I gave Bubby a private screening of #ShotInTheArm and she sat spellbound for 90 minutes.

Then she gave me her review:
1. “You’re in it a lot!”

I nod.

“Also when you’re sick, you’re in it.”

I nod.

“You look terrible there.”

I nod.

“Your dining room likes very nice.”
2. “Who is the grauer (gray one?)”

Me: Del Bigree

Bubby: Why does he shray (scream) like a vilde chaya (wild animal?”

I shrug.

Bubby: “Er iz nisht normal.”
3. “It was excellent,” Bubby praises.

She pauses.

“They’re all oomcivilizeert,” she concludes.

For a screening DM me.

I am heading home to NY now.

And I have a little secret:

I am not afraid of getting sick with COVID. I had COVID, I am vaccinated, I am boosted.

If I get COVID, all the evidence points to my not getting severely ill.

Here’s what scares me: getting Long COVID.

1/ Image
I am not only the recipient of vaccine-related questions from friends and strangers around the world.

I am also the recipient of numerous panicked messages from people with ongoing debility after recovering from COVID.

This terrifies me.

2/
The main issues I see and hear about, and are data-confirmed, are

1: Neuro. Brain fog, memory problems, psychiatric issues. Many of these people are no longer able to work, and their quality of life is reduced

I just tried to check in for my @JetBlue flight to NY tomorrow to find out it was cancelled… and I was never informed.

An 80-minute phone wait later, and I spent $256 for a 1-way ticket instead, on another airline.

This is really bad service.

What happens when I check in: it shows an EARLIER flights with a STOPOVER. Image

A 🧵 with a point:

Many of you know I lost my beloved brother to brain cancer three years ago.

He was diagnosed at age 22, died at 32. Until the last year of his life, he had all of his faculties; he even became a pilot as a hobby, cleared by an FAA physician. He has 3 sons.
One year before he died, he tried immunotherapy, which caused inflammation (which is what it does), and inflammation in the brain causes brain damage.

He lost his speech.

He lost his right side.

He lost his peripheral vision.

But his cognition remained perfect.
For years, every Purim, his best friends would show up to my family’s afternoon Purim party. They told my brother it was for my moms ribs and wine, but it was also to lift his spirits (and have ribs and wine).

Today at the cancer clinic:

Me: I notice you’re not vaccinated… are you afraid?

Her: Yeah, too many questions. I figured I’d wait to see what happens.

Me: I understand. I hope you stay safe! You do have some health issues that would make you high risk for severe COVID.
Her: Oh, I caught COVID.

Me: Oh. I guess you did ok then?

Her: Wellll I was in the hospital actually for a bit. Trouble breathing.

Me: oh my. Well, I’m glad you’re alright! Hopefully it provided you with some immunity.

Her: Not really. I had it twice.

Me: —-
Her: yeah, and in hospital twice.

Me: Wow. Well… I like to think you won’t catch it a THIRD time… but do you have any questions about the vaccine that I could maybe answer?

Her: Nah, they said it’s really dangerous.

Me: who is they?

Her, vaguely gesturing: You know, they.

Be very angry. And do something with your anger.

Pay attention, believe survivors, speak up, donate, demand change, talk to your children. Demand more of frum journalism, of rabbis, of leaders, of yourself.

Also, don’t attend the funerals of rapists.
1. Donate: to @ZAAKAHNY, the only organization that has NOT silenced survivors and attempted to prevent legal recourse for survivors.

2. Email:
Inbox@mishpacha.com
Info@amimagazine.org
Editor@yated.com

Demand that rape and Walder be discussed
3. Speak up, and yes, use hashtags as recommended by @alexfleksher. This may show survivors that you’re safe and you will believe them.

4. Demand that the rav of your shul discuss Walder THIS week.

5. Work on yourself to believe survivors. Testimony is evidence.

Where did the line “vaccinated people transmit COVID just like unvaccinated people” stem from?

A study that found that AT A SINGLE POINT IN TIME vaccinated people had an equal viral load of the virus in their noses as unvaccinated people.

1/x medscape.com/viewarticle/96…
Then, as delta surged and breakthrough cases increased, the CDC acknowledged that vaccinated people CAN transmit COVID.

Multiple studies found that vaccinated people were NOT as infectious & did NOT shed the virus like unvaxxed people, but people conveniently ignore that.

2/x
Now there’s this:

“The number of transmissions from unvaccinated controls was three times higher than from fully vaccinated patients. Fully vaccinated showed a lower viral load, less frequent symptoms, and, above all, a significantly reduced risk of transmission."
