To all the Cov*d cautious people out there - I want you to know that I’m still masking. I’m not going to restaurants. I’m not jumping on planes to go on vacation or doing unnecessary travel. I’m not pretending it’s pre 2019. I’m legit zero cov*d & you aren’t alone this weekend
I thought erectile disfunction issues from sars2 would wake dudes up. Then I assumed sick, disabled & dead kids would alarm parents. So does it need to get lower or is this just how it’s gonna be? When does this madness end? What will it take for society to say enough is enough?
Yeah, because it’s your f*cking business if people want to mask to protect themselves from an airborne biosafety level 3 virus that continues to sicken, disable and kill millions globally.
Pure scum.
“I am so excited that we are FINALLY going to have a normal, in-person school year! Even though we still have have to learn to live with Covid 19… and now monkeypox…and maybe polio…again…but don’t worry. We are on top of things at the CDC! Enjoy being mask free this year!☺️”
A feel good thread from Reddit Collapse with people discussing their post Covid cognitive decline. These ppl could be your next electrician, surgeon, bus driver or pilot. We share the roads and highways with these people.
Tell me again this virus is mild, I dare you
@CDCDirector
He is tested for sars2 daily.
@CDCDirector
& Jha have kids that attend a school in Newton, MA where parents can view reports on classroom CO2 readings/ventilation. Do your kids have that luxury? Does your workplace have such standards?
The virus continues to dominate OUR lives
As
@POTUS
said
COVID used to dominate our lives
No longer
Our vaccines have saved millions of lives
And while the toll of the virus has been enormous
Lets honor those lost by continuing to fight COVID
And build next generation vaccines & treatments to keep America safe
This is what happens when you fork out thousands of dollars to see a concert (from a millionaire musician) during an airborne pandemic that continues to be downplayed by public health leadership. How many people are getting infected with a life changing virus at these concerts?
I find it really interesting that Steve Scalise is wearing a mask and asking reporters to stand at a distance now that he has cancer. He called the CDC's recommendations on mask wearing political stunts. Thoughts and prayers.
No ill will intended, I just find it hypocritical.
Mark your calendar. They’ve been sitting on this data for months & likely keep stalling on releasing it bc Mandy and the crew are trying to come up w excuses for yet another massive decrease in life expectancy. Normally this data is released in the summer
@ParentMishmash
It’s absolutely criminal that we have essentially 0 public health messaging on Covid & monkeypox at the same time. And the little info being presented isn’t credible. This whole pretending like there isn’t a problem global strategy is not working. These children will never forget
According to Nash, Crosby was on his *second* known SARS2 infection and died in his sleep.
This “Mild Culling” of elderly, immunocompromised, adults and children alike is cruel and disgusting.
When will more people stand up and say, enough is enough. This isn’t fucking normal!
Since this app is circling the drain, we need to compile a list of users who spread Covid misinfo & hopium lies to the masses. Pls feel free to add names & tweets/screenshots of those responsible for the current mess. I’ll archive this tweet for lawyers and Covid historians
I have long accepted the cold fact that you can have an air purifier running for “cleaner” air but that is not enough to safely unmask in ANY public setting. Especially now since ppl have been given FULL permission to stop taking all SARS2 precautions. Clean air isn’t enough guys
If you watch 60 Mins tonight and feel outraged about how info about pandemic air quality was hidden, just remember that the former CDC director and WH Covid coordinator both made sure their kids public schools had top of the line air quality monitoring/updated HVAC in fall 2021
To all those claiming you masked this whole time and are shocked you got infected (again), don’t you know we can all see your maskless indoor selfies and various social activities in public spaces on IG?
I’m asking this in all honesty here, but what do average people expect to happen when you unmask to eat indoors during an ongoing airborne pandemic? I mean, they know they run a high probability of being infected with sars2, right?
Public spaces should have the equivalent of a non-smoking section for those who don’t want to be infected w “second hand” SARS2.
No one should be catching a BSL-3 virus at work, seeking medical care or doing essential shopping at grocery stores or pharmacies.
How long do we wait?
For years I’ve operated under the assumption everyone I come in contact with has this virus, knowingly or not, with the former falling into the selfish “me me me, yolo” category. This tweet confirms my long standing position. Ppl don’t care if they sicken, disable or kill you.
I’ll say it: you DON’T need to unmask in public to speak at a conference. Even with so called “good safety” standards it’s still very risky.
I find this tweet dangerous & misleading, a la K*m Pr*ther style, w mixed messaging. Cautious ppl might unmask bc of these “influencers”
… to get up close with Harris, who presides over the Senate as vice president, new senators and family members will have to score a negative on a 'medically-administered antigen test.'
@MeetJess
We are living in a world where SARS2 infected people are the equivalent of drunk drivers. These walking biohazards are unavoidable at pharmacies, grocery stores and doctors offices. We have laws against drunk drivers. Why don’t we have laws about not infecting others w sars2?
Let me guess. Tomorrow I’m gonna wake up and it will another pandemic-y filled dangerous day to be in public so I’ll have to continue to isolate since no one masks anymore. We have been cheated out of another day life thx to Rochelle, Zients, Jha, Biden, Urgency of Normal & GBD
Why did he post this unmasked pic in a crowded outdoor setting?
Disappointing…
Did this photo really need to be shared with his zero Covid Twitter followers?
Why are all these big names in the community suddenly testing the waters with sharing unmasked pics on here?
The finding out is on the tip of his tongue, right? RIGHT?
Dude, hand washing and vax won’t cut it. This is nearly 2024 and we’ve known since 2020 this is airborne and that n95s work. I don’t know if I feel bad for these people or not at this point...
“It may interest you to know we are having difficult discussions about seat belt wearing while also exploring the idea of drinking and driving. Weekends, very unlikely. Weekdays, not sure yet. Some relevant factors include:
Remembering that time Rochelle said the quiet part out loud… 🤔
Thanks for the awesome interview and getting Rochelle to let her hair down, Andy. This clip is sure to go down in the history books!
Wastewater is the only accurate metric we have left to track SARS2. It’s remarkable how elevated our new low baseline is since they did away with masking& isolation. Unless we collectively suppress transmission we will never get back to those brief ultra low transmission periods.
@MeetJess
So many people must have gotten sick from this event. And just think of how many they infected along the way? Limo drivers, waiters, assistants…
Anyone happen to know names of major commercial farms within a 100 mile radius of East Palestine? I don’t want to consume any food from this new superfund area. Thanks
Now fully healthy (and still in better shape than me), Bruce Springsteen re-joined the E Street Band and launched his 2024 tour with an epic 29-song performance in Phoenix on Tuesday night:

