New zine that's free for anyone to print and distribute! Read the whole thing at newlevant.com/COVIDzine or in the rest of this post.
UPDATE 4/11/2023:
I swapped out the colloidal silver nasal spray info for xylitol nasal spray info. I originally included colloidal silver spray because of the linked study and recommendation from RTHM, but I don't want to be pointing people toward something with notable health risks. Xylitol spray (Xlear) is also cheaper and more widely available!

i think we should always take predominant sexes and races for psychiatric disabilities into question.
are men really more likely to be antisocial or narcissistic, or are women just overlooked because ASPD/NPD are seen as too "aggressive" for them?
are women really more likely to be borderline or histrionic, or are they just seen as so "hysterical" that they have to be feminine?
are black people more likely to have schizophrenia or ODD, or are labels of "psychosis" and "defiance" simply used to further dismiss, oppress, and imprison BIPOC?
are white people more likely to have autism and ADHD, or are doctors just more willing to accept that white children are disabled and not just "bad?"
oppressive biases are everywhere in psychiatry. never take psychiatric demographics at face value.

Gene di Neanderthal causa dei contagi nella Bergamasca
Covid in Val Seriana favorito dai geni di Neanderthal. Studio dell'Istituto Mario Negri pubblicato su 'iScience'. I geni ereditati dall'antenato uomo di Neanderthal hanno giocato un ruolo rilevante nel determinare la strage a causa del Covid-19 che ha segnato la Val Seriana nella Bergamasca, con migliaia di vittime. Uno studio dell'Istituto Mario Negri getta infatti una nuova luce sulle cause dell'alto tasso di mortalità registrato in quelle zone, attribuendo un peso decisivo proprio alla predisposizione genetica della popolazione. Un passo avanti importante nelle conoscenze scientifiche sul virus SarsCoV2 che arriva mentre ci si prepara alla nuova campagna vaccinale, con i vaccini aggiornati che saranno offerti gratuitamente a tutti coloro che vorranno effettuare la somministrazione. Dallo studio Origin, pubblicato sulla rivista iScience, si evince che una certa regione del genoma umano si associava in modo significativo col rischio di ammalarsi di Covid e di ammalarsi in forma grave nei residenti delle aree della Bergamasca più colpite dalla pandemia durante la prima ondata. "La cosa sensazionale - ha sottolineato Giuseppe Remuzzi, direttore dell'Istituto - è che 3 dei 6 geni che si associano a questo rischio sono arrivati alla popolazione moderna dai Neanderthal, in particolare dal genoma di Vindija che risale a 50 mila anni fa. Una volta forse proteggeva i Neanderthal dalle infezioni, adesso causa un eccesso di risposta immune che non solo non ci protegge ma ci espone a una malattia più severa". Le vittime del cromosoma di Neanderthal nel mondo, ha aggiunto, "sono forse un milione e potrebbero essere proprio quelle che, in assenza di altre cause, muoiono per una predisposizione genetica". Allo studio hanno aderito 9.733 persone di Bergamo e provincia che hanno compilato un questionario. I risultati della ricerca, ha commentato il presidente della Regione Lombardia Attilio Fontana, "danno una risposta a uno dei quesiti che chiunque di noi si è posto: perché alcuni contraggono il virus in modo asintomatico e altri in forma grave?". Ai progressi della scienza, si affianca la macchina organizzativa che vede al lavoro ministero della Salute e Regioni in vista della prossima campagna vaccinale anti-Covid - che quest'anno sarà concomitante a quella antinìfluenzale - che partirà dagli inizi di ottobre. I nuovi vaccini aggiornati contro la sottovariante Xbb di Omicron, attualmente dominante, arriveranno in Italia entro una quindicina di giorni, ha confermato il ministro della Salute Orazio Schillaci. E proprio oggi l'Agenzia europea dei medicinali Ema ha dato il via libera anche al vaccino aggiornato di Moderna, dopo aver dato disco verde nei giorni scorsi a quello di Pfizer-BioNTech, poi autorizzato anche dall'Agenzia italiana del farmaco Aifa. Ma proprio l'accesso ai nuovi vaccini è stato per qualche ora oggetto di polemica, non risultando chiaro se le nuove dosi potessero essere offerte gratuitamente a tutti. In serata, dal Tg1 delle ore 20.00, lo stesso Schillaci ha però chiarito che il vaccino aggiornato sarà gratuito per tutti coloro che vorranno effettuare la somministrazione, e non soltanto per le categorie più a rischio alle quali la vaccinazione è raccomandata nell'ultima circolare ministeriale del 14 agosto, ovvero over60, soggetti fragili, donne incinte e operatori sanitari. Intanto, guardia alta anche sul fronte della scuola: al ministero dell'Istruzione e del Merito si è tenuto oggi un incontro per discutere, con i sindacati della scuola, l'evolversi della situazione epidemiologica ed il ministero monitora con attenzione. Il ministro Schillaci, dal canto suo, rassicura: "Siamo molto tranquilli, stiamo lavorando con il ministero dell'Istruzione per tranquillizzare tutti. C'è stato - commenta - un allarmismo forse esagerato su questo argomento". Una raccomandazione arriva dalla direttrice del Centro europeo per la prevenzione e il controllo delle malattie Andrea Ammon: "Le infezioni da Covid aumentano in Europa, ma per ora la situazione non è neanche lontanamente paragonabile a ciò che abbiamo visto negli anni. Quindi la cosa più immediata da fare è stabilire un monitoraggio rafforzato e congiunto di Covid, influenza e virus sinciziale respiratorio". Immagini dell 'emergenza Bergamasca Read the full article

