Women have been collectively convinced that pregnancy is a health-neutral event and I am here to tell you that this is a tactic used to suppress freedom of informed choice.

I would like to add NEITHER CANDIDATE is discussing *any* of the imminent threats I listed above. The politicians & assorted celebrities who are endorsing these candidates aren’t discussing these issues either. Instead we’re collectively pretending everything’s fine & it’s just a normal election season. After 5 years of total abandonment by government & the medical establishment, I personally feel like I no longer have a place in this society. Most days, I don’t even feel like a human being. I no longer relate to most people. The issues people fixate on seem pointless. Watching everyone disable themselves & their kids is a living nightmare, but the fact that NO ONE discusses it amid the largest increase in pediatric mortality in over 50 years & RECORD disability & premature death is beyond comprehension. Watching people justify genocide & eugenics after 5 years of Covid sends a chill down my spine. Hearing most humans will likely be going extinct in a matter of decades, while NO ONE talks about it & climate is dead last on the list of issues Americans prioritize, is also mind-boggling. We’ve COMPLETELY lost the plot. And there’s probably no coming back because billionaires own our governments & media.

Previously young and healthy people in hospital with arrhythmias, strokes, pneumonias, POTS. Bodies ravaged by shingles, with horrendous rash that persists for months. Nobody heals, or they heal incredibly slowly. And often they’re sick again before that’s done. /3

A study came out recently that showed a single COVID infection increases your risk of serious cardiovascular events for 3 years post infection. That’s terrifying - but there’s a bigger discussion being missed. That finding means a Covid infection makes you a “vulnerable”. 🧵/1

One of the outcome measures we're doing in the vagus stim trial is to stand still for ten mins while we check BP/HR and metabolic tests. The toll this takes on pwME is staggering. On top of abnormal readings, I've seen tremors, pallor, slurred speech, loss of coordination...

The most radical thing we can do right now is wear a mask. Fight mask bans. Clean the air. Tell leaders that we’re done being sick all the time. We’re done with the minimizing. We’re going to protect one another /end

“I’m not testing for Covid. If I’m sick I’m sick. What difference does it make?” It makes a big difference. You SHOULD be testing. There’s things you should do differently if it’s Covid. Governments & public health aren’t informing you - but that doesn’t change reality 🧵/1

Replying to @michael_hoerger
PMC COVID-19 Forecasting Model, Sept 2, 2024 🧵4/8 Happy Labor Day! We're seeing higher transmission than during 91.6% of the pandemic, so COVID is very much not "over." In a gathering of 10 people of average risk, there would be a 1 in 4 chance someone has COVID if no special rules (testing, isolating, etc.). Some schools still have not started yet and will begin tomorrow. Classrooms should presume someone has COVID. Mask, test, isolate until repeatedly negative.

The minimizer position is committed to every one of these assumptions being true. The cautious position is the right one if even one of them is false. 🧵

ALL of the SARS-CoV-2 studies from 2020-2023 are like “SARS-CoV-2 inflicts immense permanent damage to every organ system. It will be ESSENTIAL to follow up with every human who acquires Covid in order to monitor them for the onset of extremely serious complications—which often begin silently.” And then we pretended the pandemic was over, while normalizing endless reinfection. No one is being monitored and doctors insist Covid is mild & benign. When folks show up with Covid complications that cannot be ignored, individuals and their lifestyles are blamed, instead of the virus. FIVE YEARS of data & studies are aggressively memory-holed, & we are forced to continue pretending for profits & convenience.

It's pretty great that Biden is pardoning military vets convicted under Don't Ask Don't Tell and other anti-LGBTQ military laws and regs. That's a big deal. I worked on a DADT case when I was a paralegal in DC in the late 20th century. It was 1997 but "late 20th century" sounds more metal.
