Covid’s acute phase kills, but it’s the aftermath that destroys futures. LC is organ damage, vascular damage, cognitive decline. That doesn’t heal in 7–10 days.

Flu rarely leaves kids disabled. Covid can wreck their nervous system, gut, and immune function for years. Stop pretending it’s the same.

There is no cure. No proven long-term treatment. No “just bounce back.” Families are left scrambling while society shrugs. It’s extremely rare to fully recover from Long Covid.

This is preventable. Masks work. Filters work. Vaccines help. Pretending kids are “resilient” is a lie that costs lives. Don’t measure risk from your family’s survivor bias. You haven’t experienced it… YET. I haven’t seen Europe yet either. But I know where it is & I’ve read about it.

Most adults only get flu once a decade. With Covid, people are getting reinfected yearly — sometimes 2–3× a year. Do you see how easy it is to destroy your life? Your kids’ brains? Their future? Your own capacity to take care of them?

Do you really need to show off your smile to sacrifice your life as you know it? Not me. I prefer to keep my brain cells, mitochondria, blood vesicles, testicles, & T cells intact. If you don’t know WTF I am talking about, maybe read some science and pay attention.

I like the way my brain works. I like the unconscious problem solving, the categorization, connecting and sorting random facts. My business depends on my ability to think on my feet. I mask daily to keep those skills intact.

We still mask in my family. I don’t care what others think I am not risking my health. 😷

Maybe you can talk to my Covid denial brother who wants "mask-free" family gatherings to see my smile. Have not attended a gathering in over 2 years because of this.

I was just thinking/wondering (in a kind of rage) whether the people in Congress & Senate under age 65 are going to have complete, unfettered access to the new Covid vaccination this, unlike the rest of us.

Of course they are :( Remember when Biden declared the pandemic over yet people were still required to mask around him and rest before coming to the White House or meeting with him? It's so awful how they've created different levels of who deserve medical care. But I realise this isn't new...
