@gemelliz @the5thColumnist Yes, much the same in #Ottawa it seems. The clinic we were at is a general vaccination clinic, for "residents who face barriers to access on a drop-in basis". They offer #COVID19 and #flu vaccinations but as we're long time residents with an #ohip card and family doctor, we're low priority. @fordnation clearly believes #CovidIsOver so he can go back to pandering to his auto- and beer-loving base.
Off to the pharmacy for our booster, I guess.

I never had hidden weapons and never felt the need to prove it.
Now, when someone offers me their hand I hawk up a #Newsie style Spike Collins wad of lung cheese and spit it into my palm.
If they don't shake my hand their #COVIDIsOver bullshit is exposed.
My mom never got her energy back fully after her first confirmed infection. I tried to tell her it sounded like she was dealing with #LongCovid , but she insisted she was just tired from being busy.
This time, I insisted she rest as much as possible and tried to emphasize the importance of rest when infected with #Covid19.
On day 4, I called her to check in, and she was walking the dog. đ«
This whole time, since #VaxxedAndRelaxed and #CovidIsOver started becoming the dominant narrative, I've been trying so hard to educate my family on why they should use #LayersOfProtection and all of the risks of a covid infection - both long and short term.
They haven't really listened - though my mom wearing a mask to church when she felt sick was an improvement - and it's been exhausting.
@maleve so much vor "#CoViDiSOvEr!" ....
@antiaall3s @fr3nzin3 I just reply to people that claim "#CovidIsOver!": "And you propablybbelieve #Erath is a #Cube or #Tetraeder... Keep telling that lie to yourself longbenoug and you may actually believe it!"
While my mom was here, she masked up and respected my #CovidProtocols, and I only needed to remind or ask her a couple of times.
Considering my immediate family has totally abandoned masking, social distancing, and regular testing back home, I consider this a huge win for #CovidSafety.
Why? Because it tells me that a lot of people are willing to #MaskUp when asked and take #CovidPrecautions - but they've fallen into the #LetItRip trap and the #CovidIsOver narrative so they've given up precautions.
Is it exhausting, frustrating, and deeply upsetting when people fail to understand that we still need to #MaskUp on their own?
Yes.
Does it mean we stop having these conversations and give up all hope that people who have stopped masking will change?
No.
In the USA, âtwo Kentucky school districts cancel classes due to COVID-19 and widespread illnessesâŠâ report via The Washington Examiner, @dcexaminer.
Meanwhile, Covid-deniers would have everyone believe #CovidIsOver, when itâs plain to see, it isnât.

@currentbias There are hospitals that request staff to wear a mask for 10 days after any viral infection - great one thinks. No, unfortunately the patient automatically assumes the caregiver has Covid and is immediately upset and uncomfortable. What does this do, creates issues for immunocompromised staff to wear masks every day for their protection. The unfortunate repercussions of #covidisover is huge and so unfortunate. Iâm grateful I have the ability to continue to mask but so very sorry for those who would like to but donât want to be the âodd duckâ.
@wendynather I know more people whoâve caught it now than I ever did during the height of emergency. #COVID19 #COVIDIsOver
"I travel around the world to take photographs"
Me - DA-FUK?
Please remove your self proclaimed environmentalist crap then.
If you're a #photographer & not assigned, as part of your #essential work from a corporation that needs to exploit ppl over #GlobalHealth & acting like #CovidIsOver - please remove & block me. I don't want to be connected to folks who don't think about immunocompromised folks enough to stop selfish mindsets. No one NEEDS to fly anywhere to capture amazing photos.

I'm thinking I need to make a FAQ of a list of studies that shows covid asymptomatic transmission, tissue damage, immune system dysregulation, long covid percentages, mask studies, vaccine trial noise floors.
Make a handout to hand people, instead of having to go through a response when hearing "oh yeah, I've had #covid and it was no worse than a cold".
It's become tedious to enter into this little pointless "debate" when the other side just had their personal anecdotes. I have plenty of anecdotes, but I've also read a gazillion studies and abstracts at this point - not realizing there would be a pop quiz nearly every day.
There were times in the past few years when I thought "I maybe should collect this study in a folder with all of the others" but kept thinking people would eventually become more educated. How naive.
I would think I'm not the only person that's thought of doing this? Surely someone somewhere is keeping a list of such things? The routine "polite spontaneous casual debate" has gotten old, I want to go "here, read all of this and get back to me with your anti #masks #covidisover anti #vaccine #mildcovid garbage".
Has anyone who had Covid-19 found unprecedented hairless post illness?
@DenisCOVIDinfoguy I'm looking at the ABC's "Just In - The 250 most recent top stories" now. I only had to scroll to the 32nd article to find any mention of COVID in any headline... They've sidelined COVID to its own section, which nobody will check because #CoViDiSoVeR...
Fuck's sake.
Faszinierend. Heute auf einer Beerdigung gewesen. Rund 70 GĂ€st*innen. Durchschnittsalter wohl um die 70. Ich der einzige mit #Maske. #CovidIsOver #MaskeBleibtAuf
Should note, since our company doesn't give a shit about us at all, today the first day back in the newyear ALL employees must be at the office. Except we've got more people than available spots now because of remote work. So we're crammed in like sardines. I imagine a bunch of us are getting sick from this.
