I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

In regard to Covid-19, as in regard to most things, the masses are strongly inclined to choose denial over truth, because denial allows them to avoid the necessity of changing their own careless actions.

#COVID19
The problem, however, is that most people do not want to understand the danger of Covid-19, because understanding that danger would conflict with their irrational denial, and denial is the crutch upon which they lean.

I know there’s a lot happening right now, but we shouldn’t lose sight of how nutty it is to see something like this coming from the director of the National Institutes of Health.

Jon Stewart is actually really bad on public health stuff.

He promoted COVID lab leak conspiracy nonsense, giving liberals the permission structure needed to embrace it.

This fits squarely in with that. Dude clearly internalized a lot of bad info.
Jon Stewart and the pod saves guys mocking people who wear masks while talking about What Is To Be Done is exactly what Jon Stewart and the pod saves guys are, it's the most Jon Stewart and pod saves guys thing possible.

#OneOfTheTwo Jon Stewart mocked for masking. Because Covid destroyed my body & my life. There are ~half a billion people with #LongCovid around the world. Why would anyone assume they’re too special to become one of us?

MAGA cult followers unconsciously understand that MAGA is a deranged, corrupt, and morally bankrupt cult, but they cannot face that reality. Instead, they use “projection” by denying their behavior and attributing it to liberals.. Every accusation is a confession.

Prasad, Makary and others who claim that COVID19 vaccines killed 10 children are not telling the truth.

According to @jeremyfaust.bsky.social, the committee that worked on this question reported that there were ZERO deaths that they were certain were caused by the vaccines.

Well worth reading.
Scoop: FDA vaccine chief’s memo cited 10 pediatric Covid-19 vaccine deaths—but the agency’s own analysis found 0–7.
Dr. Vinay Prasad circulated a memo before FDA scientists finished their work. His conclusions overshot what the agency’s own analysts ultimately found.

Spain may bring back indoor face mask rules as flu and COVID cases surge. Health leaders will meet on Dec 3 to decide whether masks should again be required in hospitals, health centers, and possibly other crowded indoor venues like cinemas or theatres to help reduce transmission.

A Cambridge-led study of 13.9 million children in England found COVID vaccines are the safest option. The very rare, short-term risk of heart inflammation from vaccination is far lower than the risks from infection, which can cause blood clots, heart issues and severe inflammation for up to a year.

"A new preprint study shatters the idea that pediatric long COVID is just a mild or different version of the adult form.
It shows that children share the same core immune patterns - and, strikingly, some resemble those seen in chronic infections like HIV"
