Thank you for your hard work in hammering down all these dots in a straight line, Jessica. I Know it’s right (with your evidence), I Feel it’s right, and I am 100% serious about protecting my little family.
This was so incredibly difficult to see...so much evidence that we've all lived out in real time over the last 4 years...all in one spot strung together. It makes me ill and feel utter hopelessness. Genuine question - Our family qualifies for a few visas and while it sucks and it would be a massive undertaking/sacrifice, we can move out of here, but I am struggling to find info about where could be better as far as public health is concerned.
Good question. I'm not sure. European countries completely bungled Covid as well. We're just trying to hold down here in the states the best we can. There's a certain home advantage in understanding this crazy culture and how it operates. Finland is already rolling out H5N1 vaccines, which shows they still try.
Yes, that's the decision we are between right now home advantages with losses on many fronts including rights and economic OR go without home advantage, but other aspects of life greatly improved? It feels like an impossible decision.
That's a lot to unpack but it needed to be said. There is no doubt in my mind that the U.S. politicians have no intention of taking care of the people they are entrusted to take care of. Biden is more concerned about Israel and the Russians than pretty much anything else. This is why the people voted for a change but didn't get it.
There is no help coming from the government and it is high time the citizens start realizing that. If anything, they are working to stop anyone from helping the people. Biden will go down in history as one of the worst presidents in U.S. history, right next to his buddy, Trump.
100 percent. I think it's important to chronicle the failures of the outgoing administration for this very reason. People shouldn't be drinking down the lines. They either need to organize for change, and since that doesn't look likely at this point, they need to start protecting themselves, something I've been devoting more attention to in recent posts.
I am constantly furious about the incredible, deliberate screw ups of both the Trump and Biden administrations in managing the pandemic. In fact, the Biden administration has been worse. The actual death toll is 3-5x reported because of hiding and obfuscation of data. The disability cost is immense and will be far worse in the coming decades. RFK Jr. (not JFK, Jessica:))) may not be much worse because Zients, who should should be in the worst stink hole jail cell for multiple lifetimes, and his minions Walensky and Cohen have destroyed trust in public health because of egregious incompetence and deliberate cruelty. This garbage has spread to the rest of the world. And H5N1 is coming?? Hartmann is a fool, and God help us all. This could have been easily solved for less than 10% of a year’s defence budget, but no, GREED WINS. Excellent article, Jessica. Thank you.
Agreed. Fools all around. Thanks for the thumbs up. This one was a lot of work and pulls together even more work over the last four years. (I'll change the JFK slip.)
I have found a supportive community on Reddit- zero covid and of course long covid. I take an HIV anti viral for my lc. It helps. I had to beg Mayo. It’s expensive here. $400 a month.
Public health was killed in spring 2021. I quit my job in public health and took a job I did 20 yrs ago, and the cut in pay to get out of public health. Everyone I worked with left. It was a mass exodus. I don’t think anyone should go into public health in the usa. 🇺🇸 the public doesn’t want it, nor do the governors.
Let’s talk about the USA public and Deaths- likely caused by covid.
This week, a kitchen worker posted on “ off my chest” that 3 of their coworkers died this month. 3. One from a mysterious illness, one from sudden kidney disease and the last from pneumonia. The poor worker wanted to know how this could happen. Only I and one other person wrote covid. More than likely, these deaths were all covid related. Other people wrote things like mold, deaths come in 3’s and other nonsense.
In emergency medicine- providers were writing about children dying and going into cardiac arrest. No one knows why. 🤦🏽♀️ People in medicine have no clue what sarscov2 does to the human body. I should not know more about sars2 than people in medicine, but I do. I have only met one medical provider who knows more than I do. And he started the lc clinic in Rochester, mn.
People with lc are giving up…I have decided to say I have MS. The symptoms are the same as LC., and people know that ms is real illness. Lc is all in our heads. We need psychiatric help, not a test to look at our cytokines.
Anyway. I am still here. Still refuse to get covid again. Will be sleeping on the air mattress in the office this winter. My spouse behaves like it is 2019. As do his adult children and grandchildren. My son and I had thanksgiving by ourselves. We will do the same for Christmas.
Thanks for putting this together and laying it all out. This well documented, detailed rant puts the history of our massive bipartisan political and civic failure to handle the pandemic in unavoidably sad and tragic terms. It emphasizes how much actionable, remedial scientific knowledge there was each step of the way. Clearly Biden's responsibility was as bad, if not worse, than Trump's. My colleagues and I actually lived through this horror in real time, attentive and protesting what was going wrong each step of the way. Nonetheless, reading it compiled and summed up like this made me want to cry.
Thanks for this roundup of what happened during the pandemic. I followed it all at the time, but to have it put together in one place is helpful. I cannot say I see leaders taking any path forward other than denial unless the virus becomes much more virulent. That would be painful as the devastation until action taken would be overwhelming.
Me and my two children are doing the best we can but honestly going against the stream of nearly everyone in a society is a difficult road.

Well said. Protecting ourselves and each other is all we've got now.

I deleted my Twitter account, long ago.
