I don't know why I'm surprised. I mean I see an article about #covid and the heart and think of they're gonna talk about how the virus stays in the body past initial infection and tackles mitochondria, infiltrates organs, studies showing reinfections increase these risks ... But no. They have this idiot spewing immunity debt bullshit with no research, sense, or data to back it up https://www.heart.org/en/news/2025/01/16/how-the-virus-behind-covid-19-can-harm-your-blood-vessels-and-your-heart

November is here! And so is the next issue of Kids' Zone Covid-Conscious magazine made by @whn volunteers, for digesting #covid info and putting it into action, and sharing stories from others who are doing the same. Although it's geared toward kids, I've heard a lot of adults enjoy reading it too! And we are largely submission based, which helps bring a variety of perspectives and builds community, so feel free to download and to send us submissions at
Thanks to @riotmuffin, my article Recovering from Shock: Antifascist Struggle in an Ongoing Pandemic was turned into a zine! Grab a copy - for screen or print - here: https://archive.org/details/@mediaactivist #Covid19 #Covid #CovidIsNotOver #MaskUp

Ever wonder about the basis for fear-mongering & conspiracy theories about mRNA vaccine? Wish you had a place to go when someone cites "proof"?
I've got you covered! In my latest post @PLOS, I buckle up for the waves of anti-vax claims likely to come at us in 2025 :
Huge Covid vax milestone: The first next generation Covid vax has passed its European Medicines Agency review! 🎉 And an application to the US FDA is planned.
The Arcturus self-amplifying RNA vaccine is on track for EU authorization in 30 countries in the next few weeks: Happy New Year, Europeans!
All this & more in my latest monthly update @PLOS ... 1/2
It's a #covid surge alright, but not a "winter surge". It's an unmasked gathering surge, an irresponsible-sick-traveling surge, a not-upgrading-filtration-and-ventilation surge. It's not a no big deal infection, it's a possible chronic disease, disability, or death infection. It's not an immune system builder, it's an immune system breaker. It's not evolving milder, it's evolving faster. We are not immune to it, we are blind to it. The answer is not masking alone, it's masking together, n95+

Its not just a #covid thing. It's a #chronicillness thing... Doesn't matter if it's #asthma and-- just use inhalers, or #pain-- just take pain killers, or viral illness-- just take suppressants.. it's always about pushing through it instead of treating the problem. The mold, or allergens. The rest and recovery. The healing. The cleaning. The fixing. That takes time that costs THEM something.

"…a trip participant tested positive for COVID the day before the trip and was told by the organisers she was still welcome to come on the trip …
And now Isabel [Kaplan], who is 34 years old, has long covid. The disease has a vast array of presentations, and Isabel has the more serious version, her symptoms akin to those suffering from ME."

"COVID-19 Triggers ME/CFS"
by Suzanne D. Vernon
https://batemanhornecenter.org/covid-19-triggers-me-cfs/
"…we found that among participants infected with SARS-CoV-2, the incidence of ME/CFS—defined using the Institute of Medicine (IOM) diagnostic criteria—was 15 times higher than pre-pandemic rates"
"531 participants met ME/CFS criteria, translating to a prevalence of 4.5% among those infected—nearly eight times higher than uninfected participants"

EVERY SINGLE DAY in parenting groups, I see posts that say "[family member] knowingly exposed us to an illness! What do I do?"
We literally learned AN ENTIRE SET OF SKILLS FOR HOW TO HANDLE THIS DURING A MULTI-YEAR PANDEMIC THAT NEVER ENDED.
But now that everyone is "back to normal," I guess they have amnesia about masks, pods, and explicit conversations about illness and exposures?

#COVID taught me that zombie movies are wildly unrealistic. Where’s the scene where Karen licks a doorknob to “build natural resistance” to the zombie virus?
Or the guy who runs into a horde, screaming, “My rights!” because he’s pretty sure the CDC invented zombies to sell more hazmat suits?
Where's the government’s Zombie Safety Taskforce announcing: “If you’ve been bitten but haven’t fully turned after 3 days then get back to work. The economy needs you!”
Want some good news? Sure you do!
Check out my update on next generation Covid vaccines this month @PLOS
* Another intranasal Covid vax went into clinical trial in Europe - it's the 32nd mucosal vax in trials
* An oral Covid vax trial got the green light to start recruiting thousands across the US
* More preclinical research showing reduced transmission
* International funding for a pancoronavirus vax in Canada
Matt McGorry does a perfect, succinct Myth vs Fact on #Covid/ #longCovid , you can view the YouTube Short here:
Hey did anybody hear anything yesterday to "remember" or "never forget" the day that we entered the global pandemic called #Covid?
It's been 23 years and we still get bombarded with insistence that we never forget 9/11!!
But not one rememberance of Covid.
DEATHS:
7,090,776 - Covid
2,996 - 9/11
ILLNESSES RELATED TO:
65,000,000 - #LongCovid
45,200 - 9/11
If we had a 9/11 every day since March 11, 2020, the total deaths would still not be as many as the deaths from Covid.
#Cancer, #Covid, & #Alzheimers #Research Could Be Lost Forever
Days before #RFKJr announced that 10,000 #HHS staffers would lose their jobs, a message appeared on #NIH research repository sites saying they were "under review."

Does anyone have a favorite mask style, brand or model they are able to comfortably wear all day?
I start to overheat after an hour or so in an N95, and I'm pretty sure the skin on my face would be wrecked before long if it isn't vented somehow.

Major funding cuts to the vaccine pipeline announced in the US, but important advances for mucosal Covid vaccines globally:
- 10th mucosal vax reaches phase 2 (in Canada)
- Another human challenge trial as prep for mucosal trials started in Singapore
- Trial results, including one for intranasal vax in kids in China
And lots more in my latest next generation Covid vaccine update now online @PLOS
Mike Masnick compares how the Free Press covered the (misleading-to-false) story of the #Biden admin’s "censorship" of #SocialMedia [actually trying to combat harmful #disinformation like #election & #COVID #lies & #ConspiracyTheories or #HateSpeech like #WhiteSupremacy], to how they handled the very real #censorship attack on #Wikipedia by #Trump’s DC #USAttorney #EdMartin.
Spoiler: there are differences.
