Vaccines are safe and effective and I’m glad to have one. However, I wish that places noting how few vaccinated cases of delta we’re seeing would note they’re only tracking vaccinated *hospitalized* cases, and Long Covid can still happen, as far as we know, with mild ones.
I wish more data, or any data, would come out on LC/vaccinated cases, but I have friends and loved ones dropping all precautions fully because they’re vaccinated and I very much worry this opens them up to a little-understood chronic and possibly lifetime illness.
I can promise you this, not only do you not want a chronic illness, you do not want to throw yourself on the mercy of the American way of dealing with chronic illness, which is to put you on a rotating treadmill of expensive specialists who won’t talk to each other.
This is the latest info I can find on breakthrough cases/long Covid. Some doctors think from their anecdotal evidence it will be rare, but others say it’s too soon to say. There is no actual data on it yet. google.com/amp/s/www.nbcn…

I have loved the olympics all my life. But I don’t know if the best way to celebrate our athletes is to put their lives at risk.
A year and a half in, and the resounding messsge I am getting from the world on Covid is that individual lives do not matter, on the survival of systems - corporations, governments, industries - matter.
If the Olympics survives, a few athletes with long Covid or worse, doesn’t seem to matter. If Amazon survives, a few dead warehouse workers doesn’t seem to matter. A GOP politician gets re-elected, what do a few of his constituents dying due to his vaccine scaremongering matter?

Hello! I would like to say a small word to people who are nervous about returning to activities post-vax. This is coming from somebody with chronic illnesses and high anxiety, so I want to prep you for some asshole behavior you may be about to encounter.
People with chronic illnesses know one thing very well: our sickness and caution around it makes a lot of people very uncomfortable! It makes people say things like “that seems paranoid!” Or “you worry too much!” Or “but that’s not a real thing!”
Here is the truth, they are not living in your body, and chances are, they do not know if the thing you are concerned about it is real, *they just do not like thinking it might be!*

Which is why so many of our richest people are ethical, law abiding citizens who never have even heard of a tax shelter in the Bahamas.
This “evolutionary psychologist” lady is giving an excellent example of how to double down on eugenics to the point that you yourself wouldn’t be classified with “the smart ones”
Guys if I ever wake up and decide to insist that poor people=stupid people=criminals, please do cancel me.

Hi, men? I’d like to teach you a simple phrase that’s very useful. It’s “why the fuck do you think it is in any way acceptable to show me that?”
You may consider yourself a good guy who would never share a nude, but if you do not say something like the above in this situation?
You are the smokescreen that hides these guys from the rest of us.
The reason rapists and revenge porn-ists and the easy-to-classify sexually assaulting Bad Guys do the things they do is because they are cruel and very messed up.

The reason they almost always get away with it is other guys who do nothing.
