"Nancy Bolan — who has spent over 25 years saving the lives of mothers and newborn babies — was fired from her health care position at USAID on January 28 as part of Elon Musk's purge at the U.S. Agency for International Development."

The Covid pandemic gave way to rising fascism, just like the pandemics that have come before.
People are scared. Many lost loved ones. Society changed overnight. The loss of control that many felt allowed bad actors to rise up and capitalize on people’s fear.
No matter what our governments say or do, Covid isn’t over. It’s still killing and disabling people.
What’s worse, the pro infection crowd has become so loud and emboldened that vaccine uptake is down, masks are vilified and we’re seeing a resurgence of diseases like measles and tuberculosis.
Despite all the infectious disease threats out there, we still don’t have mandatory masks in healthcare.
The one place people absolutely can’t avoid, the place they should have a reasonable expectation of safety, has become one of the least safe public spaces.
Patients are being infected trying to access basic healthcare, because staff refuse to mask. Refuse to test. Refuse to isolate.
It’s eugenics, and we need people to realize it before it’s too late.
We need mandatory masks in healthcare. We must protect patients AND staff. We must protect even the ones who refuse to protect themselves.

We Need Mandatory Masking in Healthcare, and We Need it Now
Healthcare facilities should set the tone when it comes to masking. They should help patients protect themselves from Covid and other threats. Instead they push droplet dogma and put lives at risk.The Disabled Ginger

After spending years spreading harmful anti-vaxx rhetoric and lies, he’s now tacitly recommending the MMR in the wake of the first child death of measles in a decade.
More outbreaks will continue to happen until people start vaccinating their kids again.
Measles is incredibly contagious, and it’s airborne. The average person goes on to infect approximately 9 others.
The disease was all but eradicated thanks to vaccination, and it’s on the rise again because of people like RFK Jr
The kids need us to protect them. They need the adults to make smart choices.
Also, wear a respirator! It’ll help protect from measles, covid, flu and more.

NYC reports two confirmed cases of measles
The New York City Health Department has confirmed two cases of measles in the city so far this year. The cases are unrelated, according to health officials.…NBC New York
This is quite the about face for a man who’s been spreading harmful anti-vaxx rhetoric for years.
Just a few days ago he was minimizing the outbreak by saying it was “normal” and recommending vitamin A.
What changed? Not going to lie… my initial thought was “it must be really bad if RFK Jr is pushing the vaccine”
Please folks, get your boosters. Wear a mask. Clean the air. Protect your health & the health of those around you.

“He adds measles vaccinations have fallen to about 40 per cent during the pandemic, where before it was 85-90 per cent. He says people aren’t getting the vaccine anymore because of many factors, including “vaccine fatigue”.
Who would have imagined that having to get a series of Covid shots would lead people to give up on vaccines that have saved lives for decades?

A Plea to Maskless Healthcare Workers from Vulnerable Patients
If you see a mask - wear a mask. Better yet - wear a mask all the time and show us you understand that we're still IN a pandemic. We are depending on you to keep us safe - please don't betray that.Broadwaybabyto (The Disabled Ginger)
These are ugly laws. They’re discriminatory & push disabled people further out of society. They increase the likelihood of police harassment. They paint maskers as “bad”.

FIGHT THE TX ANTI-MASK BILL
Overview An anti-mask bill was filed at the Texas state level by Representative Tom Oliverson, who is in Cypress, Texas. Cypress is within the Houston area.Google Docs
"some reports have proposed that windborne spread plays a significant role in IAV [Influenza A Virus] transmission over longer distances under suitable weather conditions.
➡️ In studies of the severe H7N7 HPAI [Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza] outbreak in the Netherlands in 2003, one study claimed that wind spread accounted for 18% and another 24% of transmission events up to 25 km.
➡️ Similarly, during the 2007 equine H3N8 influenza outbreak in Australia, 81% of infections within a cluster of 437 horse farms were attributed to windborne spread over a distance of 1-2 km.
➡️ Around the same time, the serological screening of turkeys in Minnesota in 2007-08 revealed that turkey premises within a 1.9 km radius of swine farms were most likely to test seropositive for H3N2 and H1N1 IAVs, thereby suggesting windborne transmission.
➡️ And during the 2014-15 multistate H5N2 HPAI outbreak in the USA, it was estimated that up to 39% of farms in Iowa alone could have experienced windborne infection within a radius of 8.5 km"

