Saying you trusted government & public advice that Covid ended in 2022 so you could stop taking precautions and go back to brunch is a Very Vanilla take

Study links long COVID in kids to worse grades and attention problems A large NIH-funded RECOVER-Pediatrics study found that children and adolescents meeting the long COVID research threshold were more likely to have caregiver-reported worsening grades, attention diffic...

Study links long COVID in kids to worse grades and attention problems.

"A major U.S. cohort study suggests long COVID in children may reach far beyond lingering symptoms, affecting how they learn, focus, and connect with friends at school."

This whole thread is 🎯

The idea that people who take significant Covid precautions must be introverts is offensive as hell.
It’s ableist as hell. Performers, Organizers, the biggest extroverts in the world were forced to give up careers because other people wouldn’t mask. We do it because we still can’t afford COVID.

My edgy take is that I listened to the government & big business when they said Covid was over & I stopped taking precautions

[sarcasm]

Smart! It's me as well. I wear an N95 when out and will have small gatherings with friends who plus life and have no symptoms

The quote tweets to this are a bunch of liberals reflecting on Covid in the past tense as if it suddenly ended in 2022. This site is hard to be on. SMH

So this may come as a surprise to some folks on here, but there are people still living like this today because they can't afford to get reinfected with Covid & the pandemic is *not* over

The BCNDP is not a progressive political party. Just making that clear in case there was any confusion

Yikes

Danielle Smith’s cancer claims anger Alberta cancer patients A stage four cancer patient says she was shocked and outraged after hearing UCP leadership candidate Danielle Smith say in a Twitter broadcast last week that cancer is preventable up to the fourth sta...

I need to stop being shocked by DS. She also said cancer is within your control until stage four.

Smith on disability today... "Whether a person is disabled does not create a limitation in what they can do and whether they can work" And... "For those who are severely handicapped, I think there's such obvious indicators there"

Danielle Smith on disability this past week. Truly contestable words. I am so ashamed my country has ableist 'leaders' like this

What's happening to healthcare in Alberta is potentially coming for all of us in Canada. Insurance companies will want this everywhere, and there doesn't seem to be much protecting Canada and its citizens at a federal level, @mark-carney.bsky.social. It's legitimately upending. #CdnPoli #CanPoli

Danielle Smith is doing so much harm to population health in our country. I know RFK Jr looms large across the border, but we have our own catastrophe unfolding here @savestandard.bsky.social

Bell: Alberta will now be on daylight saving time year-round, says Premier Smith Alberta will now be on daylight time year-round, reveals Alberta Premier Danielle Smith in an exclusive interview.

Anyone who has celebrated this policy shift to pDST, i hope you now understand Smith is doing this to benefit big business & capital, not human health. Especially not children's health

This is conservative ideology that a lot of "progressive" people really believe. They don't see "ppl liked things about gov't support and time at home" as a reflection of how much capitalist society crushes people but instead an apolitical reflection of People These Days, They're Lazy & Antisocial.

💯

What was the experience like for people who lost loved ones, became ill themselves, had to homeschool kids on top of work, experienced ⬆️ DV, were essential workers?

And many disabled people liked WFH not because they were getting paid to 'superdole' but because for once work was accessible

Indeed

The loudest voices on this site on Covid are the most obnoxious and know the least about it from a social justice framework. They also refer to the pandemic in past tense

The personalized cancer vaccines you're pointing to depend heavily on AI to work well & fast enough to be clinically useful.

So the progress we going to see is coming from both working together

In a talk with chief data scientist with Pfizer, it was machine learning and neural networks, combined w/ very careful data cleansing, that allowed them to develop their mRNA Covid vaccine as quickly as they did. Just a reminder that not all AI is gen AI.

This takes courage..

The Strokes closed their Coachella set flashing images of the governments the CIA has overthrown, the leaders the US has assassinated including MLK, the war crimes the US is committing in Iran, and the genocide Israel is committing in occupied Palestine.

I loved going to music festivals in Japan. Some of them went from dusk to dawn with fireworks! 🎆
