I didn't even recognize him at first, for some reason, but I immediately thought, "wow, that guy's posture looks just like steven a. smith right before he says something infinitely dumb"

I want to find a way to connect, if not for her sake than for the child.
No kid should have their health destroyed if there’s a way to prevent it.
Are mitigations 100%? No. But a layered approach can come darn close and children need us to make the effort.

The only thing I can think is that her denial is so strong she couldn’t bring herself to decline the visit, because that might mean she would have to admit that her lack of precautions is harming her child.
How do we break through to someone like that??

One is in the hospital with severe complications.
I can’t wrap my head around this. It was so easily preventable. It was such an obvious outcome.
If you take absolutely no precautions & invite high risk people into your home while acutely ill, you’re going to cause harm

I was ignored. Until this week when a mutual friend reached out to tell me that they’re sick again, as are both their grandparents.
Apparently the high risk seniors came to visit, she didn’t test or advise of the risk, and now they’re all ill.

When the new “razor blade throat” variant started to spread, the kid was already sick with something else.
I mentioned that it might be worthwhile to reconsider mitigations given the new variant has caused a doubling of hospitalized patients in China.

I tried to gently suggest air purifiers for when people come to visit, and was told they impact her “joy”.
One would think having your child be sick all the time would also impact joy, but I digress.
I suggested respirators for visitors and was told that I’m “crazy”

Unfortunately Covid denialism makes this incredibly difficult.
My friend is in utter denial about the health of her kiddo.
The baby can’t gain weight, is constantly sick and isn’t meeting milestones.

Being a chronically ill kid is hard.
You have no agency. You can’t make your own choices about protecting your health.
It’s up to your parents to keep you safe AND to recognize the signs of chronic illness.

So, the criminals with MS-13 connections sit in the WH?
Not surprised.

fwiw, Journalist Linda Tirado, who was shot in the eye with a "less lethal" round while covering the Ferguson protests a couple of years ago, entered hospice care this week becuse of her injuries

The scenes in this video look eerily familiar to those from the Chun Doo Hwan regime.
Lee's death made everyone realize that the protesters were the good guys and they never forgot that lesson.
Hey. Let's do ourselves a favor and all learn that lesson before someone has to die.

This is a point I think we need to make more actually because I think that even if I were "Gender Critical" I'd be able to recognise that Joanne is just a really fucking nasty piece of work. Spiteful, vindictive, petty. Just absolutely rancid.
