is so breathtakingly stupid that I wonder if his employement is some time of make a wish campaign... Long COVID is any sequela caused by a COVID infection. It's just sequelae, and because SARS-CoV-2 forms syncytia at ACE2, it can present as any type of disease. It's not magic; we have understood it the entire time. I really don't get how these people are so stupid that they don't comprehend that all damage to the body appears as sequelae. SARS-CoV-2 damages the body, and while viruses are unique, the body they damage is not... so it should be easy to see how it looks like other things, because it starts damaging cells at such a common entry point. And if you can't understand that, then don't write a motherf--king article about it.

@zeynep @MeganTStevenson Zeynep — this is not like TB (or cancer, or HIV, or any of the other analogized conditions), because there is no "long Covid" in the first place. There's an extremely vague definition that could apply to a range of conditions, from post-ICU syndrome to basically every PAIS that's

Long Covid Reframed As Fight-Or-Flight Loop By People In Ignore-And-Deny Loop

We Owe A Debt Of Thanks To All The Doctors Who Stand Up Against Patient Safety, Tell Cancer Patients It’s Fine To Catch Covid, Refuse To Give Out Sick Notes, And Call That Long Covid Crowd Fakers.

@DrHawken @Mistsandgrass Vaccination didn't eliminate the increased danger posed by a 2nd infection compared to a 1st infection. The pattern was the same: Reinfection resulted in a higher risk of PASC for all children and adolescents Zero mitigation in schools #CleanAir4Kids thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

Have we considered not repeatedly infecting them tho

Don’t let the government hoodwink you. They absolutely owe you functioning systems, clean water, healthcare, security, housing, job opportunities, and basic human dignity. It is within their constitutional mandate; that is literally their core purpose and duty.

Everything gets immeasurably worse. You can’t just pretend away a pandemic, not without consequence. Not without squandering your integrity. Not without denial corrupting your thinking. Not without harming people. Not without fucking yourself up. Argue with reality, not me.

It's amazing that lockdowns caused all the same symptoms as the infectious disease they were put in place to prevent.

World so fucked even I FULLY agree with what the Pope said here in his first encyclical

They’re asking for VOLUNTEERS to screen for Ebola at airports. This is what happens when you let someone like RFK Jr gut the CDC. They should have a dedicated team trained to handle deadly pandemics. Hazard pay should be automatic. This is alarming and enraging.

Reminder that it is ILLEGAL for the government to knowingly allow a public health threat to spread without any effort to contain it.

Actually, it is illegal for the CDC to tell you to “return to normal activities” while infected with a deadly communicable disease. Very illegal.

Please put aerosol scientists and engineers back in charge of public health. We built infectious disease policy around outdated droplet assumptions while ignoring aerosol physics, ventilation, and indoor air quality. If your infectious disease training still treats airborne transmission like a rare exception instead of a central mechanism, your curriculum is obsolete. Public health accreditation bodies should immediately reevaluate training standards for airborne disease prevention, ventilation, filtration, respirators, and aerosol science. Droplet dogma has already cost enough lives.

@alfwarrior Ebola is typically a micron in length, but very narrow so it will probably fold somewhat. An aerosol with an initial diameter of over 10 microns will remain suspended in the air for prolonged periods Fyi: I’m an aerosol scientist that studies airborne viruses and exhaled aerosol

I try to stay as professional as possible on here, but the recent spate of tweets I've seen bemoaning that 'things just haven't been the same since 2020' or similar and then utterly ignoring the ongoing impact of SARS-CoV-2 infuriates me. Denial and ignorance in equal measure.
