Thank you for sharing this. I haven’t been sick since late 2019 because of masks, that is an N95 mask, properly worn and handwashing.
A well fitted respirator like an N95 protects against more than just Covid.
It safeguards against pollution, pollen, wildfire smoke and many other viruses.
Wearing one is a great way to keep yourself and those around you healthy.
If you can’t afford one (or if you want to donate to help others)

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Yesterday, several media outlets claimed or strongly implied that "transgender symbols" were found at the scene of the gun used by Charlie Kirk's shooter. This turned out to be false.

Worried about kids' "mitochondrial challenges" but doesn't include Long Covid or ME/CFS (which have documented mitochondrial dysfunction) on the list of things that make you high-risk for Covid.
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them?
This is an insane person.

Millions of kids are living with Long COVID—but you’d never know it from this narrative. In 2023 alone, over 1,500 children died of COVID. Stop rewriting history to erase the ongoing harm. The real failure was pretending kids were safe.

Covid is a mass disabling event, yet people talk about it in terms of death rate only.
The millions of people who are living with severe chronic illness due to Long Covid get completely ignored. Forgotten. Disappeared.
People fear disability, so they ignore it. We need to face it to prevent it