@CDCgov
They might as well remove the seat belt requirement on planes for takeoff, landing and turbulence. It is far more likely people will be deeply injured and harmed from a sars cov2 infection on planes now than from not wearing a seat belt.
We didn’t have to move forward & accept forever polio, cholera, 2nd hand smoke, asbestos exposure, etc. We don’t tolerate drunk driving, largely thx to activism from MADD. States have laws that criminalize HIV exposure.
Why does this person never mention elimination as an option?
Like many of you, I was alarmed when large follow anti cov1d accounts started posting contradictory statements and pics.
Only after many of us took verbal lashings, were falsely called out as liars, and got blocked, did I finally see what many of us have been saying for years /1
@CDCDirector
I’m glad that I followed
@fitterhappierAJ
s advice since 2020 & not yours or the other minimizers. If I was only vaxd and washing my hands to prevent I’d be infected mult times. There will be hell to pay once everyone else wakes up to the fact their immune systems are gone
A tale of two countries 🇸🇪🇳🇿
Forced infection AKA “herd immunity” vs. shielding people from SARS2.
How much clearer does it need to be? We cannot live with this virus. Cut transmission NOW by isolating sick, using respirators, ventilation/filtration/uvc in public settings.
This is how Sweden’s herd immunity compares to New Zealand’s ZeroCovid in the long term. Shocking differences in excess mortality highlighting how important was to contain COVID.
2 1/2 half years into this horror show and we still have no ADA enforced protections at dental offices for patients. Please, let’s have safety measures in place so people can get dental work done without picking up SARS2. HEPA filters, ventilation, far UV!
Spot on! Combating COVID19 requires a comprehensive multi-pronged approach: masks, tests, treatments, vaccine. Those holding out for the vaccine alone are going to be sorely disappointed; time to beef up the dimensions we have on hand already!
@CarlosdelRio7
@gregggonsalves
There is only one intelligent person in these photos, 17 year old Violet Affleck . Looks like someone is sensible and trying to avoid sars2 with a quality n95.
I look forward to the day we start getting honest about these sudden deaths.
It. Is. Covid.
38 year olds aren’t supposed to be dying.
Matt posted about two known infections. Died a few days after the 2nd pic
I’ve been using N95s but feel compelled to up my mask game even more based on what I’m reading about BA 2.75. Considering the GVS Elipse P100. Anybody use this one? How often do you change the filters?
Open to suggestions or feedback on your respirator or choice.
Don’t you love how all of a sudden, because you can see it and smell it, people are concerned with what they are inhaling? Y’all have been raw dogging a biosafety level 3 pathogen for the last 3 years and not giving a fuck 🫠🫠🫠
I just called the White House to express my concerns over the lack of masking and reliance on vac only as we enter a winter of hell. Call and let them know you are concerned at

@curemecfs
Dental practices are perhaps the most high risk place for catching this virus. It’s criminal there are no set OSHA safety standards for dental offices at this stage of the pandemic.

