Stuck in the Middle with Masking: Playing the Long Game in a Short-Sighted Age - WHN
“My identity as a healthy person had always been there—rooted in avoiding illness and protecting long-term well-being. But as the pandemic dragged on, that identity expanded, engulfing a broader view of what true health meant: seeing the bigger picture, understanding cumulative risk, and recognizing that preserving function over time is the real win.”

The Institutions Are Collapsing
The Institutions Are Collapsing

“This is what passes for medical care these days. Medical institutions are collapsing. Public health has collapsed. The people are sick because everyone has had covid on multiple occasions by now.

Immunologists who argued about this at first are beginning to agree that yeah, something has changed.”

We may think we’re done with COVID-19, but COVID-19 is not done with us
We may think we’re done with COVID-19, but COVID-19 is not done with us

“I am concerned that the sense of urgency about COVID-19 appears to have faded. The disease has not been discussed during the election season, even though it is an ongoing and developing public health threat. I believe this is a dangerous mindset. The reality is that COVID-19 remains a unique and deadly threat for many people — it is not just another respiratory virus, and should not be treated as such by our leaders.”
