😷 C'est le 1er dimanche du mois, il y a la messe de l'#AutodéfenseSanitaire : les Canards Masquées sont de sortie chez les camarades de @cabrioles.
Pour cette 3e chronique nous avons bossé sur "la vulnérabilité". Eh bien ce fut riche de brainstorming(ssss) collectif vu tout ce que cette notion détient à tort et à travers. Nous n'avons pas prétention d'être exhaustif-ves pour un tel bref format d'écriture, alors volontiers pour apprendre de vos critiques constructives.
On y discute de comment la catégorie « vulnérables » a conduit la majorité de la population à se croire visiblement “invulnérable”. 🙄
It occurred to me today that even though over 1 million Americans have died from Covid, we have no national memorial or national day day of mourning and how the powers that be have decided to memory hole the whole thing and how wrong this is.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Greene disgracefully disrespected Dr. Fauci during a hearing today: "Mr Fauci -- because you're not 'doctor' -- you're Mr. Fauci in my few minutes. No, I don't need your answer ... he belongs in prison"
For people who say #CovidIsNotOver, I agree with you. Also, the harassment of vilification of Dr. #Fauci is not over.
In this 6-4-2024 hearing #MTG attacks Dr. Fauci
"You know what this committee should be doing? We should writing a criminal referral because you should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity. You belong in prison Dr. Fauci"
What I'd like to see are investigations & prosecutions of the people who threatened Dr. Fauci, like the person who sent white powder to his office.
🇮🇪 Irish health chiefs sound alarm amid spike in Covid cases and hospitalisations.
"The Health Protection Surveillance Centre has confirmed an almost 20% rise in cases in a week up to May 25"
"Fatigue, a high temperature/having chills and a dry cough are the top three Covid symptoms, according to the HSE but there are others to be aware of."
Al Haddrell summarizes the findings of his and others' latest article where they explore how carbon dioxide affects how long SARS-CoV-2 remains infectious in the air.
In this 5th year of the Pandemic, I'm kinda gut punched by the abandonment of friends, some family and my peers.
I get punched again each time I see an event CFP shared with no health policy.
I recommend reading this piece by @MediaActivist . It's a very long, comprehensive read.
You aren't alone. This isn't your fault. Our society as it is set this up. It's just more of us are on the sharp edges of it. We're the canaries in the coalmine.
I follow COVID scientists here on Mastodon. I've seen them post links to studies showing waning effectiveness of COVID vaccines after 6 months.
I received the updated booster last October and want to get boosted again prior to some planned travel in July. (Air travel to the MAGA anti-vax cesspool known as Florida)
I have contacted three pharmacies in my area.
One has no COVID vaccines at all and said they won't receive any until fall.
The other two say they will not vaccinate me because they must follow US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines stating that only people 65 years and older should receive boosters at this time.
They won't vaccinate me even if I am willing to pay out of pocket.
Both say I must get a recommendation from my health care provider before they will even consider it.
Less than 20% of people in my state are up to date on their COVID vaccines. For those of us who want to follow the science and not some arbitrary age limitation, why not let us get vaccinated?
This federal survey is a complete #farce. My Dad got covid in hospital. He died from long covid cardiac arrest. My Aunt got covid in hospital & now suffers from long covid.....
My #CovidIsNotOver table at the Association for the Rhetoric of Science, Technology, and Medicine (ARSTM) at the Rhetoric Society (RSA)! Art by @JoBlakely and @violetblue ; zines by @hnewlevant ; flyers by @phpledge and bit.ly/lesscovid. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions on how to make it engaging--it's been lovely to meet other #CovidCautious people and create some visibility around #disability and #COVID .
🔴 These findings demonstrate that transfer of IgG from Long COVID patients to mice replicates disease symptoms, underscoring IgG's causative role in Long COVID pathogenesis.
I’m not saying, “Don’t do things,” I’m saying, “If you do things safely with a well-fitting KN95 * and good ventilation, you, and many other people, will be able to do even more things AND you reduce the chances of getting sick.”
Why is this so hard to grasp? 🤔
obviously the disclaimer here is if you can wear a mask you should wear a mask, to keep those who really can’t wear a mask more safe.
I dunno if anyone will not have heard, but the fancy Cue Health NAAT molecular #Covid test, with the handheld gizmo, has been revealed to be a near-fraud. The FDA found that the company implemented non-approved changes to reagent formulations and device firmware post-EUA that will have significantly reduced the test’s accuracy.
In response to the FDA’s letter, the company elected to go out of business.
Oh my good FCKING GOD.
Friend in the UK who has just been on a CRUISE posting that she has "caught a cold on the plane on the way home" but that she had a bit of a sore throat on the ship which she put down to the air conditioning. Several others travelling with her also have "a cold".
We are in YEAR FIVE of this fvcking PANDEMIC people.
IT'S NOT A COLD. #COVIDISNOTOVER
🇨🇦 Canada: New COVID-19 subvariants become the dominant strains in Canada.
"These new subvariants, known as KP.2 and KP.3, are under the Omicron umbrella, a type of mutation from the COVID-19 virus itself. They've spread so quickly that, as of May 19, 49.2 per cent of COVID-19 cases in Canada involve one of the strains."
Die Begründung des #RKI, warum man den #WasteWaterSurveillance#SARSCoV2 Abwassermonitoring Bericht jetzt nicht mehr direkt online einsehen kann, sondern nur noch als (HTML!) Download?
"Der Bericht ist mittlerweile sehr umfangreich, sodass wir das umstellen mussten. Wir suchen aber noch eine Lösung, damit man ihn nicht mehr herunterladen muss."