😷 Police are not doctors
😷 Many disabilities are invisible
😷 Disabled people don’t live in a bubble. I need my friends and caregivers to mask to protect me
😷 Everyone should have the right to protect their health, you shouldn’t have to already be sick to be permitted to mask
😷 Criminalizing masks sends a message that maskers are “bad”. It emboldens anti-maskers and increases odds of aggression
The reality is that mask bans are discriminatory, ableist and eugenicist. They push disabled people out of public spaces. They put marginalized and POC at increased risk of police profiling.
There’s no official policy for a medical exemption either, it’s at police discretion.
If you’re stopped and questioned, you will have to prove you’re masking for the “right reasons”
I’m more than willing to admit that if I were stopped by a cop for masking, I would appear nervous, shaky, tachycardic and probably “suspicious”.
Not because I’m doing anything wrong, but because my illnesses do not respond well to stress and the police are stressful.
It’s not right to put the onus on the masker to defend their right to mask. We’re still in a global pandemic. Texas has a measles outbreak. There’s tuberculosis in Kansas. Bird flu is spreading and it’s the worst year for influenza A in over a decade.
Masks are a public health tool. They’re a disability accommodation. They should NOT be criminalized.
For more on mask bans and medical exemptions, I wrote an article on the Nassau County ban here:

If you want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask.
If you want to protect your own health? Wear a mask.
If you recognize that no one is coming to save us? Wear a mask.

Support independent journalists who are doing the same.
With the CDC muzzled we don’t have the line of sight we should on outbreaks and threats to the population
What we do have is alot of doctors and nurses sharing serious concerns about how sick their influenza A patients are
We do have a significant egg shortage because of unmitigated bird flu
We do have measles and TB outbreaks.
The good news? A well fitted respirator can protect you from all these things.
It may be our best and last line of protection as it doesn’t depend on government or public health for accessibility.
Mask up and keep yourself and your community safe!

When the researchers looked at marginal power-plant emissions, the figures jumped to 490 premature deaths and $7.6 billion of total health costs...
By 2030, because of the expected increase in electricity demand for training and running AI models, data center-related air pollution could result in as many as 1,270 premature deaths and 600,000 cases of asthma nationwide on an annual basis, according to the study. All told, the pollution would cause as much as $21.5 billion per year in health-care costs, the researchers said."

In fact masks are banned in North Carolina and Nassau County and more bans are currently on the table.
A good respirator protects from more than just Covid. The people deserve to know how to keep themselves safe.
#uspoli #airborne #publichealth #tuberculosis #covidisairborne #covidisnotover #wearamask #nomaskbans
CDC aren’t permitted to update the public & people are not being advised of the risk or told to wear a mask.
There’s evidence that COVID causes immune system damage which could lead TB to reactivate.
A respirator prevents both Covid and TB.
Given we’re witnessing the dismantling of what was left of public health, there’s no better time to choose to wear a mask
You will protect yourself and your community. You will show much needed solidarity with vulnerable people who’ve never been able to stop masking.
You send a strong signal to the government that you aren’t willing to leave people behind.

➡️ 18 million people still have Long COVID in Brazil! ⬅️
"The last time a person who is not part of [the special priority] groups had a COVID-19 vaccine in Brazil was almost two years ago."
"A significant study published in July 2024, led by Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly, one of the most prominent Long COVID researchers, showed that vaccination reduced the incidence of Long COVID by almost half"
"One of the study’s significant findings is that 65.2 percent of those infected with the novel coronavirus have or have had Long COVID, that is, some 40 million people (18.9 percent of the Brazilian population). Of this total, almost 18 million people still have a series of persistent post-COVID-19 symptoms or complications. According to the study, the most prevalent symptoms among those with Long COVID are memory loss, difficulty concentrating, hair loss, joint pain, anxiety and tiredness."

But don’t snooze on the fact that they’ve made it so if you get funding from the Department of Transportation you can’t have a vaccine or mask mandate.
COVID isn’t over. H5N1 is spreading rapidly and has pandemic potential.
We’ve got RFK Jr poised to take over HHS and do untold amounts of damage to public health.
Yet they’re still coming for masks and vaccines.
Please wear a mask while you still can. Mask to protect your own health and to show solidarity with disabled and marginalized people who’ve been cast aside and treated as expendable for years.
