The widespread acceptance of the idea that 'Covid is over' while people are still constantly getting Covid over and over again.
What’s the weirdest thing society accepts as normal?

So, please @andyburnham, implement the recommendations of this vital public inquiry. Don't allow institutional memory to fade again. However, most important, recognise the anguish and inequality affecting @cv_cev, @CovidBereaved, @LongCovidSOS, @LongCovidKids, and others...💔

Why are people angry about care homes being abandoned in 2020 but saying nothing about care homes in 2026 during the current (13th) Covid wave being in an even worse situation with no universal PPE, no universal testing & no care for what is happening?

So, we couldn't install ventilation systems in schools, cinemas, office buildings, etc., while they were empty in 2020, but mid- nineteenth-century engineers could raise entire buildings and streets in downtown Chicago, by as much as 14 feet, in response to water-borne illnesses. – at Galway, Ireland

It’s the 13th wave of Covid right now. The 13th spin of the chamber. Many lives were destroyed from waves 1 to 12, but every wave is an opportunity to join them. The NYT is saying it out loud at last…

Sometimes the effects come days later. Sometimes the effects come weeks later. Sometimes the effects come months later. Sometimes they come years later.

Just because it starts with flu-like symptoms, it doesn't mean that's where it ends. Polio Legionella Lyme Disease HIV TB Leishmaniasis Syphilis Hepatitis Smallpox Histoplasmosis Anthrax Fricking Anthrax They can all start with flu-like symptoms. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o…

If the Covid pandemic is over, why is the 13th wave of Covid infections spreading in an uncontrolled fashion, impacting healthcare services globally now, you know, the very definition of a pandemic?

Lab confirmed Flu A cases jumped nearly **70%** here this week. Lab confirmed Covid cases have *quadrupled* in a month. Mask up. It's as simple as that. Mask up. FFP2/N95+, wherever you go in public.

Which young people are getting vaccinated over & over in the UK? None. Which young people are being infected with Covid over & over? All of them.
I’ve just watched a whole BBC documentary about the rapid increase in cancer among the young.. It explored food & lifestyle choices, even body sprays & plastics. Not once tho, did they explore whether getting young healthy people vaccinated over & over with a product that had no long term health data, may have played a role🤔

Here in the UK, we're now in the eighth school year since the start of the pandemic. We are also in the midst of the thirteenth wave of Covid-19. Illness... Harm... Change... Disruption... It's never stopped. 🧵

To those following the science, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to hear that infections cause cancer. Many studies have shown that Covid infections can reactivate dormant cancer cells and trigger the growth of secondary cancers. buds.org.uk/covid-and-cancer…
Covid-19 infections can reactivate dormant cancer cells, & trigger the growth of secondary cancers. There is now compelling medical evidence to this effect. Read the full story on our website: buds.org.uk/covid-and-cancer…

We spent decades teaching people that cancer is mostly bad luck, bad genes, or bad habits. Then you find out 2.3 million cases in a single year were attributable to infections.

We should not wait decades to ask whether another preventable infection has long-term consequences. Prevention matters.
Research matters.
 And protecting people from infection matters.

A friend has Covid right now. They have lost their sense of smell and they're having cognitive problems. This hit me today, as it often does: we made, and continue to make, a huge collective mistake in allowing a virus that impacts the brain to transmit unmitigated globally.
