While everyone is focused on “Meaghan,” the irrelevant & ableist individual who thinks people are overreacting, the President appointed the man who was the subject of the #ZientsMustGo campaign to the position of Chief of Staff. cnn.com/2023/01/22/pol…
“Zients’s personal wealth grew by between $10.4 million and $28 million in 2020 alone, and he has the largest net worth of any Biden administration official.” wsws.org/en/articles/20…
He doesn’t have a background in public health, medicine, or science, and they put him in charge of our Covid response. 💰

Now he’s the Chief of Staff.
Oh.
I made this thread recently, as most people are unaware former Cambridge Analytica psychologists have been advising Covid disinformation platforms since 2020, & Peter Thiel’s Palantir is still in charge of our public health data.

There is more to this than meets the eye.
2021: “Yet the man he has chosen as his White House coronavirus tsar is not a scientist, but rather a management consultant and investor known to former Obama staffers as ‘Mr Fix It’ for his ability to turn round failing government projects.” ft.com/content/b52ca2…
The Biden administration is going full steam ahead with “soft closing” the pandemic while the virus is still rapidly mutating, killing almost 4,000 Americans a week & disabling countless more. It’s *all* about business. The people will suffer as a result. History won’t be kind.
This appointment signals they’re moving forward with “Back to normal,” seamlessly returning us to our regularly scheduled class warfare. Covid will be openly ignored while The People are punished for demanding more rights during the Forever Pandemic. cnbc.com/2022/12/21/omn…
I think Democrats are GROSSLY underestimating how radicalizing it has been to be abruptly disabled by a deadly novel pandemic virus, then summarily abandoned by one’s government, gaslit, & silenced. So many of us are DONE with these people. Ableism isn’t allyship.

One of the more challenging aspects of this disease definitely has to be the way others believe it should unfold linearly. The ups & downs make people suspicious. They don’t understand the post-viral rollercoaster, managing & completing tasks one day, bed-bound the next.
Also, people think you’re RECOVERED if you string a few good days together. When you end up back in bed, you AREN’T TRYING hard enough. You’re lazy, co-dependent, & attention seeking, in need of tough love, instead of accommodations & help. It’s just all so BRUTAL.
I regularly push myself to the breaking point just doing the bare minimum, & it’s been 3 years since my 1st infection. People get frustrated because it’s never enough. Media tells us people can expect steady improvement & an eventual recovery in 1 year or less. This is fantasy.

I think one of the reasons I isolate & avoid communication is because so much of the communicating I do with those I already know makes me feel SO BAD. I’m guilted & shamed, urged to return to normal—as if there’s a hurry—in order to temporarily ease their own fears & discomfort.
My priorities have COMPLETELY changed since I got sick, & people can’t understand it. They encourage me to “grind! accumulate! achieve!” when I’m chronically ill, physically feel like I’m dying, & there’s an ongoing pandemic. The pressure, shame, & exasperation shuts me down.
People refuse to acknowledge all the horrific new information we are learning about Covid’s long-term effects, so they toss out alternative explanations for my medical problems to soothe themselves. It’s more than I can handle. After 3 long years, I’m tired of defending myself.

As the high-profile heart attack deaths continue, remember:

“The spikes in heart attack deaths have tracked with surges of COVID infection—even during Omicron…The data showed the increase was most significant among individuals ages 25-44…” cedars-sinai.org/newsroom/covid…
“By the second year of the pandemic, the dramatic increases in heart attacks blew apart the models used to predict how many people would lose their lives to these events.” sacbee.com/news/local/hea… Sacramento Bee: “U.S. death...
This is occurring internationally.

“COVID-19 infection worsens pre-existing heart conditions, and increases the risk of developing more than 20 heart conditions including heart attack, blood clots, heart failure and stroke.” smh.com.au/national/fatal…

I’ve had a lot of post-Covid cognitive issues, but being unable to keep up with communication is the worst. I still don’t check emails/DMs or answer phone calls. I don’t know if it’s trauma or brain-related, but I have checked out entirely. I’m indifferent to it. It’s so weird.
I used to be a pretty social person, but now I isolate. I used to take care of business, but now I avoid it all. I’m completely numb. My hunch is it’s brain-related, because the changes were so sudden & occurred back in 2020, post-Covid. I don’t even know what to CALL it.
I became a completely different person after I got sick in 2020–my personality changed. I had a lot of SIGNIFICANT brain issues post-Covid—like forgetting how to operate devices & navigate in a vehicle. It was disabling, but it was never addressed. I’ve never seen neurology.

Evidently we’re doing “Don’t worry, it’s mild” again.

You’ll note the elite are allowed to work and recover from home; but for the working class, the pandemic is over. sfchronicle.com/health/article… San Francisco Chronicle: Co...
Here’s a lengthy thread of all the horrible things that occur after “mild” cases. There is no shortage of data proving Covid is never mild.

Mild Covid = endless new medical diagnoses involving every organ system, and 10x more likely to experience death.

Covid deaths increased 44% in the last week, after a month of hospitals surpassing pandemic-record capacity, but the articles dominating the national Covid conversation contend we are overcounting Covid deaths.

This is not a coincidence. fortune.com/well/2023/01/1…
When I try to find info about U.S. Covid deaths, I get 4-5 articles about China, immediately followed by 3-4 articles by Leanna Wen & friends, and articles about her articles. She has been consistently wrong for 3 years now, XBB is homegrown, & saving lives isn’t the goal here.
“New Covid hospital admissions are now at the fourth-highest rate of the pandemic, according to the US CDC…

‘Hospitals are at maximum capacity…I’m not sure what the trajectory of this thing’s going to be, but I am worried.’” theguardian.com/world/2023/jan…
