No but seriously the United States desperately needs to have a discussion about segregation against the disabled in our school systems and we can start with how anti-masking and perfect attendance policies have forced medically vulnerable kids to either put themselves at grievous risk or pull out of school all together

Help keep COVID-19 vaccines free in the United States!
The People's CDC has created a template for sending a letter to Congress about extending the Bridge Access Program, which has been providing free COVID vaccines to uninsured people in the United States. As of time time of this posting (July 19, 2024), the Bridge Access Program will be ending next month.
My family needs the Bridge Access Program! It is the ONLY way for poor households like mine to access COVID vaccines. If this program goes away, a lot of people like my family are going to have even less access to the outside world.
My family has already had difficulty utilizing the Bridge Access Program for our updated boosters, because many vaccination locations are preemptively (and suspiciously) claiming they can't offer the vaccines for free. We tried three different locations for our most recent booster, and we still haven't been able to get it, even though the Bridge Access Program is supposed to still be in effect. We keep getting told there are "none available through the program" by pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens (who will only let us get them if we pay full price for some reason?), and the current wait for an appointment at the sliding-scale clinic is longer than the remainder of the Bridge Access Program. By the time I get in, it won't be free anymore, unless Congress is convinced to extend the program.
Vaccine access cannot be allowed to be taken from us like this. Lack of updated vaccines is why I can barely leave the house.
COVID hasn't gone away, vaccine boosters are vital, and I'm asking US residents to fill out and submit the form. It's a small way to help, but the People's CDC has had success with these campaigns in the past. I choose to cling to what slivers of hope I can right now.

Things I've learned from getting covid for the first time in 2023
I wear an N95 in public spaces and I've managed to dodge it for a long time, but I finally got covid for the first time (to my knowledge) in mid-late November 2023. It was a weird experience especially because I feel like it used to be something everyone was talking about and sharing info on, so getting it for the first time now (when people generally seem averse to talking about covid) I found I needed to seek out a lot of info because I wasn't sure what to do. I put so much effort into prevention, I knew less about what to do when you have it. I'm experiencing a rebound right now so I'm currently isolating. So, I'm making a post in the hopes that if you get covid (it's pretty goddamn hard to avoid right now) this info will be helpful for you. It's a couple things I already knew and several things I learned. One part of it is based on my experience in Minnesota but some other states may have similar programs.
--------
The World Health Organization states you should isolate for 10 days from first having symptoms plus 3 days after the end of symptoms.
--------
At the time of my writing this post, in Minnesota, we have a test to treat program where you can call, report the result of your rapid test (no photo necessary) and be prescribed paxlovid over the phone to pick up from your pharmacy or have delivered to you. It is free and you do not need to have insurance. I found it by googling "Minnesota Test to Treat Covid"
--------
Paxlovid decreases the risk of hospitalization and death, but it's also been shown to decrease the risk of Long Covid. Long Covid can occur even from mild or asymptomatic infections.
--------
Covid rebound commonly occurs 2-8 days after apparent recovery. While many people associate Paxlovid with covid rebound, researchers say there is no strong evidence that Paxlovid causes covid rebound, and rebounds occur in infections that were not treated with Paxlovid as well. I knew rebounds could happen but did not know it could take 8 days. I had mine on day 7 and was completely surprised by it.
--------
If you start experiencing new symptoms or test positive again, the CDC states that you should start your isolation period again at day zero. Covid rebound is still contagious. Personally I'd suggest wearing a high quality respirator around folks for an additional 8-9 days after you start to test negative in case of a rebound.
--------
Positive results on a rapid test can be very faint, but even a very faint line is positive result. Make sure to look at your rapid test result under strong lighting. Also, false negatives are not uncommon. If you have symptoms but test negative taking multiple tests and trying different brands if you have them are not bad ideas. My ihealth tests picked up my covid, my binax now tests did not.
--------
EDIT: I'd highly suggest spending time with friends online if you can, I previously had a link to the NAMI warmline directory in this post but I've since been informed that NAMI is very much funded by pharmaceutical companies and lobbies for policies that take autonomy away from disabled folks, so I've taken that off of here! Sorry, I had no idea, the People's CDC listed them as a resource so I just assumed they were legit! Feel free to reply/reblog this with other warmlines/support resources if you know of them! And please reblog this version!
--------
I know that there is so much we can't control as individuals right now, and that's frightening. All we can do is try our best to reduce harm and to care for each other. I hope this info will be able to help folks.
#covid#covid 19#harm reduction#apparently only 16% of Americans even got their booster#it's wild out there#which makes sense because our public health messaging has been super unhelpful and intentionally shifted the burden#of infection control onto individuals to avoid us holding them accountable because it's politically and economically inconvenient to them

