I spoke to a colleague of mine today who asked me if I had “any plans for the Fall”, and honestly, it took me a second to realize she meant “autumn” and not the collapse of society and civilization 🤣😭
So that’s where I’m at
There are a lot of people led to believe that getting COVID multiple times is equivalent to getting “colds”, that reinfections “boost your immunity”. It’s all false. All of it.
Not only should you avoid any infection, but here’s a quick 🧵 on reinfections
So just for context
Wuhan strain 👉🏼 R0 of 3.3
Delta strain 👉🏼R0 of 5.1
Omicron BA.1 👉🏼R0 of 9.5
BA.2 👉🏼 R0 of approx 13.3
BA.4/5 👉🏼R0 of 18.6
We still don’t know for sure what it is for BA.2.75.
The game has changed, make wise decisions and
#WearAMask
The fact that people would choose the risk of damaging every organ in their body and potentially living with brain damage rather than wearing a mask blows my mind
Astonishing. 😮
Well, I'm one of the ones who told you that exactly this was going to happen, but even I didn't think it would be this quick and this bold.
Measles already being described as a "common winter illness". 🤬
Their flag means death.

Im rarely speechless, and I’m rarely affected to the point of non stop tears, but this dm brought me to that point.
I don’t know what we are doing anymore. I truly don’t
Quick thread 🧵
One my my friends who has worked as a geriatric nurse for years resigned today.
She was still COVID + after 5 days and was asked to come in.
Even with a well fitted respirator, she said she couldn’t have lived with the guilt if she Infected one of her patients
COVID and strokes. By now, evidence is quite clear that SARS-COV-2 can attack all organs of your body, including your brain. This is a reminder that everyone should be doing everything to protect themselves from infection/reinfection
Here’s a quick 🧵
Another day, another cancellation.
This time Lizzo, taking to her Instagram to let her fans know how sick she is ..
How many more are coming out of the Met Gala with the same outcome ?
My friend’s 85 year old grandma was infected by an in-home worker who was there to help her bathe.
The worker was following « policy » and returned to work after 5 days of isolation.
Can someone explain to me WTF we are doing here? Because NONE of this is ok.
Hate to break it to you, but the surges we are seeing right now is literally showing us that masks DO work.
This is the consequence of removing them

We know by now that COVID affects the brain. One Infection can do serious damage, what will happen after multiple infections ?
A quick 🧵 on COVID & Your 🧠
« When a team of doctors, scientists and engineers at Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the University of Cambridge placed an air filtration machine in COVID-19 wards, they found that it removed almost all traces of airborne SARS-CoV-2 »
Clean 👏🏻 the 👏🏻 air
My once healthy and happy flight attendant friend has just resigned from her job that she loved so dearly. Why? Because she now suffers from Long COVID.
She is the 5th one on her team to resign.
Tell me again how mass infecting the population is working out.
I will not be participating in the mass infection plan
I will not put myself or anyone around me at risk of catching this virus
I will not play roulette with my health
I will not allow anyone to bully me
I am keeping my mask and not pretending this is over
COVID will eventually evade Paxlovid, Deborah Birx says
“Right now, we’re just accepting that 270,000 Americans died last year,” she said. “Two-hundred and seventy thousand. We’re going to easily lose over 100,000 this year. That, to me, is not success.”
Just spoke to a friend of mine.
Her daughter’s daycare has a COVID outbreak.
Staff member came to work with “allergy like” symptoms.
She infected all 7 children under 3 years old in her care.
Again, WHAT ARE WE DOING?
One of the first lies the public was led to believe was that COVID didn’t affect our kids. Kids didn’t get sick, kids don’t transmit the virus, kids won’t have lasting effects.
Here’s a quick 🧵 on just how wrong this gaslighting truly was and continues to be
Text from a friend this morning
Her : Hey !!! I’m doing ok. Little guy is sick again, this time with a terrible eye infection. It’s been hard to keep him home so many days
Me : I would definitely test him. Eye infection is a new symptom in kids
Guess what ? POSITIVE.
Wow even mainstream media is finally saying it out loud 👏🏻👏🏻
At the 58 second mark
“We now have evidence that Covid decreases our immune response, making us susceptible to infections”
2 of my early onset Alzheimer’s clients are under 52.
Both contracted COVID 4 months ago, they are now placed and one is completely aphasic.
Prior to their infections they both lived seemingly normal lives.
Tell me again how this doesn’t affect your brain.
A « common cold » doesn’t cause blood clots or strokes
It blows my mind that people feel comfortable removing their mask and potentially inhaling a virus that could shrink your brain
#CovidIsNotOver
We knew COVID, even « mild » COVID could cause clots, heart attacks, strokes, and ultimately death since 2020.
Seeing a lot more cases of clots in the last few weeks.
Here’s a real quick 🧵
Heart attacks on dramatic rise for 25-44 age group
A new study has been published that links the increase in heart attacks amongst adults between the ages of 25 and 44 to COVID-19.

