Covid is arguably the biggest cover-up of the 21st century—and it’s being perpetrated right in front of everyone’s eyes. There are now thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies warning of its dangers, and articles on it are a simple Google search away.

My mom told her physical therapist she wears a mask because her husband and daughter are immunocompromised. The PT said she is too but isn't worried bc she knows if she dies she is going to heaven. Then her co-worker yelled, “Shut up Debbie you wear a seatbelt and take blood pressure meds” 👀

Australia's Heart Foundation just launched an info campaign on the harms of COVID to cardiovascular health - good to see!
But current vaccines only reduce risk of heart damage, they do not eliminate it. We need masking, clean indoor air, better prevention & next gen vaccines

Heard the 80s Paul McCartney song Wonderful Christmastime on the radio yesterday and was reminded how young Lennon was when he died, and how sad it is that he missed the entirety of the Rush Hour film franchise.

anyone who finds rfk jr. sexually appealing should be added to a publicly accessible registry
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.

The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

As she recounted
a disappointing dinner party
my work friend asked
if I knew the feeling
of being with people
(of being with good people)
but still just feeling
profoundly alone,
and as I adjusted my mask
I looked
at my friend’s bare face
and simply said:
I know the feeling.

The long and winding road: Stuart Maconie on why our opinions about the Beatles keep changing
Fans and historians have spent 60 years debating what the band means – and which member is greatest. Will the returning Anthology project and Sam Mendes’s planned biopics create new arguments?

Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

New studies come out all the time. I understand it’s hard to face but everyone should know the truth.
“Everyone [who’s] had COVID-19 tends to have some lasting reduction in brain blood flow (CBF), mainly in frontotemporal areas – even if they feel 100% recovered [and the infection was mild].”

Biden put a hedge fund manager in charge of Covid with a strategy of allowing Covid to spread out of control to please short term business interests. It was not a good long term plan as Long Covid is costing the global economy 1 trillion dollars a year.
