@JudahWorldChamp @jonstewart @jonfavs @Timodc @weeklyshowpod I expected this kind of ableist talk from the neoliberal hack @jonfavs but thought @jonstewart was smart enough to read one of the thousands of studies about what Covid does to the brain, immune system, and organs. They’d rather make mean jokes than acknowledge reality

Can we get this hashtag going? Are you #oneofthetwo maskers @jonstewart was mocking? And *gasp* alone in my car!!
Hey @jonstewart @jonfavs @Timodc @weeklyshowpod, why are you trying to belittle people for wearing a mask? #covidisairborne #disabilityjustice #PublicHealth #WeKeepUsSafe

Hey I have an idea. If you don’t even know the difference between measles and chicken pox, how about you SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT HEALTH RELATED TOPICS ON YOUR PODCAST THAT GETS 12 MILLION LISTENERS @joerogan?

so, @jonstewart expects grocery workers, teachers, students, and others, to get infected w/ something that hit him that hard? Is he paying for their time off work or their medical bills? Does he advocate for paid sick days or basic income while enabling mass infection/eugenics?
👇🏼Next time be #oneofthetwo

Every word of this thread. #Measles is not and has never been a minor viral illness. Joe Rogan is wrong and has no business spouting unscientific fallacies about it.
Joe Rogan (born in 1967): "Measles is an infection that everyone got when I was a kid, and what happened was, you’d get sick for a few days...If you’re dying from measles, you’re sick, you’re already compromised." This is fraught with false & misleading statements 🧵

He just tested positive for COVID, and we were all exposed
This is the worst Christmas of my life. My grandfather raised me and is currently hospitalized from complications of his cancer treatment. He has stage 4. They stopped treatment. This is how we’re celebrating today. Hug your loved ones.

This shit is so depressing. I am simply trying to survive as a person who was disabled by a covid infection. Why would @jonstewart of ALL ppl go out of his way to mock me. It’s like they’re trying to make the world completely unsurvivable for us. The lack of empathy is staggering

I don’t even know what to say anymore, really. New analysis is out for effectiveness of the 2024-2025 KP.2 mRNA shots: https://t.co/46EBjS2OuW 16.60% against infection and 19.53% against hospitalization. These routinely give folks days of debilitating side effects are hardly

This year, Unite's energy report with some stark findings: Energy companies made £30 billion profit in 2024. £500 of the average household energy bill goes on pure profit, roughly a third. Bring energy back into #PublicOwnership. https://t.co/wYg5lHhpfU

@AlterIvan1 Where? I’ve wondered if #PodSaveJon even knows the disability activist who launched that hashtag over his mocking of Covid-avoiders has died…due to an infection she acquired in a hospital where staff refuse to mask for immune comp’d patients.

John Stewart and the guy (Favreau 🤮) who harassed us for advocating for respirators, LC research/funding, etc are having fun mocking people who wear respirators out there. This is why we call them all "shitlibs".

📈📉Have we passed the flu peak early or will Christmas mixing increase infections next week? Fingers crossed for the former, and a low / early peak this season. 🤞🤞

Folks, by the time you realize you're sick, you've already spread it.

The NHS is under pressure to adopt Palantir software. Palantir’s founder openly despises the NHS. You can push back – use our tool to see if your local trust is using the software, then send an email to say no to Palantir https://t.co/FvmvuH5aCt

@snacklesbian Something even stranger happened, where the virus was anthropomorphized and people thought they were taking their lives back from the virus and sticking it to the virus by getting sick over and over again just to have brunch

people still won't put together that the pandemic, and in particular the "back to normal" campaign, are the driving force behind this. essentially, we *had* something like a general strike, and we got offered a pizza party and worse conditions than we had before to end it early

Unplanned Christmas Day PCR update, as we did get data from PH Scotland after all! Most areas at 3% or below except E Ayrshire. A higher positivity across the south, London, and Essex. To watch: two sharp resurgences in Sheffield and Derby. https://t.co/1phcyp7RiP

Public perception vs reality gap Despite much lower public attention after 2022: - viral circulation in 2023–2025 often equals or exceeds Omicron 1 levels This highlights: - Surveillance fatigue ≠ virus disappearance - Policy and media attention are diverging from
