Something I find personally dispiriting is how they got wealthier during the global pandemic....

New zine that's free for anyone to print and distribute! Read the whole thing at newlevant.com/COVIDzine or in the rest of this post.

UPDATE 4/11/2023:

I swapped out the colloidal silver nasal spray info for xylitol nasal spray info. I originally included colloidal silver spray because of the linked study and recommendation from RTHM, but I don't want to be pointing people toward something with notable health risks. Xylitol spray (Xlear) is also cheaper and more widely available!

Ahh..... America.... land of profit over the public good.

After raising the price of COVID-19 vaccines more than four-fold this year, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told investors Monday that the company will also likely hike the price of its lifesaving COVID-19 antiviral treatment, Paxlovid, raising further concern about access and healthcare costs.

This shouldn't surprise anyone because Trump made everything worse

Interesting......

I am glad Biden is President, so more people don't die.

[corona-journal]

Shocked and stunned...

Not really...

Now people have to choose between food and rent. Companies should not be allowed to raise prices when there is a national crisis.

Not covid, but vaccine related...

Because.....

Anti education in science, school funding cuts, rise of Christian fundamentalism... add in Trump.... it's a raw sewage mix...

The measles outbreak is due to children not being vaccinated. Measles had been eradicated until anti-vaxxers started saying vaccines were dangerous.

How interesting......

The pandemic is officially waning, I suppose.....

But still, stay home if you're ill, just like if you've got a common cold or a flu, because the health care system...... wait. America.

American health care....

Sigh.....

Black humour and cynicism is the appropriate response here.

When I think about this through the lens of the pandemic, well, yes.

Even the police force has equipment I'd expect to see of an infantry unit: assault rifles, armoured cars....

And when the shit hit the public needs fan, Trump and the republicans failed the people. Bidding wars for essential medical equipment. Freezer trucks for morgues, Trump saying bleach injections are a thing (No!)

The pandemic reset society to a test level. America is about freedom, and 'anyone can make it to the top'. But as for caring for its vulnerable citizens...

A grade somewhere between F and E minus...

America is in love with its own perceptions via mass media.

War is a money making machine so politicians love it

I reblogged a earlier post on media selective memory. Which is to an agenda. Which reinforces cultural memory that lingers.

The covid 19/ corona virus is a global changer. For a 2 years scientists focused on finding a vaccine.... and we got one.

Then politicians and media saw society roll back to 'normal' ....

Wars started or restarted, economies felt the post covid support payments come due. And this pandemic just... didn't happen?

That's a bizarre cultural memory phenomenon....

We are all doing better than we were 4 years ago and I don't want to back. That's why I'm voting for Biden.

Interesting that there is a examinable result.

And it's a quite quick turnaround on investigating this symptom.

A small light of hope.

8th March 2024

Researchers have discovered that leaky blood vessels, together with a hyperactive immune system may be the underlying cause of brain fog in people with long covid. They suggest their discovery is important for the understanding of brain fog and cognitive decline – difficulty with thinking, memory or concentration – seen in some people with the condition. It is hoped the findings will help with the development of treatments in the future.

To Summarize:

Long Covid sufferers experience symptoms like forgetfulness and concentration issues due to leakiness in brain blood vessels, according to research findings.

Scientists from Trinity College Dublin and FutureNeuro confirm that Long Covid patients with brain fog have disrupted blood vessels in their brains, making the neurological symptoms measurable.

Blood vessel leakage in the brain, along with an overactive immune system, may be the key drivers of brain fog in Long Covid patients, leading to potential changes in understanding and treating post-viral conditions.

I can't find a single right-wing news source covering this.

Media have selective memory, linked to an agenda....

1. Morning in America

Without irony or embarrassment, Elise Stefanik asks, “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”

And then Stefanik claims that the answer is “A resounding no.”

AYFKM?

Let’s do this. And I mean, let’s really forking do it.

First, let’s start with the baseline. What was it like four years ago?

At this point in 2020, a few hundred Americans were dying every day from COVID. By April 2020 that number would be over 2,000 dead per day.

Replace 'giant floating obelisk' with 'corona virus/ covid 19/ covid*' and you pretty much have a snapshot of society as covid becomes a background thing....

* naming convention chosen because that's how the popular reporting name evolved
