This article INFURIATED me last night & decided to read it again this AM like an idiot
🧘🏻‍♀️🪡📚📓

Caitlin Rivers is dumb af do not care what her credentials are (assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering at the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health)

Rivers said she’s not wearing a mask out in public because cases are still so low, but if the numbers tick up, she would.
“But if I’m traveling on an ✈️or I’m getting on the metro, I would definitely want my mask on,”

Heard my neighbor say the same last week in elevator🙄

#omicron has an amazing PR agent

My building neighbor is lovely & prob my favorite person here altho don’t really know her well

She used to have all dark brown hair but it’s entirely gray now. Used to run into her on my early AM trips to grocery since she’s an avid runner

She masked for a long time altho her spouse & child stopped awhile back

She had come from jury duty where she was the only person in entire #NYC court😷

#sarscov2 #airborne #novavax can’t be explained in an #elevatorPitch & msm news like #CNN are at fault

Even IF people wanted to do the right thing, the entire world including these shoddy scientist/Drs/“experts” featured in the “news” are all actively hiding the dangers of #viralPersistence

People irl all think my caution is b/c I don’t want a stupid cold… puhlease. Colds are an annoyance but totally handleable. #stroke #ckd #heartProblems #dementia #alzheimers not so much

@Lorrrraaaaine

Rivers said she's not wearing a mask out in public where she could catch covid, but if you could catch covid in public more than before, she would.
"But if I'm traveling on a type of transportation where I could catch covid, or I'm getting on another type of transportation where I could catch covid, I would definitely want my mask on."

Yes that really makes a lot of sense.

@begrudging_recluse
hearing something very similar from my building neighbor couple weeks ago as she stood🚫😷trying to explain her reasoning as I stood there in a😷holding a HEPA 1 inch from my face…made me realize how🔩we are as a society & felt sad

Reading it in an article on #CNN consumed by millions…well that just ..🤬🤬🤬!

Can’t explain things very well to begin w/ but the 100s of #CovidPapers I’ve read, seared into my brain

It’s like de-cultifying someone; takes extreme⏱️& effort I don’t have
