Just me… still masking😷

Anyone else feel like the masked black sheep these days?

Source: x.com/tryna_do_rit...
A flock of sheep fills the frame, all tightly packed together. Most of the sheep are white, but one black sheep stands out in the center. The black sheep is wearing a white face mask, making it visually distinct from the rest of the unmasked flock and emphasizing a sense of standing apart or being different within the group.

A key component of analysis is the distillation of complex situations to the fundamental concepts that underpin them. I never, ever thought in 2020 that the simple concept of, 'I don't want to get infected with a novel virus' would be warped from common sense to a rebellious act.

COVID is NOT primarily a respiratory disease.

It is a systemic vascular-immune disease causing endothelial injury, microvascular thrombosis, and immune dysregulation. This is concerning because the injury is cumulative with each infection(endothelium does not easily regenerate).
A screenshot of a post on X (Twitter) by Dr. Michael DACM (@internetuserf12). The post states that COVID is not primarily a respiratory disease, but a systemic vascular–immune disease. It explains that COVID causes endothelial injury, microvascular thrombosis, and immune dysregulation, warning that this damage is cumulative with each infection because the endothelium does not easily regenerate.

"COVID alters brain structure long after infection, new Qld study finds"

"Queensland researchers have discovered coronavirus significantly alters the brain long after recovery, with MRI scans revealing lasting changes even in people without ongoing symptoms."

Screenshot of a Courier Mail health article titled “Covid alters brain structure long after infection, new Qld study finds.” The subheading says Queensland researchers found COVID-19 can significantly alter the brain long after recovery, with MRI scans showing lasting changes even in people without ongoing symptoms. Below the headline is a photo of a desktop computer displaying multiple colorful brain MRI images arranged in rows, with another monitor showing a brain scan beside it. The article is dated December 16, 2025.

COVID vs Flu (New York data)

New York State Health Commissioner reports:

🔹Nearly 3,000 COVID deaths in 2024
🔹Roughly 700 flu deaths (2024)

That’s about 3× more COVID deaths than flu.

Source: x.com/PrognosticCh...
A screenshot of a post on X/Twitter by Prognostic Chats (@PrognosticChats). Their message reads: “Covid is worse than flu. Flu is terrible. So have a think about what that means for Covid, which is typically branded as ‘mild’. It’s never been mild, it’s still not mild.” Below is a quoted post from Jammer (@acrossthemersey), which includes a news headline and an image of red coronavirus particles. The quoted text says: *“New York State Health Commissioner says that in 2024, three times as many New Yorkers died from COVID than the flu, nearly 3,000 to roughly 700. It’s just like the flu, except it’s not like it at all.”* The embedded article headline reads: “NY state had far more COVID deaths last year than flu deaths, health department says” by WRGB Staff, published Dec 4, 2025. A caption under the virus image states that nearly 3,000 New Yorkers died of COVID in 2024 compared to around 700 from the flu. At the bottom of the screenshot, engagement stats show: 78 comments, 324 reposts, 1K likes, and 24K views.

In a rare case of Substack notes usefulness, I just learned that Sarah Kendzior (author of They Knew and a brilliant writer) got bounced from Bluesky. What the hell? new @sarahkendzior.bsky.social
Sarah Kendzior • 4m I've been suspended from BlueSky. I don't know why. I wasn't online much today, and the last things I posted were excerpts from my substack newsletter articles. The suspension followed without explanation. It seems there's a crackdown. If you enjoy my work and want to make sure you can access it, subscribe! It's free - I would never paywall in times of peril — and voluntary paying subscribers keep it going. It would be great to have your support at this time. Thanks!

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

Society only chose option 1 because they were lied to.

“It’s just a cold”
“Kids are fine”
“Herd immunity”
"Only the vulnerable are at risk"

Repeat it enough times and people believe there’s no danger.

Denial is easy. Prevention takes effort.

tern @1goodtern There are two main ways to make people feel safe: 1) lie to them that there is no danger 2) take action to reduce the danger Why, in the name of all that is rational, did society choose option 1. 1:05 AM · Nov 5, 2025 · 18K Views

Nothing about this is normal. We are still in an ongoing pandemic, and the virus continues to circulate, mutate, infect, disable, and kill.

#PandemicIsNotOver #COVIDisNotOver #COVIDisAirborne

Winter Gray @PunkyBrewstuh It's happening. A virus keeps mutating, spreading globally, and causing devastation. People of all ages, babies, children, teens, 20s to 70s and beyond are dying. Pneumonia, sickness, school absences, heart attacks and strokes in your late 20s to 60s, dizziness, POTS, breathing difficulties, children to athletes falling dead on the field, celebrities in the prime of their lives dropping out of engagements, having heart attacks and brain aneurysms, and forgetting their own songs… are all being slowly normalized. We're like frogs in a pot -by the time the rest of the world catches up to the realization that we're dying, it'll be too late to stop it. 11:13 AM · Oct 28, 2025 · 8,587 Views

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Herd immunity by infection wasn’t protection. It drove immune dysfunction and chronic illness. It’s a tragedy that this was allowed to happen — and still is.

SARS2 is a Biohazard @mysteriousrona I'll never forget the fact that children were and still are being purposefully exposed to SARS-CoV-2 as a method of facilitating herd immunity, which has proven to be ineffective. 11:59 AM · Oct 28, 2025 · 1,091 Views

This is how normalisation works — silence and denial. Simply stop acknowledging that COVID exists.

Parents deserve to know when a contagious virus that can cause long-term harm is spreading in classrooms.

COVID Isn’t a Cold. It’s Cigarettes All Over Again.

5 years into this experiment: we let COVID rip and pretended it was fine. Damage piled up—unlike smoking’s slow toll, we’re seeing it in real time. Every infection leaves a mark; even “mild.” The bill comes due. We chose denial

archive.md/Jyi7k
A vintage 1946 Camel cigarette advertisement shows a smiling older white man in a doctor’s coat holding a cigarette. The slogan claims “More Doctors Smoke Camels Than Any Other Cigarette.” Above the ad, bold yellow text reads “COVID Isn’t a Cold. It’s Cigarettes All Over Again,” drawing a parallel between COVID risks and the tobacco industry’s history of downplaying harm.

Having gotten my vax today, let me reiterate that it DOES NOT prevent catching or spreading covid on its own.

The vax is one piece of Swiss cheese.

Risk assessment isn’t a “one and done”.

Mitigation works best in layers.

Vax AND mask AND stay the fuck home when sick.
