Good thing is, no normal people knew what abundance was anyway

Who knows how those rates will change, but 4 a disease that people catch several times a year at worst, the odds aren't great. The only silver lining i see is that at least LC is getting research and drug trials now that'll hopefully also help people like you who've suffered needlessly for decades
Same for me in 2024, and then long covid disabled me to this day
Fully boosted and I got long covid in 2024 and i now have to use a wheelchair in public. Theyre only begining to understand how covid fucks us up beyond the acute infection
i really like (and admire) what he wrote here while being annoyed with some of the protestors
Those of us with Long COVID have been grievously harmed by our government’s failure to implement disease control measures. That same government's denial of COVID's dangers has also created massive stigma around our illness, redoubling that harm. My latest: www.thegauntlet.news/p/long-covid...
good reminder for me to put this one on the hold list
Long term hes gonna be more damaging than trump himself in some ways
I wish i could convey to people how common beleifs like this were in 2000s era mental health graduate programs.
These are the people that paved the way for MAHA. Lots of otherwise smart, educated people that have the audacity to think they know better. The true believers rather than the dupes they manipulate. The people with the privilege to reject medical care
Back in 2012 or so I made a FB post that was pro-vaccine. A week or two later, and old classmate from grad school screamed at me in the New Seasons cafeteria about it, making an ass of himself in the process.
dead eyes, just an empty soul
Theyve overshot here lmao
This seems a doable combo to acquire too
Hes been doing this since 2003 when he was admonishing iraq war protestors. Hes boring and predictable
god shut the fuck up you asshole
A fascinating new preprint w/one very unexpected finding suggests, I believe, that a large proportion of Long Covid may be due to chronic infection in a particular bodily niche, which could be crucial for finding effective LC treatments. It requires some explaining. 🧵 1/33
why is there no west coast bsky
Punching venezuela while looking at mexico
Some fear him, some like him and want him to succeed
Greg wanted more dead and disabled kids
we have to have the courage to tell these people how fucking stupid they are
i need him in a press conference stat
OHSU has produced two MAHA freaks that work for the administration and we've got to start confronting what about Portland and Oregon itself makes it an incubator for MAHA nonsense
explains all his nice vacations this year
Pretty disgusting to see anti-homeless grifter Kevin Dahlgren swoop in on Sisters OR last week to blame the Flat Fire on the homeless. No evidence that it was started by homeless people ofc
they're gonna do real damage, but thank god they're already old
like like she was predicting this huge female wave that didnt materialize or something
whatever happened with the Iowa master pollster predicting that blowout that subsequently retired?
yeah these rumors wont die lol they only get stronger
my go to is that in some coastal OR counties/towns they vote down measures to move critical infrastructure out of tsunami zones
the man who killed more americans than osama bin laden
Perhaps the only way to make them see that their actions have consequences is for their actions to have consequences.
Full circle back to his original homophobia
The rich ppl of multco are saying the trump tax cuts were not enough
Phatter than a 94 land cruiser
Id rather have pritzger as governor as opposed to a newsom or kotek thats for damn sure
ladytron omg thank you for making my evening
The MAHA stuff is common in portland or and it didnt shift right over the past 20 yrs. But they do consistently vote against fluoridation
Theyre using their response to jan 6th as a template
3 months lmao
WOW. not sure how I missed that but holy hell
his voice is different now lol
can you remind us how that process went
yeah he grew up a trash person, he's not in their clique
Its like the DOGE list of banned words
First read that as "plaque" and nearly ran to go brush my teeth
What a horrible little girl dress shes wearing
We spent around $12 to grow $40 worth of tomatoes so far
I will die on this hill: it isn’t hard to say “at the height of the pandemic” or “at the start of COVID” during a podcast interview. Producers, hosts, don’t let your guests say “during COVID” like this thing is over. Correct them. Ask them to say the sentence again. This is your job.
