Love this graphic from @nousaerons.bsky.social. This is why I mask in public. Breathing dirty air is no different from drinking dirty toilet water.
There's no shortages of airborne transmissible diseases. Even the ones we have vaccines for can cause breakthrough infxns (e.g. TB, Covid, Measles)

In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.
In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

Get vaccinated. But also know that, while helping prevent serious illness in the initial acute phase, in some cases COVID vaccines may reduce the risk of infection only by roughly 30% for 2-4 months. And they don’t prevent long term issues. So that’s where the need for masking comes in
Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.
But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.
They are still worth getting.
Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

Yep, this!
High-quality masking slows transmission because the virus has fewer hosts to jump to for viral replication. It’s basic science, but people forget how effective it still is.

As I've said before, the distinction drawn between acute infectious diseases and chronic diseases is, in many cases, artificial. This is the huge flaw in MAHA: infections can and often do cause chronic disease; vaccines can thus prevent some chronic diseases.

we could easily prevent the spread of airborne diseases so that we didn't have things like 'summer flu' or 'flu is 3x as bad this year'. covid lockdowns happened bc better more tolerable mitigations weren't in place sooner. it's flu/cov season in NA, wear a mask to cut off a transmission chain now

The CDC has been completely untrustworthy & unreliable since at least when it prioritized politics & the economy over the people’s health by failing to properly inform the public that COVID is airborne & that even mild infections can lead to immune system harm & long term organ damage.
ICYMI: Yesterday, the CDC updated its vaccine safety page to say that vaccines might cause autism (they don’t) and that the science isn’t settled (it is).
For substantiation, the page links out to several studies by anti-vax allies of HHS Robert Kennedy Jr.
