I'm from Sydney. I'm immunocompromised.
I'm not going to remain on a platform which is 99% US-centric. And I don't want to hear about American domestic politics (e.g. ICE and immigration).

Covid is airborne!
Wear a respirator ffp2/3
Open windows
Clean the Air- build a Corsi-Rosenthal Box or use a Hepa Air Purifier.

It’s easy, it will help prevent infections.
Don't breathe it in

AOC is such a sell-out and a grifter.

@chrischirp.bsky.social is a fraud and a sell-out. She goes around maskless and has publicly admitted this.

Yes and there is alot of evidence to suggest that COVID is a threat that has emerged out of Climate Change but of course these studies have been downplayed. I agree, we seem to be on a path of self destruction currently.

"Real reason you're so much sicker than before: No, you're not going mad, your immune system's struggling to cope with everyday bugs."

"When a peer-reviewed article in the BMJ suggested last summer that Covid may have been quietly weakening our immune systems, it passed largely unnoticed."

We know that covid can damage the brain. We don’t know how this will impact society. Governments need to change their pro infection approach to one of actively encouraging vaccines, ffp2 & rolling clean air. Instead of this we are allowing science fact to be obliterated by antiscience.

Belinda Bencic is back to world #10.

14 months ago when she came back from having her daughter, Bella, she didn’t have a ranking.

She’s the first mom to be ranked inside the world’s top 10 since Serena Williams in 2021.

What an achievement.

It’s very interesting to read about the ‘Pro Social Hypothesis’ in relation to SARSCoV2. #COVID

The core idea is an evolutionary one: a virus's primary goal is to spread. To achieve this, it might have evolved mechanisms to manipulate the host's behavior to increase social interactions…

What we are seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg. The focus on blaming the vaccines instead of the virus will only continue to make things worse. Condemning a whole generation that has not even born yet.

Amplifying because it's still true.

#COVIDIsNotOver
"No one here has symptoms” isn't a reliable way to rule out COVID when around 40% of infections are asymptomatic.

Please don't say this to dismiss others’ precautions
