@POTUS
What the hell? You are literally bragging about billionaire profit over human lives. If all you care about are profits, in addition to being forced to shield for 2 years because I am immunocompromised while you ignore COVID, my salary has gone down. I am not alone.
Now that ProjectN95 is no more, where do folks reliably order Aura 3Ms from? We are running low and there’s often fake respirator websites so I want to be sure.
@POTUS
What Americans are you talking about? My rent went up $200 more per month, I received no raises, and groceries are so much more expensive I’ve taken to eating less to get by. Also my medical expenses went up thanks to long COVID.
Dear Covid conscious friends, with wastewater levels trending down, is there ANY chance that they could permanently go down further and even eliminate Covid? Any scientific possibility at all? Minimizers not welcome, please.
Me: there’s a new variant.
My mom: I know. I don’t go into crowds. I know how to do this.
Me:
My mom: Last weekend we all went to a Major League Baseball game, the museum, and then out to eat.
Dear Covid conscious community, do you believe that it will ever ever be safe-ish for immunocompromised to exist in public ever again? What about having household members who you don’t know if they’ll mask having to exist in public? What’s an estimated timeline if any?
How dangerous do we think cheese, ice cream, $ butter are currently? I can’t eat dairy but my gf and her kids can/will only eat limited foods and these are key items. And I’m worried about family/friends/everyone. I cannot even begin to wrap my mind around the dangers to farmers
My mom: everyone is masking at the museum. We all wore masks and went to lunch. Being super careful.
Me: we are in the 2nd highest transmission wave of the pandemic.
Her: I know.
Me: I recommend the respirators I gave you.
Her: *crickets.
…she knows but went to lunch?
My mom: “I’m worried about your mental health for reintegrating into society if Covid ever went away.” 🙄🙄🙄
Zero concern for my mental health fighting for survival when our global leaders have decided people like me are an acceptable sacrifice for billionaire profit.
@ClementonicEm
The sad thing about people who think vaccines are a license to fuck around is that it’s the immunocompromised and others who are vulnerable who find out.
Covid cautious folks, if you have a small face, would you please sign up to be notified when there are more of this n99 available? I’m hoping if they are flooded with requests they will make more. And it’s in black! Best disposable respirator I’ve found.
@katystoll
Also what’s with all the gaslighting responses? Yes we know correlation is not causation in many cases. But also every person is the expert on their own body.
@katystoll
My cramps have been markedly worse since vaccination. Very pro vaccine. 4 doses. But it was a night and day difference for both my uterus and my lungs. Made my uterus significantly worse. Made my long Covid lung damage significantly better.
@TRyanGregory
@opalsoap
Stop extreme gatekeeping to disability accommodations for immunocompromised students, staff, and faculty. Create an easy route to long term remote work.
@dastardlynas
Congratulations on posting the most ableist statement I have read so far today. Granted the day is young. But this is still pretty appalling.
@LauraPowellEsq
As an immunocompromised person who has no other options regarding medical and dental care, good. Go maskless if you must at your restaurants and clubs and coffee shops and parties. But always mask in places where immunocompromised have no alternatives.
Chronically ill friends, do you also get really sick in the heat despite being in central air and not actually getting hot? It was 108 yesterday and I’m lucky enough to have central air and wasn’t hot, but something about the atmosphere made me really ill. Happens every time.
Huh. Just unfollowed a couple Covid conscious people I was following as I just learned they are Zionist. Siggghhhh. How can you be against one genocide but for another genocide??
Why are so many people so defensive of letting their cats outside? That’s how every single one of my family’s cats were killed when I was a child. “It’s a personal choice” they say. To kill you cats? Is this another variation of pandemic anti masker logic?
Disability coordinator: “I understand public bathroom use with Covid and other viruses is a problem but what if we designate a single use bathroom and make sure it’s clean every hour?”
Me: “I’m not concerned about bathroom cleanliness; it’s the air.”
@NBedera
Cheating IS intimate partner violence. It necessarily involves gaslighting. It betrays the victim’s sexual and emotional consent. It puts the victim’s health and safety at risk. And it absolutely accompanies every other form of intimate partner violence.
Why is it that some employees are allowed to miss the in-person meeting if they have impossible childcare issues but I have to get a full disability accommodation to do so with doctor and HR approval of my personal medical details if it’s because I’m immunocompromised?
