What It's Like to Wear a Mask: A Survey on Discrimination
MASSIVE public health failure, and huge misinformation and propaganda win for both political parties.
“Half of Americans (49%) believe they'll never get COVID again, according to new polling from the Ipsos Consumer Tracker”
“People I know are yet again talking about sudden health problems:
Hearing loss. Loss of smell. Movement issues. New onset asthma. Heart conditions. Clots in the legs. Zero connection being made to COVID.
The only thing public health succeeded at is covering their own ass.”
“I'm on day 15 COVID + and I NEVER had a fever. Nor did my partner.
@CDC COVID guidelines aren't prevention guides, they're ‘how to stay in a pandemic’ playbook.”
“Fluctuations in excess mortality tend to be short-term, reflecting developments such as a large-scale medical breakthrough or the negative impact of a large epidemic. However, as society absorbs these events, excess mortality should revert to the baseline.
With COVID-19 this has not been the case and all-cause excess mortality is still above the pre-pandemic baseline. In 2021, excess mortality spiked to 23% above the 2019 baseline in the US, and 11% in the UK. As Swiss Re Institute's report estimates, in 2023, it remained significantly elevated in the range of 3–7% for the US, and 5–8% for the UK.
If the underlying drivers of current excess mortality continue, Swiss Re Institute's analysis estimates that excess mortality may remain as high as 3% for the US and 2.5% for the UK by 2033."
What does the percentage increase in deaths mean in real numbers? Roughly 3 million people die in the US every year of various causes (cancer, heart disease, accidents, etc). The 3-7% increase in 2023 represents a 3-7% increase in that 3m number, so roughly 90-210k more deaths. This places Covid-19 solidly among the top five killers in the US.
How do we safely turn indoor air itself into a disinfectant?
This study is the first responsible step forward to answering that question:
“The Berkeley Repertory Theatre (Bay Area, CA) has mandatory masked events on Sundays and Tuesdays.
This is inclusiveness. This is community care.
Vulnerable people deserve to experience life, too.”
“Our slow and delayed response to Covid-19, mpox, HIV/AIDS and nearly-all chronic diseases demonstrate how widespread denial is, the lives it continues to claim and the urgent need to address this hidden defense mechanism. The best way to overcome denial—both individually and collectively—is to bring the risks into clear focus. Simply warning people about the dangers isn’t enough.
Strong leadership is crucial in breaking through this subconscious barrier.”
Notice CDC is waiting until after the election to resume gathering vital public health info on Covid.
“Nov 1, the @CMSgov will require hospitals to report info about flu, COVID-19, and RSV. Read about how these data are key to maintain situational awareness and address current patient health and safety needs.”
5000 people have died in a little over a month in our “post-Pandemic” “Covid is over” country. And this is a gross undercount as a great number of Covid deaths are no longer being reported.
The disease that must not be acknowledged by media…
“Covid-19 has two walls. The Memorial Wall for those killed by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and the ‘wall of silence’ when questions are asked. Though #Covid-19 regularly trends on social media in posts by the ‘Covid-aware’ – researchers in the field, medics who see the impact, scientifically literate lay persons, or people who are clinically vulnerable or have been harmed by the infection – for some time there has been criticism that political leaders and mainstream journalists are inexplicably stonewalling.”
“Professor Beggs' expert statement made clear what we have known for some time: Covid is an airborne virus, capable of lingering in the air for hours and posing a threat particularly to those who are Clinically Vulnerable.
Yet, the response from the former UK government was, at best, wholly inadequate.”
“The most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that last month nearly half of the United States have reported "very high" levels of COVID-19 activity.
As concerns with COVID have waned across the U.S., the CDC has come to rely on wastewater data to track the virus, which often lags several weeks behind current case counts.
Data collected between Aug. 25 and Aug. 31 by the CDC showed that 23 states have reported "very high" levels of wastewater viral activity nationwide. The data was published on Sept. 5.”
“To my great surprise, it was negative, and I went back to sleep. When I tested again two days later, it turned positive in seconds. I started to wonder: Are home Covid tests bad at detecting the latest variants?
The short answer is no, the doctors I spoke with told me. But that answer comes with a big caveat. It turns out the way the immune system interacts with the virus these days means home tests may not turn positive until several days after you get sick.”
“Current Covid transmission is higher than it has been throughout 90.5% of the pandemic. If the U.S. was still testing & reporting data, we would be reporting over 9 MILLION new cases each week. Since we’re not, the official number is like 1.2 million new cases each week.
MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of COVID infections go unreported each week. As people get sick & die en masse, we pretend it’s not COVID. Keeping NO record of the ongoing carnage is the entire point.”
“This is what the Covid cautious want our friends and families to understand. It hasn't gone away. It's still here. It's hurting millions of people. Our governments ignore it. Our mainstream media minimizes it.
Here's what we know:”
