A tack that many minimizers take is that they live a healthy lifestyle, eat right and exercise, because they want to live a long healthy life. And rejoining society maskless is something they are now doing because of mental wellbeing etc.
I have argued with them (mostly family), that none of that matters if you keep getting COVID. That if they truly wanted to live a long and healthy life, the most important thing they need to do is to avoid infection.

As a #germaphobe #extraodinaire #germCloud I was much more prepared than most for this entire situation but found myself in hospital during the #SARS2 explosion
Btw I rarely #exercise altho I should do. Diet, nutrition, minerals #etc was more my interests & only when my late dad Dx #CKD 4

For many ppl – me included – it was a shock when the pandemic sparked an affinity b/w wellness culture and the far right. The two seemed opposites, what common ground could there be? The truth is wellness & fascism have more than just a modern connection. Settle in for a long🧵

#tbh I fared exceptionally well & it’s probs due to my current hatred of exercise
TBH, I would like to see a study done of sudden deaths after COVID and see if there's a correlation to exercise intensity and time lag of resumption of intense exercise post infection.
My guess is that the couch potatoes win.
@mathew1927 @DocMCohen
Autopsies aren’t looking for such variables? #anecdotes in♠️s tho
Rarely interact irl but always mention🚫🏃🏻♀️🏃immediately after #Covid but since now everyone seems constantly infected..🤷🏻♀️ But before when people cared, they were all shocked to hear #convalesceLikeAVictorian 1880’s

Most are on the #ABC #AnythingButCovid train. I'm not sure anyone is looking for COVID RNA in tissues as a routine thing post mortem.
@meetJess on BirdSite had a whole series of threads on sudden deaths.
@DocMCohen @mathew1927
couldn’t have survived 2022 w/o @meetJess & I wish she were on 
#reinfection shocked hell out of me since I was so careful & it took me nearly 2 yrs to figure out the weak link when I noticed his 80-something mother & daughter despite being bad at #masking never got sick…
Her #curation of #SARS2 articles kept me sane #cognitiveDissonance
Will people be as #livid as I was when they figure it out, or will they not care…