That awkward moment when you are offered a (mostly) fully remote job that pays $30k more per year than you are currently making…! Okay not awkward, exciting af. No more fighting HR to work remote!!!!!!!!
@POTUS
You haven’t heard ONE THING from us immunocompromised, have you? We have remained on lockdown since early 2020 because two administrations failed a public health response. No masks, not enough Evusheld, so we can’t participate in society. DO SOMETHING and stop bragging.
@BeingCharisBlog
I predict a LOT more deaths, long Covid disability, and monkeypox disfigurement and blinding, probably also deaths, but we won’t hear about most of it because it’ll be covered up and not reported while our leaders gaslight us further. And we’ll quietly run out of treatments.
@covidfuturenyc
Wait you believe nations will actually do something? I am not that optimistic at all. At best they might just suggest maybe wearing masks in some hospitals possibly.
I keep seeing vegans dismissing bird flu concerns by saying “just go vegan.” I wish I could. My autoimmune protocol diet is what keeps me out of losing all bodily and mental functioning. It’s like telling me to “just stop Covid precautions.” The outcome is likely similar for me.
@dastardlynas
You just keep digging your hole deeper. I recommend looking up disability tax to understand how and why we are forced to pay more and put forth more work just to survive and have our basic needs covered. Being forced to pay more to survive is far less privilege, not more.
3 years ago today, the CDC & Biden admin announced that vaccinated people could safely stop wearing masks.
Since then, over 750,000 people have been killed by C0VlD in the U.S., including many vaccinated people. Over 28,000 have died in 2024. Over 25 million now have Long C0VlD.
@POTUS
Cool. Where are our n95s mailed to our homes and messaging about the importance of wearing a well-fitted mask in an airborne deadly and disabling pandemic to prevent transmission?
@adamboxer1
Maybe by “post-Covid world” you actually mean you have had COVID one or multiple times and you are actually referring to having long COVID? COVID damages your immune system so there’s your answer. It also causes accelerated aging. And kids in school cause more infections.
Awesome. Now my gf’s kids who are in online school are being mandated to come in person every day for a week for 4 hour test sessions. I’m immunocompromised and she has a history of strokes. We bought them flo masks and are asking the school for accommodations. This is bullshit.
@mjmarrom
Yes thank you! I’m immune compromised and the news isn’t good for vaccine efficacy for us. Also I caught it in March 2020 from work and my lungs have not healed since. They got a little better after the vaccine but they are not what they used to be pre Covid.
@SimoneRacanelli
When I go for walks, I typically see a woman in a couple masked up, the kids if there are any are masked up, but the man will be unmasked and raw dawging/virus spreading with oh so manly glee… 😕
@RealPaulVarjack
@kimarshall15
@Pa758758
@TheRealRhllor
Just another immunocompromised person chiming in to inform you most of us diligently followed directions and received all 3 doses and are waiting for the 4th. But it’s not enough to protect us. We carefully followed the science. Time for you to do the same before speaking.
The Covid conscious community is giving me life by all the responses to that NPR ableist garbage. I hope the writer listens to us. I hope NPR learns from this. Probably not but a queer can dream.
@LauraMiers
@Michael59503746
That’s basically every conversation with my mom. She doesn’t care that I’m immunocompromised or that I have long Covid lung damage. She’s mad i won’t see her in person because she always has been obsessed with normalcy and me being cautious embarrasses her.
@DrPops3
They tend to be just as or more ableist than the general population. Years of ableist discrimination before the pandemic and the pandemic just gave them a bigger opportunity.
@madsamama
@StephTaitWrites
I’m so sorry. I think the administration did and calculated costs and shrugged their shoulders at people like us because billionaire profit.
@citrusdriad
Kinda panicked because I don’t know. I want reliable comprehensive data on food safety. I want data on how safe it is to take my cats to the vet for their yearly legally mandated rabies vaccine.
@DeborahSills
@united
Pretty sure their only reason for banning HEPA filters is because they don’t want any visual reminders that the pandemic is real because it might discourage profits. Human life and safety does not matter to
@UnitedAirlines_
, only profit.
@DawnLauri
@MaudMaron
Exactly.I’m done with being immunocompromised. I’m gonna give up and go expose myself to this deadly and disabling virus and see if it makes my long Covid lung damage from March 2020 even worse.
@Erin__424
@Wicked_Womanist
@MatthewACherry
This is how I feel every day about everything. Been in mostly isolation since March 2020 because I’m immunocompromised and our government, all workplaces, and most people want me dead.
