When Johns Hopkins Hospital stopped masking, my otherwise really smart & experienced transplant nurse told me that COVID can't be airborne or they'd be required to keep wearing masks. The American healthcare system has been filled with "wash your hands to prevent a respiratory virus" misinformation.

The truth about Covid’s threat is quietly finding its way into Public Health websites, work & insurance policies, disclaimers on event tix, because they know one day you WILL BE disabled by Covid and seek compensation. And they will point to the fine print saying, well that’s on you for not reading.

The CDC has finally acknowledged that SARS-CoV-2 is not a typical “winter” respiratory virus, and COVID-19 is a threat that can surge throughout the year. Source: www.cdc.gov/ncird/whats-...

Suggestion for folks asking for mutual aid support (based on years of experience): There's no need to say you're embarrassed or ashamed or hate to have to ask. That's exactly how capitalism wants you to feel. And it wants you to reinforce the idea that asking for help is shameful.

It is normal and human and absolutely okay to need to ask for help and support and care from others. Humans are social creatures who rely on each other. The idea that we can do it all alone without ever needing to ask for help just isn't realistic.

Everybody said it LOUDLY over and over. The media and politicians kept denying it and gaslighting us anyway. Supply chain issues my A$$! “…corporations built and then broke the supply chain…they took advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic to price gouge everybody else.”

🚨NEW: CEOs were caught on tape bragging that they were fueling inflation by raising prices to boost profits. Media blamed inflation on workers & spending & lawmakers then threw millions off the social safety. But it was a lie. Listen to this new LEVER TIME episode to hear the truth👇

Who Broke The Economy?www.levernews.com Inflation and a broken supply chain created chaos across the world. Corporate consolidation is the reason it all happened.

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders. AI is booming (if you're a pleb) but if you have money - Goldman Sachs will be honest with you instead web.archive.org/web/20240629...

Great news proving N95 masks not only work to prevent inhaling Covid & other viruses, but also trap viruses inside the mask & touching them doesn’t leave active virus on hands. BUT just bc that was same for surgical masks, DOESNT MEAN THEYRE SAFE! Infected air goes straight into nose/mouth from gaps

In Greece, a law came into effect on Monday that allows some companies to enforce a six-day workweek. Here’s what to know about the country’s overtime measure.

Fixed it

However, the CDC continues to go out of its way to stigmatize masks, not listing it in its core prevention strategies for respiratory viruses, and calling it an “additional” prevention strategy instead.

Quietly and calmly without fanfare or fireworks the CDC noted “COVID-19 can surge throughout the year” but this admission was made quietly and calmly without fanfare or fireworks so as not to discourage anyone from attending a barbecue.
