On a national basis, #COVID19 risks are at a multi-year low right now. (This isn't true everywhere—for instance, parts of the South have high viral activity at present.)
Nevertheless, I am going to continue to urge you to protect yourself from COVID reinfections. Almost 100 studies have found that each reinfection increases risks for Long COVID and other health issues. COVID is NOT just a cold or flu.
Studies published in the past two months found: 1/4
Compared to getting Long COVID after a first infection, the odds of developing Long COVID are 2.01x greater after a second infection and 3.03x higher after more than three infections. https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/public-health/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2026.1760355/full
Reinfection is among the two greatest risk factors for fatigue, second only to having a tumor. People reinfected had 2.39x the risk of chronic fatigue. https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/16/4/e113446

The two greatest risk factors for psychoemotional issues after COVID were age (over 50) and repeated episodes of infection. https://journals.eco-vector.com/2226-6976/article/view/705088
Cumulative exposure to COVID was strongly associated with Invasive Group A Streptococcal infection, a rare but severe and fast-progressing disease, especially in children. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03.19.26348823v1

The three greatest factors for Long COVID were hospitalization during acute COVID infection, duration of illness above the median, and reinfections. https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202603.1045
Although the frequency of acute symptoms in COVID-19 patients experiencing a secondary SARSCoV-2 infection was lower than during their initial infection, individuals who experienced multiple infections had a heightened likelihood of suffering more long COVID symptoms with increased severity. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12890-026-04221-2

It then begs the question, considering the growing proof showing covid's harm, why are Republican billionaires continuing to fund covid disinformation?
Yes, the "wellness" industry has latched on to spread snake oil & scams but why would the fossil fuel industry leap on the fraudster bandwagon for 6 years?!?
Thwarting climate science.
Covid denial, election denial, and climate denial go hand in hand.

@Npars01 @augieray Quite simply:
THEY WANT US DEAD.
Our death is not collateral damage from #plutocratic crime.
It is the goal.
They don't want to share the world with us.
One item in the Project 2025 manifesto advocated for global depopulation.
"Lower the world's population and then we don't need to phase out fossil fuels."
That's what Trump’s fossil fuel billionaires believe.

@Npars01 @augieray Thanks for the documentation!! I know that many find the claim "Death is the goal" incredible, but without understanding that, it’s impossible to gain any genuine overall understanding of the thinking and behavior of #plutocrats.
I wish more people would read "Eichmann in Jerusalem" by Hannah #Arendt. Toward the end of that book, she points out that the need to use the labor of the German working class required the Nazis to limit their #Holocaust to particular groups (Jews, Romani, Slavs, homosexuals, etc.) — and she speculates that in the future, automation might render mass labor unnecessary, and open the possibility of a Holocaust of the vast majority of the human species, regardless of ethnicity. Today's #oligarchs think we're there already, or very soon will be.
In a way, emphasizing the racism of the #plutocracy misses the point, and reinforces the false sense of invulnerability that the Right's white mass base feels. They are seriously kidding themselves if they think their white skin will save them from the fate their #plutocratic masters have in store for them.
An earlier comment of mine on this topic:
@[email protected] "You don't tolerate a fascist for the same reason that you don't tolerate malignant cancer." Indeed you don't. Because THEY WILL KILL YOU IF YOU LET THEM. Already in the 1960s Hannah #Arendt foresaw the rise of a version of fascism that would attempt a #Holocaust aimed not merely at particular ethnicities and lifestyles, but at the entire mass of the people. The original #Nazis knew they needed at least the German working class. Today's #oligarchs think they can automate all the work — as Arendt foresaw. THEY WANT TO KILL US ALL. This is not hyperbole but literal truth. BTW this includes their own #MAGA mass base. All the minions are suckers. #exterminism #DeathWithDeniability
