    ~75% of the unvaccinated are low-income. They are nearly 3X as likely to be food insecure. Most are parents, and many work jobs where they can’t just take time off for a shot and recovery. But there is so much we could do to reach them if we wanted to:

    They are the ones saying one thing while doing another. Jesus was pretty clear about how to love our neighbors, and whether or not to give & give to others without judging them. Conservatives make it pretty clear they’ll say anything to manipulate others & take all the 💵💵💵.

    Women who have not been harassed/assaulted don’t lie & say they have. POC who are not experiencing racism don’t lie & say they are. People who don’t have a disability don’t lie & say they do. The liars here are the Christian conservatives who claim to love & follow Jesus.

    I work at a food bank, and I spend a lot of time at food pantries and food distributions. I get asked all the time, "do you think people LIE and come to get food if they don't really NEED it?" 👀 My short answer is: no. My long answer is: (thread)

    Minimizing childhood Covid in the US—a play in 4 acts Act 1️⃣ “Kids don’t get Covid” Act 2️⃣ “Kids get Covid but don’t get ill” Act 3️⃣ “Kids die from Covid but don’t worry, only kids with pre-existing conditions die” Act 4️⃣ “Don’t worry, kids also die from drowning or car crashes”

    It seems this might be the most dangerous time in this pandemic. Not for reasons you might think… instead because people — of all political persuasions — just don’t care anymore / or they’ve lost their ability to be rational about this… and they aren’t even trying to keep safe.

    Please read this thread. It’s important to understand.

    🧵 We have sacrificed so much for you over these past 18 months. And it took only 3 days for you to destroy one of the last things I was hanging onto - the ability to keep my kids safe. A big fear, more than for my own safety caring for hospitalized COVID patients, was … 1/

    One of the most annoying things in this pandemic is folks on left & right only using metrics of ‘hospitalizations’ and ‘deaths’, as if that’s all that matters, as if doesn’t exist, as if the data showing even ‘mild’ Covid cases can have cognitive effects doesn’t exist!

    We’re building a politics of love. Because I love you, I care that you have food to eat. I care that you have a roof over your head. I care that you have what you need to thrive. That’s how our government should work.

    An epidemiologist from Johns Hopkins walks into a maskless party with 14 fully vaccinated friends… 11 of 14 got breakthrough —so yes, even some epidemiologists had severely underestimated . definitely made a grave mistake.

    I knew Covid deaths were being underreported. It never occurred to me some of that underreporting was because the deceased's family was too embarrassed to admit the truth.

    Oh, I understand the problem. Lol. What I’d love to hear from people is would you prefer the default 100vh = the shorter length? It cannot be dynamic(because typography). And the new CSS units (LVH, SVH, DVH) will give you options for all. But what should the future of VH be?
