The ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 is filled with denial and delusion. Throughout the human community, there is an unreasoning refusal to accept the harsh, heinous truth of what is happening and why it is happening. Unless that truth is fully acknowledged, our situation can only get worse.

Given all the science, I fear the second paragraph is also true for COVID & the minimizing propaganda that tells everyone it’s mild or like a cold. The vaccine, while essential, has never been enough to fully protect your long term health. You also need to wear a well-fitting mask when sharing air.
One of the most disturbing things about the U.S. government getting themselves into the anti-vaccine game is that it is a time-release poison pill.
It will take a few years before the worst of the harm is visible to enough people that they will truly understand what has been done to them.

So, to all the "RFK's got some good ideas" folks (Rachael Bedard, Leana Wen) and Jay Bhattacharya is "an excellent choice for NIH" (Steven Macedo, Frances Lee) and Vinay Prasad "will bring a breath of fresh air to FDA" (Adam Cifu, John Mandrola) groupies--you own this now too.
I think the *speed* at which RFK Jr and his Great Barrington Declaration/anti-vaxx/Brownstone wrecking crew have been dismantling the US public health system has been really astonishing
Well, Senators Bill Cassidy and Thom Tillis, you wanted RFK Jr. to “go wild” at HHS.
Congratulations. You’ve achieved your goal. He is well on his way to completely destroying the US vaccine program.

Oh look exactly in line with what Covid activists and scientists have been saying since the beginning and by the way, that number is “so far.”

Covid-19 is a destroyer.
Since 2020, Covid-19 has destroyed many millions of human lives, and is destroying lives at this moment.
Unless strong measures of public safety are enforced, Covid-19 will continue to destroy lives.
Action to stop Covid-19 needs to be taken now, without delay.

Good to know we're all on the same page.
Not great to know we're all in the same boat.
Public Health (EVERYWHERE) didn't just fail us—they are actively failing us, in real-time. As if Long COVID "just happens". As if it didn't still ruin lives.
This is unsustainable. So how do we correct it?

The flip-side: My son (m16) just left for a friend's (f17) house party & will be the only N95 there
No ventilation or testing
Because nobody sees the risk
He'll have to step out early
Will say it's to keep me safe
How is that fair?
This wouldn't be so hard if public health did it's FUCKING JOB

If you live with someone who has long Covid or a post-viral illness & you’re doing a weekly circuit of maskless bars, restaurants & concerts, you're not "living your life." You're sacrificing theirs

And there are other measures that can help make population-scale vaccination campaigns work even better, starting with
1) Clear, consistent & open scientific decision making
2) PPE in hospitals, daycares, long term care homes and schools

microsoft promised to "empower every user" and google to "revolutionise knowledge and technological innovation" but in reality what they have given us is an invasive surveillance dystopian nightmare hard to escape
