The 79 year old president could set a mask requirement at his public indoor event in an area of high covid transmission, but then he couldn't say his stupid line about how he made it so "covid no longer controls our lives" as 500 Americans still die of the disease every day

"COVID-19 patients retain elevated risk of death for at least 18 months after infection" It continues to blow me away how many people have been so misled that #COVID19 is harmless when we have so many research and studies already showing harms! escardio.org/The-ESC/Press-

As a communicator I find the “fear mongering,” as you call it, the most effective because you inconsiderate, selfish, genocidal wretches do not care about COVID until it personally impacts you. But also, idk, watching 1m+ people die and millions become disabled changes you. twitter.com/mindyisser/sta

"People with disabilities would've been left to die in the stone age!" Except there's archeological evidence from the neolithic period of humans being cared for well after they were disabled, so the idea of leaving a disabled person behind is a bit of a modern idea 🧵 1/

these people are so predictable. every time there's a long thread intellectualizing pandemic minimization, the op eventually admits their real problem is they just don't like the way scared, angry disabled people are reacting to genocide. they want us to shut up and die quietly.

i muted this because it was just too much but literally all i meant was it’s crazy that people post stuff like “going to restaurants is eugenics” or “hosting a party is social murder” !!!

YOU did this to me, everyone who stopped taking preventive measures + lobbying for an appropriate public health response my indefinite eugenics house arrest is because of YOUR choices i’ll never let you victim blame because you don’t like the suffering your choices cause

& while we are on the subject, ppl can get mad all they want at the folks saying indoor dining is killing ppl, but they're right. the current strain of covid has an r0 like measles, meaning if u get sick, u can infect 14+ ppl. & then those ppl will get sick & so on. +

When I make my own "risk assessments," it is not about my personal comfort/anxiety. It's about what's going to kill me or tank my QOL more. It's knowing that when I made an appointment at an autonomic clinic last May, the soonest they could see me is this coming March.

we could, i don’t know, organize + demand from those in power a healthier society for everyone that protects the rights of the most vulnerable. i hear that’s succeeded once or twice when faced with other problems. people called “activists” often lead this change🙃🙃🙃

this notion that we should accept government inaction as inevitable and the only possible response to mass disability and death is futile PANIC!!!!!1!!1111!! from a self-described activist is why we’re, in the short-term, so, so, SO fucked in terms of covid + its fallout. twitter.com/mindyisser/sta

here’s the thing: truth always ultimately prevails over denial. that can take awhile, but it’s always the end result, eventually. deniers NEVER look good in the longterm. those who tell + fight for truth always end up as “heroes.” you have a choice right now. make the right one

Shelter in place. Do everything possible to avoid infections and break chains of transmission. We’re all in this together. Masks save lives. Infections can spread without symptoms. Our choices matter. Even if leaders don’t say it anymore, this is all still true.
