My reply to Ashish Jha who tweeted that even if you are up to date with your COVID vaccines, you can still get infected and even die unless you get treatment. #COVID_19 #covid_all

Vaccinated people now make up the majority of COVID deaths. Let that sink in. #COVID_19 #covid_all

@Vbuy That's sensible. We don't have Thanksgiving over here, but schools seem to have completely given up on testing for covid.
I've even seem some reports that schools are encouraging teachers to turn up to work even if they test positive.
And people wonder why covid is spreading out of control.

Why are we excluding children under 5 who’ve had 3 Pfizer doses from getting the updated bivalent boosters? #COVID_19 #covid_all

All of the mass shootings are a symptom of a very sick society - spiritually, and now, with post-covid issues, physically - neurologically - as well. A lack of compassion, and brutal apathy fed by the church of materialism - those are the root causes. Historically speaking, there's only one way this ends...
A viral hurricane is making landfall on our healthcare systems. #covid_all #COVID_19

How can a nation stand by and do nothing while it’s citizens suffer the long-term health effects of an airborne pathogen that we could mitigate and perhaps one day eradicate if we just put our minds to it.
We lack the will and compassion for others, not the knowledge. #COVID_19

I just don’t think most people truly understand yet.
They tricked you into sacrificing your children in order to keep the wealth of the 1% growing.
And they are quietly releasing a report that says “it worked REALLY well too!”
And they aren’t changing a single thing in response.
Because this was the plan, & the plan worked. Nothing to see here folks. Just keep up the “normal.” The commercial real estate investors & those office buildings to stay full & the restaurants to stay busy.

I've put together a small, but incomplete, list of instances/communities with POC moderators. Mastodon.social, and Mastodon online, are not it.
weirder.earth, rage.love, scholar.social, blacktwitter.io, Mastodon.art, queer.garden, writeout.ink.

Since being on mastodon, as I slowly move out of the bird app, I have found that I’m missing the #indigenous and #Navajo community that made it difficult for me to decide to leave Twitter.
Absolutely mastodon has a more positive and welcoming environment here, which I’m loving. But Im in search of #indigenous and other #bipoc accounts.

Huge study showing 62% more likely chance of developing diabetes after #Covid_19 (compared to if you don’t get covid), especially in the first 3 months. Even in kids! #WearAMask

Everyone, get your hand sanitizers and tissues ready for the big announcement tomorrow. We ride at dawn. 🤡

We should declare a national emergency in the U.S. right now because hospitals are overflowing with young children suffering from #COVID_19, #influenza-virus, and #RSV.

Pandemic/social murder
“But no sustained social transformation occurred. Instead, we have witnessed the de-prioritization of care for entire populations and the resurgence of eugenicist sentiments. Our society remains implacably hostile to the people who are most vulnerable to illness and premature death. They have been cast aside as inconvenient.”

Inconvenient Truth: Each of us is at-risk for #LongCOVID and the only way to 💯 mitigate that risk and prevent #LongCOVID is by not getting #COVID19.
