Most people are heedlessly destroying themselves with repeated infections of Covid-19. Guided by denial and delusion, they are throwing their lives away.

The mass firings at the CDC tonight drive home the fact that no one is coming to save us

But we can save each other

Wear a mask. Ideally a respirator like an N95

Even if you’re vaccinated. Even if you’re “not worried”

It protects you but it also protects everyone else

Bonus? Less colds & flus!

Andrea Is Sick of Long Covid @andreastudiescovid.bsky.social · 22h

Not something you want to saddle your kids with. It's been two years since it was advised that men not procreate for six months post-infection. Which is *another* reason that people should be testing for COVID if they are sick in any way. People should be taking every precaution not to get COVID.

I try to normalize masking: first, because we’re still in a pandemic, and second, because the more people mask, the more chances #immunocompromised folks have to participate safely in community events.”—Behind the powecom KN95 is Greg Pak (@gregpaknet) a writer and filmmaker best known for comic books like Planet Hulk, Magneto Testament, Darth Vadar, Mech Cadet Yu, and Ronin Island. He was interviewed by Julie Lam from #MaskTogetherAmerica at #NYCC25 @newyorkcomiccon"

These guys were content creators with regards to Covid.

They created this fantasy pandemic where they were super heroes stronger than the virus.

Everything *would have* been just fine.

But when given a chance to lead and prove themselves, it’s chaos every day at every level.

Paternal SARS-CoV-2 infection impacts sperm small noncoding RNAs and increases anxiety in offspring in a sex-dependent manner - Nature Communications

Whether paternal pre-conceptual SARS-CoV-2 infection impacts sperm RNA content, or effects offspring phenotypes, has not been previously investigated. Here authors report changes in sperm noncoding RNAs in SARS-CoV-2 infected sires and increased anxiety-like behaviors in offspring.

Love the respirator image (not a surgical mask).
Respirators ARE the best defence against airborne pathogens spread because they seal well around the face (only allowing filtered air in).
Surgical masks (baggy blues) are specifically designed to guard against droplet spray (not airborne spread).

Like, looking at two five year olds and saying,"aww look at them play- they could get married! They're not related!"

You hear that shit your entire childhood AND ALSO you're not allowed to say you are not related to your adoptive "relatives".

Talking about the stat where you're 8x more likely to be abused as a child in a home with one unrelated adult, and how for foster youth/adoptees, there's often no related adult in the home. For adoptees, there are no welfare check ins.

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!
