Today is a good day to remember all of the smug coverage portraying those who still took COVID seriously as neurotic shut-ins.

Here’s how coverage can include voices from people who still take reasonable precautions to not become infected with a dangerous virus, who follow the science and know it’s airborne, etc. If we had more articles like this, we’d have more awareness and be in a better place.

If I may, I’d say, “the smug coverage portraying those who still *take* COVID seriously” (a la the commonly heard “Back during the pandemic”—i.e., how most people want to put the pandemic comfortably in the past, while of course it’s still ongoing unfortunately).

depressingly the smugness is still as strong as the virus—even in coverage that purports to support what you’re saying

Between this and the Medicaid cuts, a lot of very good people are going to be eugenicized by this administration and the mostly apathetic "opposition" party. RIP.

Today is also a good day to remember the political cowardice that enabled the right to undermine COVID mitigation measures.

It's also a good day for people to start considering what mitigations that they can use that doesn't rely on vaccination status or false pretenses that repeated infections are good.

My money is on mass influenza death this coming winter. Anti-vax nitwits don't get that vaccines don't prevent you from getting flu — they prevent the flu from *killing you*.

And if we had just had a proper lockdown with robust assistance for everyone for just a few weeks, we could've put COVID behind us in 2020, but no, god forbid people are safe if it means a billionaire can't get a fifth buggati

My hospital has one COVID hospitalized child <12. Guess if they’re vaccinated or not?(Hint:no!)

Almost all vax’d kids we see hospitalized are ones with some underlying health issues

Ps-Not to minimize children with health issues, I’m just trying to point out that being vax’d makes a big difference
