i hate when people say the pandemic traumatized them referring to 2020. like, try being the only person everywhere you go in 2025 that knows about covid damage, witnessing the whole population’s health slowly deteriorating and waking up everyday to a dystopia nobody knows about.

This is Violet Affleck - daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. SHE is the star now for advocating for clean air and protecting children everywhere. Take 2 minutes to listen to what she is saying 👇 #affleck #air #violet #mask #cvid
“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks & clean air at the UN today!

My coworker wonders whatever happened to people having empathy for one another, so I asked him if he was planning on starting to wear a mask again and with a bewildered look he asked me why he would do that.

Adding: Stop telling yourself that the people who are still masking/responding adaptively to the present pandemic are doing it because it’s easy for them, while it would be hard for you. It isn’t easy for anyone. Some of us are just doing it anyway.
If you could tell everyone in the world three things about Covid, what would they be? Mine would be: Stop telling yourself covid is over Stop telling yourself covid is harmless Stop telling yourself covid is unstoppable

Research published in the European Heart Journal studying 2,390 people from 16 countries found that SARS2 infections, even mild, likely causes blood vessels to stiffen and age by approx. 5 years, increasing the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, strokes and heart attacks.

COVID brain damage. We've known this for some time. This facet of COVID damage is changing the world we live in. Because brain damage implies behavioral change, and not in a good way. And since we let it rip, it's changing behavior at worldwide population level. Look around.
You know, I think the reason people aren't freaking out about this report in Nature detailing the physical brain damage caused by covid infection is the physical brain damage caused by covid infection. nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

A common clapback from measles minimizers is that, "Measles was no big deal when I was a kid. Everyone had it. So why are you so panicky now?" Let's break it down with some national Canadian data... Thread [1/6]

By 2023, 40% of college students developed brain damage from Covid infections. The finding is striking in that it's from New Zealand, where the cumulative reinfections are lower than in the U.S.

1. The concerning political shift against public health that we're all witnessing is not just fueled by antivaxx ideology and politics; it is also fueled by a legacy of obfuscation since 2020 over the efficacy of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions for Covid-19.

One of the consequences of psychologically minimizing COVlD reinfections for 5 years has been that people seek alternative explanations for their declining health. This denialism fosters anti-vaccine sentiment and amplifies anti-vax voices.
