You're right that #covid isn't like other flus/colds. You're wrong that covid isn't still killing people left & right anymore. It still is #killing people left & right, as well as #disabling a large amount of people who become infected more than once. The problem is governments aren't providing the public with any accurate reports, have stopped funding proper tracking methodology of both infections & covid related deaths, have misled public & conned people into cognitive dissonance/normalizing #eugenics #publichealth policies.

I work in #healthcare. I'm in multiple hospitals, long term care homes, private assisted living homes & multiple medical clinics for my contract work. People are still dying from covid & other illnesses that are triggered/re-triggered from covid infections. Governments are still lying to everyone about it all - while countless people with covid, #longcovid plus those with zero covid & at high risk due to compromised #immunology are dehumanized/devalued by government & treated like crap by ignorant general public.

Normalizing/ignoring covid will only lead to multiple #medical #crisis points & will end up collapsing already overstrained public health care systems. No stable economy either, when more people are becoming #disabled from long covid & unable to work/be limited with work.

“…details vary by context, but poli scientist Elizabeth David-Barrett lays out 3 general mechanisms of #StateCapture. They now sound familiar:shaping the rules of the game thru #law & #policy; #influencing admin decisions by capturing the #budget, appts, govt #contracts & #regulatory decisions;& #disabling checks on #power by #dismantling #accountability structures like the #judiciary, law enforcement & prosecution, & audit institutions like #IGs & #media.”

#TerribleTake, but I am starting to realize that curating a satisfying cultural and #intellectual life may be so absorbing that it is #disabling. So easy to distract yourself or use up your mental energy non-productively.

The perils of #LivingYourBestLife? Ugh?

I LOVE #mastodon, but it can sure fool you, like all #SocialMedia, into thinking you are doing something.

Is it crazy to consider asking for a primary care doctor that’s #neurodivergent? Having to constantly get it up emotionally for allistics is exhausting, and frankly distracts from my actual care. Further, I don’t think they understand that, when I raise concerns about trust and transparency, that being dismissive and not addressing concerns diminishes trust. They just don’t hear me and then wonder why I avoid them.
