We could fix this by making it illegal to report covid numbers. -RFK Probally

I'm immunocompromised and still have to mask up everywhere. Now that scientists know covid causes PERMANENT brain damage, some things going on in the USA make a lot more sense

I read somewhere that getting a covid booster helps with long covid recovery. I also have family members who won't get the vaccine and still complain about their endurance being low after getting covid in 2020. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I get a COVID-19 booster with my flu shot every year. Anybody else do that?

[–] lemmylommy 28 points 14 hours ago

Unfortunately for people with some chronic conditions, which make us vulnerable to vaccines, we aren’t allowed to vaccinate :(.

And many countries, like the UK, aren’t even offering them anymore.

Thank WHO for keeping with the science. My appreciation is much greater that mere words can express.

Unfortunately, healthcare has become politicized along with other forms of basic human decency.

See, I told you this virus wouldn't affect us!

What if we don't move on, and then call that moving on?
