COVID-19 Myths and Facts part 2, because unfortunately there are more myths than we can put into one post:
COVID-19 myths vs. facts. myth: I know people who got vaccinated and still got COVID-19. The vaccines don’t work. Fact: Although it’s still possible for vaccinated people to get COVID-19, vaccines significantly reduce your risk of serious illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. Vaccines are critical for protecting your health. COVID-19 myths vs. facts. myth: I don’t need to wear a mask if I’ll only be around a few other people. Fact: It only takes one other person to spread COVID-19! It’s important to mask when you’ll be around other people, even if it’s not a crowded space! COVID-19 myths vs. facts. myth: I don’t need to mask if I stay at least 6 feet from other people while I’m out. Fact: We now know that COVID-19 can spread through the air, even after other people have left the area. This is why it is important to mask and improve indoor ventilation when you can. COVID-19 myths vs. facts. myth: COVID-19 can only spread by people who have symptoms. Fact: COVID-19 can be contagious for days before symptoms begin. Many people who spread COVID-19 don’t know they are infected! This is why it’s important to mask any time you’ll be around others.

Fact: Each new COVID-19 infection increases your risk of serious illness, Long COVID, and permanent health consequences like organ damage.

COVID-19 myths vs. facts. myth: I’ve already gotten multiple doses of the COVID-19 vaccine over the years. I don’t need any more. Fact: Just like it’s important to get an annual flu shot, it’s important to get updated COVID-19 vaccines each year. The flu shot and the COVID-19 vaccine are each updated annually to protect against current strains of the virus.

I would like for wealthy people excited for tax cuts to sign a piece of paper acknowledging that every dollar they get in tax breaks is going to be paid for by someone else…either someone not getting healthcare or SNAP or some future person paying higher taxes to pay the interest on our new debt.

Full story below.

A nation’s collapse into authoritarianism is rarely sudden. It is often a cumulative series of incidents that go unchallenged. And it almost always involves the quelling of dissent.

In the US, these incidents are now being broadcast daily, right in front of our eyes.