@sarahwoolard
Good catch. I notice this more and more when I listen to podcasts, radio djs and news anchors. Close your eyes when listening and you’ll hear lots coughing and very breathy sounding folk these days. All preventable w masking but they wanted to FAFO
@jesseintl
This is horrific and why this virus won’t stop spreading - foolish selfish behavior like this. Think of all the people she likely infected on that flight. Why was she traveling while ill to start with!? This is why I will likely never get on a plane ever again
It’s incredible that this aerosol chemist is about to receive a high scientific honor yet the person replying to her pathetic tweet is a million times more intelligent and sensible than her
I can’t wait to watch her be honored on Sunday 🥹
Do you think she will be masked?😉
“‘One need not wait for CDC action in order to put a mask on,’ said Walensky in a call with reporters Monday prior to the summit.”
But, but… Rochelle said we could vax and relax! 🥺

@CovidDataReport
Don’t worry Vinay, you won’t be around in the years to come if you continue to prance around maskless at large conferences during a highly contagious, airborne pandemic.
@reneenicolegray
Same here. It’s nerve wracking having to go out to what should be safe community places like grocery, doctors, hospitals, etc.
We no longer have accurate metrics to assess how bad cases are plus majority of the public no longer masks or takes precautions.
All these
#LongCovidAwarenessDay
tweets are making me so emotional 😭 So many have been suffering in silence for years now. They need support and answers. And above all, we must STOP transmission of this virus to prevent more cases of long Covid.
Why no comment from
@CDCDirector
?
Business idea for those w money/connections: can someone please start Covid safe medical practice chain that has required n95s for staff, air purifiers, co2 monitors, windows that open, etc. I simply want to go to a med practice knowing they take airborne precautions seriously
More lives ruined and cut short thanks to unchecked SARS2. This is our future if we continue with no mitigations. Is this how you want to live? I don't want to pick up pulmonary fibrosis at the grocery store, is that an unreasonable request?
No. I want an apology from GBD, Urgency of Normal and all the other grifter con artists responsible for spewing minimizing propaganda that contributed to our current mess.
And I never want to see always-wrong-Monica interviewed for a news article ever again.
"When people show you who they are, believe them."
If you’ve had issues with a nameless Canadian anti Covid influencer account on here, be aware that your opinions and experiences are not all that unique from his students views. Take a look.
@LauraMiers
Yep. I am concerned that the media manufactured return to normal BS will contribute to lots of ppl out at the bars for St. Patrick's Day.
So many don't understand that one night of going out for booze could end in their death or becoming disabled with long C.
NYMC made the right call here. Masking required in classrooms, lecture halls and the library! 👏
Will other higher ed institutes decide to protect their students, staff and faculty for the upcoming semester?
@EnemyInAState
If only people knew that a quick maskless trip to the grocery store is the equivalent of having unprotected sex w an HIV person. If sars2 was framed appropriately, like, “we ALL breath in air in public and a face condom (mask) for protection”, we would be in a different place
Question - what are ppl supposed to do if they cannot afford all these protections? What about those who work in person daily? Not everyone makes mid 6 figures, has the luxury of quality masks, private car & a co2 monitor.
So how do ALL folks have a chance to avoid infection?
@MeetJess
That’s right. Sad to say, masks don’t magically still work when you remove them to sip on a margarita inside a densely packed bar during an airborne pandemic.
@catladyactivist
The great unmasking movement did me in and my emotions go from shock, despair, rage, anger & this repeats every fucking day. I've come to accept that no one is coming to help and we are all on our own. This is

@CDCDirector
Very important to stay hydrated to avoid collisions w bathroom waste bins. But how is it possible that BOB, with his comprehensive risk analysis calculations got…it? He is an MD so clearly he must know what he’s talking about & practicing good measures like his UCSF colleagues!
Quietly, they are starting to come clean. But wouldn’t it be helpful if the new CDC director was more vocal in warning people about the higher risk of complications? And actually detail what are the complications? Why cant they be honest and tell folks to MASK plus vaccinate?
Wish I could spend less time on having to keep up w cov1d research, viewing air quality index, reading global climate collapse stories, & spending 💵 on safety gear like masks/air purifiers. I almost don’t remember what the pre times were like at this stage of societal collapse
Guess I should break out my mindfulness relaxation app approved by the $urgeon general to deal with my anxiety over climate collapse. Some of you fell for that bs on cov1d. Why isn’t he tweeting telling ppl to mask for poor air quality?
Just when you think they can’t go lower. These con artists are now minimizing legitimate hazardous air quality in an effort to make ppl feel compelled to go out & spend money to float the economy all while risking their health.
I guess seeing all the masking today triggered him.
