It's not just avoiding Covid, it's avoiding it long enough for your doctor to actually look at some of the research about long-term effects. I am stunned by the incuriosity (and hostility!) displayed by several friends' PCPs when asked about possible cardiovascular/brain risks.

Thread So all this BS about there being no RCTs proving mask effectiveness are lies.

A) A proper RCT is impossible, and B) an RCT that tested "being forced to wear a respirator, but only at work" vs "up to you" showed respirators meaningfully reduced infection.

Starting second thread on things we peasants can do to better arm ourselves against Covid.

Lots of great info below, but much is now outdated (monoclonals, Evusheld, where to get free tests and masks, etc...) but still a treasure trove. From now on I'll add to this thread.✌😷