She presented and was amongst how many more at the Golden Globes just a few days ago?
How’s pretending life is normal going ?
#Superspreader
Everyone I know that has caught COVID in the last 2 weeks has been from their children bringing it home from school.
Stop saying schools are safe. Stop saying kids don’t transmit.
To those of you still masking, protecting yourself, and everyone around you, THANK YOU.
It’s becoming incredibly exhausting swimming against the tides, but guess what?
You’re fkn awesome
I still don’t understand how after almost 4 years and millions of dollars, we still have nothing.
No vaccines that stop transmission
No monoclonal antibodies
No antivirals or treatments for LC
No clean air
No updated tests
No plan to stop this
Hearing people complain about the long wait for their passports to go on that « dream vacation » (in the middle of a pandemic) while people are waiting 13 hours in the ER due to our health care collapsing.
This really feels like an alternate reality.
To all of you still wearing your mask, still protecting yourself and everyone around you, still following science, still standing up to everyone trying to gaslight you to believe COVID isn’t a threat, THANK YOU.
We don’t say it or hear it enough.
Once again Violet Affleck proving that she’s the smartest one in her family.
Consistently protecting herself and everyone around her
This is the way ✊🏻🔥

Facebook mom group today
Mom : Our family is leaving on a cruise in 4 days, but my son is on day 3 of a fever, is advil enough ? Not willing to cancel, especially after the year of sickness we’ve had. I need this vacation.
Most comments : Yes! Go!
We are living in hell
NO ONE, and I repeat NO ONE should be at risk of infection seeking healthcare.
This shouldn’t be happening. And it is, and it makes me so angry.
This isn’t sustainable and we sure as hell can’t continue on this path.
Interrupting my Twitter break to report that I tested positive today - 3 days after visiting a
@VCHhealthcare
urgent care centre for an injury where the majority of my HCW who saw me were unmasked
I always guessed I'd be infected seeking healthcare
Drop a ❤️ if you and your family will continue to mask because you understand this is a collective crisis and we have a responsibility to keep each other safe

« Do Not Resuscitate notices were placed on the medical files of many people with Down’s syndrome, autism & other learning disabilities who were otherwise healthy before contracting the virus »
I have no words …
COVID “doesn’t affect kids” was one of the very first lies that was fed to the public.
Kids didn’t get sick, kids can’t transmit the virus, kids won’t have lasting effects. Kids are being sent into unsafe schools, repeatedly infected.
COVID & kids, quick thread 🧵
We are in a total collapse, kids are dying, hospitals are at their breaking and society is carrying on as if none of this is happening.
Here I am delivering my now 12 🧵 on sudden deaths.
And again, none of this is normal
David Crosby died in his sleep after contracting Covid
“After three days of rehearsals, he felt a little sick. And he’d already had Covid, and he had Covid again. And so he went home and decided that he would take a nap, and he never woke up”
We can’t vaccinate our way out of this. Masks should have never been removed and they need to be reinstated everywhere.
This is spiraling out of control
So we’re gonna be walking around with a variant that’s 30% more transmissible without masks, without protections and with waning vaccine immunity
I must be missing something.
This must be just a bad dream
An Open Letter to the CEO of 3M

This is your daily reminder that you’re not a hypochondriac or « paranoid » if you are doing everything you can to avoid getting infected with a pathogen that will wreck your organs and your brain

Violet Affleck knows that wearing a tight fitted respirator will protect her.
She also chose to wear my absolute fav -Aura 😍
Nice to see there are still people who care about their health, and the health of those around them.
Violet is 17.
I’m exhausted. But I’m mostly angry.
I did not give my consent to be part of this mass infection plan.
You want to talk about freedom ? Where’s my freedom to choose NOT to be part of this ?

Is anyone else FED UP of reading headlines about how the hospitals are collapsing, how sick everybody is, but not a damn thing is done to stop it ????
Enough is enough
#BringBackMasks
One of my past colleagues’ husband tested + for COVID about 9 months ago. He had his version of a «mild infection»
5 days ago, he had a stroke. He’s 45.
Please don’t assume because you had a mild bout and are feeling ok that you are out of the woods.
Monkeypox will make it’s way into daycares, and schools. There’s no doubt about that.
We have no treatments and no vaccines for anyone under 18.
We are not prepared for what’s coming and we have no plan.
Quick 🧵 for the men out there.. or for the men in your lives… more specifically those who think COVID is “just a flu” and masks are not necessary anymore.
I call this thread
#dontlookdown
The inhaled vaccine, made by researchers in Georgia, successfully reduced the risk of symptomatic Covid infections by 86% for three months in people who received it as a booster - almost double the protection the mRNA boosters provide.
"Given the educational cost of healthy children missing school, we understand and respect your decision to send your kids to school with measles."
Because there's no way sending your kids to school with measles could lead to children missing school...
« As historians look back on the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the fundamental issues that they will have to reckon with is the paradox that from the very beginning of the pandemic every tool that could be used to eradicate the virus was in our possession »
🧵 We may have had cases of « sudden death » before (wether it be from heart attacks, strokes etc), but the extent of them that I’m seeing DAILY is unreal.
This can’t ALL be coincidental.
Here are the ones I saw today
After this plague is over (if it ever ends), I don’t want to see any more of those memes asking “would you live in a cabin for a full year alone for 1,000,000$. Most literally couldn’t stay in their houses 5 days to save their grandmothers at this point.
38% of women in California are suffering from Long Covid.
If this is not a wake up call, then I don’t know what is.
We are disabling the population.
This won’t end well.
One of my clients I met with today told me her husband had finally gotten his appointment for hip replacement surgery he had been waiting 9 months for.
He caught covid at the hospital and is now fighting for his life on a ventilator.
What the fk are we doing ?
Delta and Omicron killed far more children than flu ever does 💔
New data show that Covid-19 is far worse for children than seasonal influenza, as long suspected.
My threads are getting closer and closer together, demonstrating the immense amount of these sudden deaths we are seeing now daily.
Here is my now 9th 🧵
