preparing to go to space
wear N95 masks
to protect themselves,
which just goes to show
that protecting yourself

consider that they are preparing you for the next pandemic by removing any pretense of protection—they never wanted it for covid, which is why sars2 remains in harmful circulation, & they don’t want it for the next novel pathogen.
this is the preparation. prepare to suffer.
better to mask up now.

After more than 1.2 Americans lost their lives to Covid, NIH director Jay Bhattacharya orders the agency to deprioritize pandemic preparedness & biodefense.
Make it make sense.

When you hear them ask
(and you will hear them ask)
why astronauts
and Olympic athletes
are still wearing masks
in 2026,
kindly but firmly reply
that the real question is
if astronauts
and Olympic athletes
are still wearing masks
in 2026
then why aren’t the rest of us.

Are people sicker now than in 2019?
Civil servants in England are.
Sickness absence rates have *risen by between 12% to 23% across the age groups*.
Are things getting worse?
It certainly looks like it.
This is exactly what we predicted repeat covid infection would do.

Bodily fluids will contain many microbes that are nonharmful or even beneficial. In this study, they collected exhaled aerosol and measured something they call the airborne respiratory microflora (ARM). This is essentially the mixture of non-pathogenic microbes in exhaled aerosol.

Mask harassment - online or irl - is done by uninformed, resentful and insecure people. Ignore them.

An airborne virus is a virus that can infect other people through unseen particles in the air, sometimes for hours after the sick person has left the area! Masks and clean, ventilated air can reduce the risk of getting sick from airborne viruses or infecting others.

Genau das ist das Problem, und es wird zu wenig erkannt: den Superreichen wird klar, dass die Grenzen eines organischen Wachstums erreicht sind, sie sehen es in der Bilanz. Mehr Reichtum geht nur noch durch Ausplünderung der Staaten. Und das wird gemacht. Nicht immer explizit, aber es geschieht.
