By adopting Trump's anti-mask attitude to give the illusion of "Covid no longer disrupting our lives," Democrats have forced themselves to engage in superspreader events during the current Covid wave, or risk being seen as weirdos due the stigma they created around masking. 1/18
Biden is still sidelined with covid and it appears not a single person at the crowded campaign headquarters is wearing a mask. Not like they have any important activities in coming days that they wouldn't want to miss due to illness.

CDC says to not count hospital patients with Covid or follow-on disease due to Covid infections unless they are being treated with one specific antiviral (of many) or one very powerful anti-inflamatory med. This is causing extreme undercounts of hospitalized Covid patients. A 🧵:
Some U.S. states are changing the definition of a COVID patient, which is causing a large drop in the number of patients. One of those states is New Hampshire, where the health department is counting only 4% of COVID patients 1/3

When Biden took over we had local mask mandates, & he promised national mandates. Then he gutted mask mandates to block OSHA regulations requiring them at work. So we got "personal risk assessments" and one-way masking. Then they removed the data. Now, states are outlawing masks.
On Jan 4, 2024, when asked about masks, Joe Biden’s White House said it’s up to local cities & states and not something they get involved in.
Today, North Carolina made public mask wearing for health reasons, a CLASS 1 Misdemeanor.
This Administration has ruined Public Health.

About 26 million uninsured ppl will lose access to free Covid vaccinations this summer, just before the updated vaccine is released. Of those, about 5 million will be out of luck because Biden ended the Covid emergency declarations, resulting in them being dropped from Medicaid.