Blood Meridian
Many of them like it and thats why they signed up
My son is telling me about how Dolly Parton visits his preschool
great observation
Hes dying
they're starting so fast because he's dying
if he's talking about jesus for the first time ever we've gotta be gettin there
Yeah and its not like any of these llms are doing careful screening or anything
I was talking to another therapist about this problem and they said "its important not to judge b/c theyre getting a need met and thats a good thing" and i think thats batshit insane
The stars are finally aligning for us
Their calling it the big fat loser ticket
Jesus do you talk to people like this in person?
Fully boosted and now disabled from my 2nd covid infection. So no, not for me
can't blame em
Yes
shocking right? and not really being discussed? I feel like i obsessively look for this stuff and i just randomly came across it
oh that ones the first to go lol look at that margin of victory lmao
Thats insane paxxess ends because a recent study from kaiser showed pax lowered the risk of long covid by 95%. Long covid disabled me and im begging everyone i know to take pax for their next infection
We have to be able to say the 1st gen vaccines got us out of a tough spot, but we need *much* more effective 2nd gen nasal vaccines asap
Vax and relax they said
This is why we get polio, measles, mumps infections over and over again
Its ok to say we need better vaccines. Thank god theyre being researched
i think there's a real reluctance from ppl (not you) to reckon w the fact that something we were told was the way out isnt in the way we were told or thought it would be. I'd be dead w/o the vaccines, but w/ long cvd I'm also desparate for new ones that stamp out transmission or im gonna die anyhow
In case anyone wants to take a time machine back to 2021
yeah it provided a real opening for the MAHA freaks and its gonna be difficult to unring that bell
i think ive spoke w you before on here. maybe a conversation for another day, but why do you think ppl get so mad for pointing out the weaknesses of 1st gen covid vaccines? i dont understand it at all. ive had ppl get irate for suggesting we need better ones. it blows my mind
yeah i mean this is case in point why we need better, more effective vaccines and thank god there are trials happening all over the world to do that
whats wild to me is that when i suggest to ppl that we need better more effective vaccines they get MAD
This is what happens when you suggest we need better, more effective vaccines lol. And im the thick-headed one
we need better vaccines
but it doesnt greatly reduce your chances. Everyone i know is fully boosted, and everyone I know has had at least 2-3 infections at this point. We need better, more effective vaccines stat
yeah I remember in 2021 being told they were 90% effective against infection lol. Like, this was celebrated at the time and now ppl get really mad if you point that out for some reason.
there are lots of vaccines that do prevent infection
I went to pick up Paxlovid for a friend with COVID. Price without insurance is over 1600.00. Price with "Cadillac insurance" over $450.00. People can't afford to try to prevent Long COVID. People can't get sick days and go back to work spreading infection. Rinse and repeat.
Word to the wise. Do everything you can to get paxlovid for your next infection. Lie, do whatever it takes. Do not end up like me
In fact his old blog post from back then was sneering at young protestors. Same tired old chtick that made him a rich, sad man
I swear hes still just mad about having been wrong and called out for having supported the iraq war
This disability's curse is that no one wants to hear that COVID caused it. Instead of avoiding the plague, they avoid talking about it—essentially invalidating your incurable, life-ending* condition. #LongCOVID #MECFS *Life-ending how? By rendering you alive, but utterly unable to live.
And portland about even with Montreal
Ive noticed it on reddit too. Which sucks because i see it claimed often that a lot of people get better at 6 months, but i havent really seen data on that. And ive got a graph that looks a lot like that, just a total collapse in ability :(
Maybe its just anecdotal but ive noticed a number of people, including myself, that really went downhill around the 6 month mark
I heard its gonna be available within the next few weeks again
part of it, some of the time at least, is that they like either trump or a policy. part of it is also fear at this point
Its ok to say "1st gen covid vaccines were important, but we need better vaccines that prevent transmission and infection" This is not difficult
The reality is that there were no design choices made like that. They just ended up being mediocre vaccines and I'll never understand certain liberals reluctance to just admit that, like why is that so difficult? They still cling to the terms of the vax battles of the biden admin. move on!
My fav reddit libs rn are the ones that say the vaccines were "designed" only to prevent severe disease/hospitalization/death, but not infection nor transmission. They get really mad when I ask why it wasn't designed to prevent infection to begin with.