The Pentagon ran an anti-vax psyop in the Philippines at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic
Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China (usatoday.com)
Please read this article. It makes me sick.
TLDR: The US is directly responsible for the over 60,000 people who have died from COVID-19 in the Philippines since the summer of 2020. The pentagon made at least 300 fake social media accounts on twitter targeted at making Filipinos believe that the Chinese-made Sinovac vaccine was dangerous. The Sinovac vaccine came out before any US-made vaccine and was widely available in the region before the smear campaign started. They used lies that the vaccine contained pork gelatin (which is considered haram to Muslims—Islam is the second largest religion in the Philippines). Their aim was to harm China's reputation and to sell more American-made vaccines in the developing world for high prices.
#philippines#islam#covid 19#covid#us politics#usa#disinformation#vaccines#are we surprised#the article also said that technically the pentagon is not allowed to use psyops against US citizens#but i wouldn't be surprised if they did tbh considering how fast and heavy everyone came swinging with the antivax stuff#news

This is California
Trump didn’t just win in every swing state, but he also atomized decades of Democrat apparatus-building.

don’t understand how anyone with a curious bone in their body doesn’t get why banning any sort of face covering outright is fascism but that seems to be where we’re at right now. the reason we were all ‘forced’ into our homes (and i know for a fact many of us here in the states never actually stayed at home the entire time early into the pandemic so stop lying) was because there was and and still is a massive disabling disease running rampant and killing people! people died! and people are still dying to this day!! statistically right now 1 in 40 US Americans has COVID! you continue to spread it by walking around unmasked! It’s one thing to sit here and say you don’t want to wear a mask. Perfectly fine by me at this point. Drink up the toxic air filled with a bsl-3 pathogen, micro plastics, wildfire smoke, and lord knows what else. I don’t care anymore but coming on here and claiming that you were forced when there were people at the start of the pandemic refusing to mask is absolutely ludicrous. Just say you don’t care about your health and the health of anyone else around you and be quiet. These mask bans are about the student protestors for Palestine, DRC, now Lebanon and many other parts of the world where contradictions are at an all time high. These mask bans are about using ai to track us better and to carry out violence on people of color, especially black bodies. These mask bans are about disabled people as many people in my previous post have mentioned and how the state wants to cull as many undesirables as possible. This isn’t about you. This is about the future and the world we want to live in.

Almost twice as many people died from COVID-19 in 2021 than all unintentional accidents. COVID-19 is the third leading cause of death. COVID rates are on the rise.
The least you can do is wear a mask.

"I'm not sure how to help the people around me."
I understand. I don't either. But I think one small way we can help those around us is to start masking again. And I say this as someone who never stopped masking, and someone who doesn't seek to shame others who have stopped. That avenue of discussion isn't productive. But you can start again. If you stopped, this is your guilt-free pass to start again, this is your break-away from a sunk-cost fallacy of having stopped. You don't need to justify wearing a mask again if you stopped before. If someone gives you the side-eye for wearing a mask you can ignore them, or tell them to fuck off, or tell them it's because it keeps your face warm during the winter. Their opinion doesn't matter. You can start now. One small and easy thing you can do for others at this time, even as soon as today, is to start wearing a mask again. Thank you for reading.

jokes about Biden getting COVID and possibly dying are funny to the extent that if anyone should die from COVID it should be the person who has minimized it and contributed to over 1million deaths in the US from COVID alone and countless more abroad (and of course let's not forget about his participation in the ongoing genocide in Palestine as well)
But jokes about Biden getting COVID are not funny to an extent when you realize that everyone making jokes about him dying from COVID are in fact cognizant of the true reality that COVID is deadly, especially to vulnerable people
And likely a majority of these same people laughing at these jokes are not wearing masks or mitigating the spread of COVID themselves and are not protecting vulnerable people, or have yet to realize that they too can become one of the vulnerable people (or may already be so) "left to the wayside" of this ongoing pandemic
