Since tragic stories of massive waves of illness among children is falling on deaf ears, perhaps inspiring successful stories of minimizing #sars2 infections may gain traction.

I’ll start. Since August 22’, there have been no #sars2 outbreaks at my children’s school 🧵
To the best of our knowledge, none of us have gotten infected with #sars2. All 3 children attend a school that has radically overhauled its ventilation system - more outside air, filtration and UV lights where needed. The result is a school with children and teachers thriving. 2/
We moved half-way across the world from the Netherlands to the United States to escape the @rivm @MinVWS and @MinPres deliberate mass infection with #sars2 utilizing schools as the primary vehicle of spread. We refused to be part of the on-going Dutch tomfoolery. 3/

I have this suspicion that there is an overwhelming silent majority who are not okay with the fictional narrative that “corona is over”, of the mass delusion that we can resume normality ignoring the real and present danger of #sars2. It takes immense strength to speak out.

1/
The #inconvenienttruth is the majority of us do not have agency over our own lives. We rely on a pay check to afford the basic necessities and pleasures. We’re social creatures who need connection with others, in person.

2/
It takes immense privilege to shelter from home, to opt out of the neoliberal’s mass infection policy making it impossible to not be exposed to #sars2 . Radical self-reliance locking out the world is a luxury most of us cannot afford.

#COVID19 testing before flights makes a difference. It is an extra added layer of protection like masks and vaccination. No pre boarding tickets ensures #massdisabling events on planes because morally bankrupt people will travel while infected.

1/
There was a significant difference between flying to the US that required preboarding testing than returning to Germany— it was impossible to sleep on the red eye flight with passengers violently coughing throughout the flight.

People will fly sick. 2/

Flying overall is problematic, should be made prohibitively more expensive, and public health protocols implemented. It’s a major contributor to our #globalclimatecrisis. It’s the reason why #COVID19 seeded and why #monkeypox is spreading.

Does anyone realize that because of the universal mass infection policies of neoliberal countries, the vast majority of us no longer have access to safe healthcare? That our collective refusal to wear a mask to protect one another comes with the steep price of shortened lives? 🧵
We’ve traded in, at best, 10 life years for the instant gratification of drinking at bars, eating in restaurants, and mindlessly consuming. Was it worth it to massively ignore our health, that of our loved ones, our neighbors, our community? 2/
We’ve reached the point of our healthcare infrastructure collapsing; our healthcare workers are burnt out beyond exhaustion, bone-dead-can’t-keep-their-eyes-open tired, leaning far too long on their resilience to give us care.

If the NL cared about “education”, they would implement protections against #sars2 infections to ensure that children and teachers are safe. Sick children cannot learn and sick teachers can’t teach.

The refusal of @MinOCW is violence against children and teachers.

1/
Compulsory attendance in the NL serves one purpose — to ensure childcare facilities so two-income households can continue enriching special interests groups. They’ll squander their health for barely earning a living wage and go on cheap sun holidays.

2/
Decades of not investing in education as well as lowering salaries and entrance requirements has created a generation of teachers ill equipped to handle the complex dynamics of pandemic life.

Suffice to say, it’s not society’s best and brightest teaching children here.

No I am not ok. Are any of us really? To exist in our current neoliberal societies means to accept the mass psychosis that Covid-19 is harmless, to ignore the climate catastrophe on our doorstep, and the countless mass human atrocities happening in Ukraine. To thrive in…
1/x
in this cruel, inhumane environment is to ignore our conscience, our humanity. To become deaf to the ongoing pain, heartache and devastation of our Ukrainian neighbors, to blind ourselves and turn back from the images of pure evil, so we can continue posting our best life.

No, I am not ok. I am awash in grief and in fear every single day, trying my best to keep my children safe, free from disease, and to have a stable home environment to learn, to play and to grow. I own my immense privilege of being able to do so…

Note to self — Infection is not a moral failing; nor is getting #longcovid.

I just found out an American expat mom who berated me for criticizing the Dutch mass infection policy and lack of protections in schools has longcovid and so does her child.
1/x
It’s hard to muster sympathy for someone who tried to publicly humiliated me; for presenting me as a poorly informed, over-anxious mom in front of a group of (professional) peers. And trying to supress my knee-jerk, awful reaction that her health issues are well-deserved.

2/
Except her ignorance and now consequent health issues is a direct result of putting her blind trust in the Dutch government. Her basic intelligence and lack of language familiarity made her a victim like everyone else. What agency did she have to protect her and her family?
