The world of 2019, the world as it was before Covid-19 took hold, is gone forever. Wishful thinking and playacting will not bring it back. We are now living in a world of unrestrained disease, a world in which strong, uncompromising measures of caution and safety are urgently necessary.

People make things infinitely more difficult than they need to be. Everything to do with masks is made overly complicated. Just wear a respirator mask in all situations of potential contagion. We all know what those are by now. And if you don't, you are willfully opting to tune that shit out.

Parents who truly care about the well-being of their children will do whatever is necessary to shield them from the life-threatening harm of Covid-19, and will not allow them to suffer repeated infections.

Covid-19 has "responded" to the vaccine by continuing to be out of control everywhere.

Under current conditions of rampant contagion, repeated infections, and increasing harm, the outlook in regard to Covid-19 is harshly foreboding: if strong action to stop the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19 is not taken without delay, the human community will have no long-term future.

Nearly everyone is shunning respirator masks during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19.

Nearly everyone is allowing themselves to be repeatedly infected during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19.

Nearly everyone is suffering irreparable harm during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19.

Not a question of arguing. I merely stated the self-evident truth regarding Covid vaccines. If we agree that respirator masks are absolutely necessary to prevent infection, then we are on the same track.

Why would any rational person refuse to wear a respirator mask during an ongoing pandemic in which Covid-19, an airborne disease that frequently results in serious illness and early mortality, is spreading without control?

Unrestrained travel inevitably results in unrestrained Covid-19.

Constant travel, particularly worldwide air travel, is one of the primary factors driving the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19. As long as such travel continues, there will be no hope of bringing Covid-19 under control.

So-called surges may come and go, but uncontrolled Covid-19 is always spreading everywhere, and always poses an extreme danger to every human being.

Is it a problem
that Covid is back?
Yes, of course, it’s a problem
that Covid is back.
Though unfortunately
the far bigger problem,
is that Covid
never really left.

Life decisions are much easier without covid-induced brain fog.

I prefer to have a clear, polished mind. But that's just me.

4. This utterly mistaken but seemingly widespread belief that Covid-19 has somehow gone away is precisely the inevitable result of declaring the pandemic to be over and tacitly allowing people to take that declaration to mean that SARS-CoV-2 has magically disappeared.

You appear to be forgetting that during his four years as President of the US, Joe Biden deliberately allowed Covid-19 to spread without control and encouraged the public to abandon all safety measures.

Michael Collins Morton @mcollinsmorton.bsky.social · 2h

Wearing a respirator mask is more than merely "good." It is absolutely necessary. Covid vaccines do not prevent infection, and there is no "milder form" of Covid-19. Every infection of Covid-19 is potentially life-threatening.

If you are not doing so already, you should be wearing a respirator mask in all situations of potential contagion, to avoid repeated infections of Covid-19.

Israel has killed tens of thousands in Gaza, and many of their stories will remain untold. We may never know the full extent of Israel's unspeakable crimes against Palestinians.

What we do know is that Israel's genocide has to end now. No one should have to endure this.

In 2 years, Israel has:
- Wiped out entire bloodlines
- Starved children and families
- Forced 2 million Palestinians into homelessness
- Massacred people in line for aid
- Destroyed historic landmarks, churches and mosques
- Buried Palestinians in mass graves
- and more.

The pro-infection advocates have now reached the stage that they are denying saying that kids can be used to boost adult immunity… by infecting them and spreading it into households… schools.

Too late now. It’s on the record.

The shame of it.

The ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 is the result of governments worldwide deliberately allowing SARS-CoV-2, an airborne virus, to spread without any control.

Never underestimate the corrupt things a government will do—such as letting a dangerous virus run rampant while convincing everyone it’s harmless or just a cold. #COVID

Most citizens prefer being passive to being active. They choose to put their trust in "leaders" who are overtly corrupt because it is easier than taking action themselves.

No matter how bad things get in so-called Western democracies, weak-kneed liberals will always foolishly believe that they can vote their way out of it.

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.

In truth, no one ever "recovers" from Covid-19. Long after overt symptoms have faded, damage continues within the body.

Michael Collins Morton @mcollinsmorton.bsky.social · May 23

What most people think of as "Covid" is merely the display of symptoms resulting from infection, not the disease itself, which does lasting harm. Unfortunately, that harm is frequently unseen in the short term, leading people to erroneously imagine that they have "recovered."