@BeingCharisBlog
I’m also thinking more “studies” will further limit definitions of immunocompromised so more cannot access Evusheld, boosters, or disability accommodations. And the ADA might role back some protections.
Moving during a pandemic: Our moving helpers were unmasked and one was sick. We all wore n95s the whole time but…. I am immunocompromised and my gf is high risk and has a history of strokes. Please send us staying well thoughts. 💜
Surprising Covid safer engagement on Instagram. Mercury Stardust posted photos of herself and her partners and friends wearing masks at an event and the comments are FILLED with high risk people thanking her for masking. It gave me the smallest glimmer of hope in the world.
@POTUS
YOU KNOW THAT IS A LIE! Antibodies from mRNA wane after 2-3 months. Approve Novavax as a booster for all already and let the fully mRNA vaccinated/boosted get the full Novavax series plus booster and THEN maybe you can talk to us about once a year.
@CovidSolidarit1
They have always always always hated the disabled, high risk, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and/or fat, etc. forever. This is nothing new. Just new people are seeing it for the first time.
@alaskastardust
@nailatrahman
As a non binary queer person with a uterus who is immunocompromised and had my entire future, rights, safety, and chance of survival stolen from me by the lack of COVID response, just a reminder that they didn’t consider ableist eugenicism either.
@baddestmamajama
Immunocompromised so nope. The daily death threats from all sides really get to you after a minute, especially while your HR is threatening to force you back in person even though the vaccines might not work for you. The invisible genocide of the immunocompromised isn’t fun.
@MrkStdngr
@alberta45169406
Wow omg my PCP the other week told me I was totally fine after all these red flags on my blood test and undiagnosed me from a diagnosis I’ve had for a decade based on a random outside opinion and I’ve been so confused. Maybe this follows?
@chydorina
Kinda feels like making excuses for that behavior. It probably was trauma, but when I got seriously ill my mom verbally attacked me repeatedly. I lost the ability to properly walk, talk, do basic self care, and she only ripped into me daily. I stopped taking her calls for months
@POTUS
Freedom for who? As an immunocompromised person, ending all COVID protections means I haven’t been able to safely leave home since March 2020. As a person with a uterus, I no longer have rights to my own body. As an American, I have to fear daily gun violence. Cool country, bro.
@AkilahObviously
May I ask where you are getting data saying this is one of the biggest surges? I feel so lost because all the data I look to is compromised: places not reporting, cdc obfuscating it, nowhere to report rapid tests, etc. I’d really like to know where we are… 😢
I feel like a fraud for wanting the remote accommodation in the first place for being immunocompromised because no one believes Covid is real. I have the letter from my doctor even. And I still feel like a fraud.
@BNODesk
No recognition whatsoever that his vaccine only approach is a death sentence to the immunocompromised. We are triple vaccinated, did everything right, but there is nothing to protect us.
@POTUS
Yeah by mass murdering/disabling us by forcing everything in person except for the wealthy who get to work/school remotely. But, as you’ll soon see, if you don’t voluntarily shut it down, Covid will shut it down for you. But everyone will be sick with no essential services.
It’s like saying she’s concerned for my mental health over my ability to eat gluten and dairy if they suddenly became safe for me. There might be a moment of anxiety, sure, but I’d be happily wolfing down that grilled cheese. But that’s never happening anyways either.
@DrAmyMarschall
I did know in March 2020. It was obvious by then. If I had known in January 2020 I would have used my vacation and any money I had to go on a trip with my gf/the love of my life to have some real time with her before my life essentially ended as an immunocompromised person.
@ParadiseLostCA
@crixmother
Cool. Your “freedom” means immunocompromised like me haven’t been able to safely leave the house since early 2020 and I can’t get my GD bloodwork. Carry on.
And on this note, what about chicken litter in fertilizer? Is our produce safe? Is this an absurd question? What about mosquitoes/etc.? Is anyone looking into these?
@jklmd123
There is no alternative but death or further disability as an immunocompromised person. I tried to get a permanently remote job but my applications went nowhere. I’m going to try to fight for a permanent medical accommodation to telecommute. All of my goals/plans in life ended
@sl8r1Fett
@RedactedJohn
That’s very nice but many immunocompromised are often young and look healthy. Please keep it up for everyone because you don’t know who is most vulnerable.
