Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.”

Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment.

No questions asked.

No proof required.

Pass it on.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have revealed a synthetic glycosystem -a sugar-coated polymer nanoparticle- that can BLOCK SARS-CoV-2 from infecting human cells, REDUCING infection rates by NEARLY 99%. Acting as a decoy, the molecule BINDS to the spike protein, PREVENTING it from attaching to real cells.

So… the very same Republicans who said they were cutting SNAP because hunger could be “addressed by food banks”, just cut $500 MILLION in funding for…

You guessed it.

Food banks.

So it’s not ok to force people to mask in a deadly and debilitating ongoing pandemic, but it IS ok to force people to take mask off? 🖕😷

Those still masking NEED TO but everyone should be masking bc research proves Covid damages immune & vascular systems making ANYONE more vulnerable, even athletes
NEW: New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul is reviving her push to ban masks and is urging New York State lawmakers to include a mask ban in the upcoming state budget.

This move endangers public health and threatens civil liberties.

Our paper on 13 case studies of using extended Paxlovid (7-30 days) for Long Covid is out in @nytimes.com! Thank you
@pambelluck.bsky.social for covering this!

Results were mixed: 5 reported lasting improvement, 4 temporary improvement, and 4 no improvement.

Many studies the last 3 years used data from early in the pandemic b4 people were vaxxed—making it possible for many 2 comfortably dismiss the results. A new study—from May ‘20 to Jan. ‘23 on subjects infected b4 & after vaccination—finds vaccines alone don’t prevent COVID-related brain damage.

The WHO never said the pandemic was over, and I'm sorry you were mislead by corporate interests that wanted you to prop up the economy with your health by going back into the office, spending, and traveling.

Here is the WHO in Jan 2024, and December 2024 stating the facts.

Virginia has a mask ban. Breaking it is a Class 6 felony.

The law says one must carry "an affidavit from the physician or osteopath specifying the medical necessity for wearing the device and the date on which the wearing of the device will no longer be necessary".

Not just a note, an affidavit.

One of the greatest lies of the pandemic has been that repeat Covid infections are “inevitable”.

People were led to believe there was no point in taking precautions - and even encouraged to get covid in order to “build immunity”.
