I follow The Supreme Court every day as a lawyer. But some rulings we ignore like the ones our bodies make.

STDs don’t wait. I used testyourself.now, dropped my number, got help fast. It’s confidential by law. You’re worth the call.

District Court: 50 page, deeply researched, scathing judgement against Trump admin.
Appeals Court: 20 page decision to uphold citing mountains of precedent.
Supreme Court: How about NOPE! [eye poke]

MSM: A judiciary at war with itself.

COVID doesn’t just come and go.

It raises your risk for heart attacks, diabetes, cognitive decline, and even cancer—and the effects add up with each reinfection.

If you care about your long-term health, protecting yourself from COVID is non-negotiable.

Graphic with a red header bar featuring whn.global and colorful dots. The text reads:
"Avoiding COVID-19 infection may be one of the most important things you can do to protect your long-term health. Here’s why."

Continues from the previous slide, still with a red header and white background. Text reads:
"While a COVID infection may appear 'mild' in the beginning, its long-term consequences can be severe – paralleling other initially mild infections with severe consequences down the road like HIV-AIDS and hepatitis C.

COVID is not a simple airway infection like a cold or the flu, but a blood vessel infection that weakens the immune system, making you more susceptible to other illnesses.

These risks aren’t theoretical—they’re showing up in the data of large-scale studies."**

Still branded whn.global with red header. The section title reads:
"So, what can you do?"

Bullet list:

Wear a fitted respirator mask (N95)

Improve indoor air quality with ventilation and HEPA filters

Get vaccinated and stay up-to-date with boosters

Test frequently and regularly, before and after gatherings or potential exposure

Stay home if you’re feeling sick or testing positive—and encourage others to do the same.

Final panel with red header and white background. Text reads:
"If you care about your long-term health, you should care about avoiding COVID infection.
COVID-19 is not 'just a cold' or 'mild.'
Protecting yourself from COVID is about understanding the immediate and long-term damage it can do and taking your health seriously."

At the bottom, inside a red-outlined rounded rectangle:
"Check the caption for links to resources on mask fit, free masks, and clean air."
