Just fucking give paxlovid to anyone who asks for it. Make it over the counter. Enough with all these rules and hoops to jump through, jesus christ.

Still thinking about the tweet I read yesterday about a custody battle over Covid protections. Mom wanted to mask, etc. Dad did not, sued and won. Mom had to comply or lose custody. Kids now have brain damage and seizures from Covid infections.

Anecdotally, metformin seems to be giving me some spoons back. This week I: got vaxxed, fixed a tire, went to the dentist and took a shower. If you have long covid you owe it to yourself to try it. If you can’t find a friendly doc then order from overseas or try berberine.

The stories that make me sad are from people who are immune compromised finding out that their spouses were lying to them about using PPE while out and about. How do you come back from that?

The first indicator of my getting mono as a teen was that I could no longer complete my math homework, which I normally enjoyed with the glee of Sheldon Cooper. I remember wondering if I was just stupid now? After said mono I got post viral chronic fatigue that lasted for years

Considering becoming a pro-masking troll. I’ll comment on every picture asking “why aren’t you masked?” Or if they describe their vacation, “masked?” Dunno if it would do any good but the anti-vax trolls seem to get some satisfaction out of it so maybe I can too?

Less dangerous than having covid and not being able to get paxlovid. It’s about harm reduction. The pharmacy can point out potential interactions like they do for every other drug you buy.

The immune system isn’t a muscle needing exercise. It’s an army, with soldiers that can’t be swiftly replaced. The body isn’t a temple, it’s a battlefield. After repeat infections, it looks like Gaza. Worry less about your country’s borders and more about your body’s borders.

A divorced mom tries to keep her kids covid safe. The father says she's insane for doing more than

They can’t face the truth. I had the same thing with someone who reached out to me concerned about my “disturbing posts”. I told her how I was really doing and then radio silence. Guess she didn’t really want to know how I was doing, just wanted me to shut up.

The reason there’s only about 10% of us seeing the pandemic for what it is, is because that’s an optimal cost/benefit ratio, evolutionarily speaking. There’s a cost to being aware, and in normal times the head in the sand crowd comes out better off.

After the Spanish flu rates of admissions to mental hospitals was up 7x for the 6 years following the end of that pandemic. I’d bet it is a combo of PTSD and brain damage, like now.
