You’ll cover your eyes ears to avoid reality. But you won’t cover your nose mouth to face reality. 👌☑️

Arguing that ppl shouldn’t bother to protect others via masking because the eugenism and Covid neglect is a systemic issue (which it is) is a way of denying our agency. We can each make choices that would make a material difference in other people’s lives, despite the system.

It’s systems AND individuals. Masking protects the masses from death-dealing systems. Eg. You’d never argue ppl shouldn’t wear condoms bc HIV is a systemic issue. Makes no sense to collapse your approach to systemic harm VS. individual responsibility. It’s both.

You may not always see what someone is carrying. Many people living with Long Covid are navigating chronic symptoms, disability, pain, and autoimmune complications while trying to carry on with everyday life. This is what Long Covid looks like for me.

I don't often talk about living w/ Long Covid. For me, it hasn't been something that ended when the infection did. It left me w/ permanent damage, ongoing complications with autoimmune disorders, a loss of sense of smell & a body that now reacts in ways it never did before.

We absolutely knew #LongCovid was happening in 2020. It's disgraceful so many of us have not been provided the support we need, the trials we need, the treatments we need

I'm hospitalized currently for Long COVID induced Heart failure and severe microvascular disease. This week, Doctors exposed me to a tuberculosis patient for 3 days without warning me, after I told them that my doctors warned me that even the mildest infection could kill me in my current state. doctors also refused to treat my ear infection for 5 days and it spread. now I'm in the most pain I've ever felt. I have taken so many different pain killers but nothing helps.

LA Times: 'What COVID is teaching doctors about the relationship between viruses and cancer' 'The rapid increase in patients suffering from long COVID supercharged research on post-viral syndromes — the complex collection of lingering symptoms...' latimes.com/science/story/20…

No other disease has been referred to as "post" unless it was eradicated via vaccination over an extended period of time. Sounds like a psychological/emotional issue the masses have.

Still masking. It's a safety twofer in my line of work

When you’re chronically ill you experience symptoms daily that would send a healthy person to the hospital. We can’t go to the hospital every time something hurts. If we did, we would live there. That’s life with chronic illness. You adjust to constant suffering.

Wayne Coyne has been hospitalized with pneumonia and Flaming Lips canceled their Vienna show :( We have to do better, folks :(

This year has been kicking my ass so far, and while I have been waiting for the tide to turn and things to get easier, one thing that keeps me going is the pride I feel for not giving in to what I know to be untrue. I have been denied employment, housing, and pushed to the brink of financial ruin because I refuse to shut up, and I refuse to go along with the narrative that things are okay, and that Covid and the damage it is causing is acceptable. I have been labeled a "crazy", told I was a fear monger, called a liar, ostracized, and treated like I am a bad person for wanting people to be safe and healthy, and during this journey I have used the adversity to fuel me, instead of letting it bury me. Some days/weeks have been very difficult, and worse than others, and if bad luck was an olympic sport I would be a gold medalist, but I find ways to find the positives and something to look forward to. I have been doing every single thing in my power to scrape by, to stay in the fight, and to keep sharing the message that I feel has to be shared, and in the process, I have thrown out ego, abandoned the all sense of shame, and detached from anything that would dissuade me continuing to care, and more importantly to show it. Help has come along the way, and I have had some really great people support my efforts, and show me that they value the message and the way that I share it, and this too has led me to find reasons to push on and stay consistent. For those who have helped me along the way, in any way, I am grateful beyond description. I wish there was no need for a guy like me, I wish there was nothing out there harming people, and I wish I could never hear the word Covid again, but we aren't there yet. Until the time comes when the experts tell me that our kids are safe, and there is no need for me and my advocate friends, I have to keep pushing, and doing everything I can to stay in the game. Until the time comes I will keep being inspired by the many who push on while dealing with chronic illness, and those who share the correct message regardless of the scrutiny they face. I do not enjoy passing my "virtual hat" around the world, asking for help so that I can help others and stay afloat, but pride has no place in this type of fight and I was never one to back down, even when the odds are against me. 2026 has been kicking my ass so far, so I'm going to do what I always do, tie my shoes tighter, take a deep breath, and start kicking ass back. It can't rain every day right?

Ignore one dangerous virus, and guess what?

Centrist Dems care about issues in a rhetorical/aesthetic sense. When it comes to actually sacrificing something to improve the material conditions of others, they’re reactionaries. The rift between their rhetoric and their actions is vast.

Congrats to @drDavidKeegan appointed to chair Public Health Agency of Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Preventive Health Services. Read @MsJulieSLam’s interview of Dr. Keegan who sees #LongCOVID patients. m.facebook.com/story.php?sto… instagram.com/p/DZh2OENRuhX/…

The orphan illnesses that get crumpled together like waste paper and tossed into the trash bin. Oh, but if you don't get better it's something you are doing wrong, clearly. 🤬

Dear Canada 🇨🇦 This is great news!!! @drDavidKeegan is a great choice to head the new National Advisory Committee on Preventive Health Care 👏👏👏

😷 BREAKING🚨 Canada launches a new National Advisory Committee on Preventive Health Services. It will be chaired by Dr. David Keegan, a leading advocate for masks in healthcare and on airplanes who filed human rights litigation on both fronts.

“I wear a mask because I know too much about the damage COVID and Long COVID do to our immune system and organs. Not wearing a mask would be intentionally inflicting harm on myself and others.”— Patrick Cote @PatTheSocialist, cohost, @PunchUpPod. Interview instagram.com/p/DZbPZNQETi3/…

Hey who remembers when we acknowledged Covid is generating record sepsis and then we pretended it away and now young people die of sepsis in record numbers while media normalizes it?
