I know it's been memory holed, but Biden/Kamala basically delayed WarpSpeed until after the election to hurt Trump. They were also making very anti-vax noises about the 'Trump' vaccine. They're all fascists.
JustAnotherRando (@justarandoontheweb.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, so far it seems to. But that is also waning as a vax-only approach is fast-tracking mutations. With a leaky vax, not trying to prevent transmission and subsequent mutations it is basically asking for it to be destroyed.
JustAnotherRando (@justarandoontheweb.bsky.social) reply parent
The COVID vax like the flu vax is never going to be very protective with infection. Many reasons: fast mutation, fast spread in your body before it hits your blood, no protection after weeks or less. Year round stew of new mutations. It was always so, we got very lucky with the initial dose.

100% agree. I believe electoralism is a dead end though in the current power structure. We absolutely will not be voting out these fascists.
Eg, we have a 2016 election where the margin of victory was measured in 10s of thousands, but 100s of thousands of Hillary voters were illegally prevented from voting. US elections are always about the degree of rigging. This isn't new. What should be new, is US white folk addressing that rigging.
All US elections have been rigged. The only question is the degree of rigging.🤷🏿♂️ Eg, there has never been a single presidential election in US history where it was as easy to vote for a Black US citizen as for a white one. Not one. And like I said, Chuck Schumer can't save you from what's coming.

Absolutely! Also turned MPX into a gay disease ala AIDS.
The massive fucking insult that the libs are just acting like public health is dead now because CDC people are fired. No! Public health was dying when they let HIV run rampant because it was supposedly just killing gay people and completely died by spreading Covid to help capitalism.
Asymptomatic infections have been a prime driver of Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic, probably accounting for most cases, resulting in continual spread and leaving millions of people completely unaware of the grievous harm that is happening within their bodies.
JustAnotherRando (@justarandoontheweb.bsky.social) reply parent
IMHO, it's the vast majority of the cases now. As the virus becomes more evasive, it doesn't show up via symptoms, it takes over your body without a fight. Until the damage shows up and reality hits: strokes, pneumonia, heart attacks, brain damage, etc.

Hi there. It's me again, the doofus who just said I'm not a political commentator and just wants to talk about videosgame and horror movies, I'm here to talk to you about a politic. If you don't want homeless people? Home them. Destroying their belongings and displacing them only makes it worse.
I don't understand the illogic of masking in a public setting "most of the time." Covid doesn't care about intentions or how "good" we are. This is not a game, and there is no bargaining with a virus. If you wear a mask, WEAR the mask.
It should be abundantly clear by now that Trump is waging war on US institutions, which is one of the reasons why liberals are so opposed to him. More than anything else, they trust the system and have blind faith in established authority. Despite how broken the CDC was, RFK is making things worse.

Like storm waves crashing against the shore, repeated COVID infections erode your health. Whether you’re made of granite or sandstone or silty clay, the virus breaks you down and sweeps you away, bit by bit. You don’t become stronger by weathering the storm again and again. You fade away. 😄😊😐🫥⚪️
1/ I don’t know how to say this without sounding harsh, but I need you to hear it. COVID — or SARS-2 — is not “just another cold.” It doesn’t leave you the same. Every reinfection stacks damage: brain, heart, immune system.
You’re not immune from disability. You’re not immune from chronic illness. You’re not immune from homelessness. People always believe they’ll be the exception. That the bad thing won’t happen to them. That we aren’t trying hard enough. It’s not true. It can happen to anyone.

Actually we could probably make tons of airborne viruses extinct including measles, flus, etc. Yes even with animal reservoirs. COVID is the hardest, given how transmissible it is, but it needs hosts to transmit/mutate. So even it will go extinct.
Again, it is possible to eliminate Covid for good. People need to wear a good airtight respirator, like the one in my photo, for a few weeks whenever they're in public. I have been doing so nonstop for years because the vast majority of folks love destroying their bodies by masklessness.

*sees Newsom putting homeless people into a Saw trap* "Finally, someone standing up to Trump!"
The vast majority of people chose, repeatedly, to simply believe someone else would take care of preventing fascism for them, even while myself and other policy organizers screamed ourselves hoarse and homeless that the work to prevent this needed every possible hand to help.
The fact that I have to spell this out for grown adults is indicative of how many people are still clinging to comforting denialism of the realities of fascism. You cannot vote your way out of fascism, and you would know that if you studied political theory or antifascism. You should have studied.
It is jaw droppingly naïve at this point to honestly believe that the authoritarian regime currently using masked, plainclothes agents to kidnap people into concentration camps and deport them into slavery, and who is currently occupying the capital, will allow you to vote them out of power.
And now that it is too late to prevent fascism, now that it is too late to vote our way out, those who chose the comfort of political disengagement are screeching at myself and other policy organizers that we "aren't trying to save democracy". Democracy is dead. There is no more time to waste on it

Manua Loa went over 430. I don't know if you know that it's rising daily. You will not see these levels again.
"No one is saying that we need to wear respirator masks everywhere." "No one is saying that we need to have lockdowns." "No one is saying that we must always avoid infection." "No is saying that we must actually bring Covid-19 under control." The road to doom is paved with compromise.
A conversation with a colleague: “I probably have Covid, but it’s not too bad this time. Thankfully Covid isn’t as dangerous anymore.” I asked when it became less dangerous. “Three years ago, when they removed the restrictions. They knew it had turned mild otherwise they wouldn’t have done it.”
Your colleague's body is being completely wrecked and the only reason why the acute infection seems "milder", other than the placebo effect, is they have destroyed their T-cells. So Covid is doing as much or more damage but the acute symptoms aren't there do much. The chronic symptoms will be BAD.
I know why, JD. It’s because in 1967, Governor Ronald Reagan abolished involuntary commitment of people with mental illness — then in 1981, President Ronald Reagan repealed the Mental Health Systems Act, shuttering federal mental health centers. People with nowhere to go have nowhere to go.

First of all outdoor CO2 is already over 430 and rising. There's no ventilation system that exists today that can lower the CO2 to that level indoors with occupancy. It doesn't address near field transmission. It's just one tool among many. And you're forgetting the first one: a respirator.