That last tweet sums it up perfectly: “They realize COVID isn’t over. But while they may not take precautions to protect your health, they will to protect their money.”
Pretending that COVID is over is one of the worst things our government has done to us, but COVID isn’t over. It’s not even close to being over. If it were, insurance companies and big businesses wouldn’t be going through such extreme measures to protect themselves against coronavirus-related lawsuits. And you just know if a case went all the way up, this illegitimate, morally bankrupt & corrupt Supreme Court would rule in favor of big business having no responsibility to protect their customers.
In our ass backwards society, antivaxxers and anti-maskers practically can’t be barred from going everywhere they want, and businesses probably won’t be held liable for conditions that expose people to dangerous diseases (and the antivaxxers who love spreading diseases).
Anyway, I got all my scheduled vaccines and I still mask up in public. 😷

TRYING AGAIN WITH CLEARER WORDING. PLS READ BEFORE VOTING
*Meaning: When did you stop wearing a mask to a majority of your public activities? Wearing a mask when you feel sick or very rarely for specific events/reasons counts as “stopping”
[More Questions Here]

"he just wants to race!" "he doesn't pay attention to the world around him, he probably doesn't even know politics is something that exists!" "he was told to do this/say this" i dont know how to break it to you but saying that your favourite guy has the spine, brain and agency of a jellyfish is not the grand justification you think it is.
#anti norris#like come on#same energy exact same energy as that person who defended drivers going on holiday during covid lockdowns#“those people are allowed to not care because they're rich”

The deeply moralist tone that a lot of discussions about media representation take on here are primarily neoliberal before they are anything else. Like the shouting matches people get into about “purity culture” “pro/anti” etc nonsense (even if I think it’s true that some people have a deeply christian worldview about what art ought to say and represent about the world) are downstream of the basic neoliberal assumption that we can and must educate the public by being consumers in a market. “Bad representation” is often framed as a writer’s/developer’s/director’s/etc’s failure to properly educate their audience, or to educate them the wrong way with bad information about the world (which will compel their audience to act, behave, internalise or otherwise believe these bad representations about some social issue). Likewise, to “consume” or give money to a piece of media with Bad Representation is to legitimate and make stronger these bad representations in the world, an act which will cause more people to believe or internalise bad things about themselves or other people. And at the heart of both of those claims is, again, the assumption that mass public education should be undertaken by artists in a private market, who are responsible for creating moral fables and political allegories that they will instil in their audiences by selling it to them. These conversations often become pure nonsense if you don’t accept that the moral and political education of the world should be directed by like, studio executives or tv actors or authors on twitter. There is no horizon of possibility being imagined beyond purchasing, as an individual consumer in a market, your way into good beliefs about the world, instilled in you by Media Product
#just saw a very stupid post. but I will endure#these discussions also remind me of anti-vaxxer discourse#which in North America for Covid is framed as simply wanting to make the best informed choice as a consumer in a market*#ideas about public goods or civic responsibility towards others are incompatible with this consumer-citizen view of the world#like legitimately the idea of the consumer as the base civic unit of north american society is catastrophic for public health#and produces these interminable discourses about ‘media consumption’#which itself is a neoliberal framing! I think ‘media’ as a catchall term is neoliberal because it links all art with the commonality of#being a good sold in a market#*outside of outright fascist anti-vax beliefs I should say. Although from my research so far these things seem to overlap heavily lol#which is not surprising but the distinction is worth teasing out#.txt

It’s that time of year! 🌈
Updated COVID vaccines are mostly for preventing severe acute illness, but it modestly reduces your chances of getting COVID at all! (54% less symptomatic illness in the following 4 months, in this recent MMWR report.) Best paired with a respirator! People who always wore N95 masks in indoor public settings had *83%* reduced risk of testing positive for COVID, in this 2022 MMWR report.
More info in this zine I made: What's Up With COVID and How to Protect Yourself: 2024 Edition.

Yes, it was totally the vaccine.
Not the fact he has, by his own acknowledgment, spent most of his life abusing steroids and smoking cigars. And his family has a history of heart problems.
ffs.

Y’know, I’ve never once been harassed for wearing a mask in public. And I don’t live in some liberal utopia where most people are still masking - I live in a purple-leaning-red suburb in a red-leaning state where I’m often the only person wearing a mask in whatever building I’m in. But nobody even looks at me funny. I certainly believe people who have been harassed, but I wonder how widespread it actually is. So here is a poll:
If you want, put your answer and country/state in the tags.
