The way certain guys wear masks makes me very concerned about how they wear contraception, if at all. pic.twitter.com/bCbvcMEHgN

Pretty sure that’s not a real concern here.

OF COURSE WE SHOULD ALL GET VACCINATED. But please for the love of god be honest about whether or not it prevents long-haul Covid-19 and acknowledge that the destruction of quality of life it can cause can be debilitating!! Especially if you already have another chronic illness!!

The vaccines prevent long-haul Covid because they prevent infection. Confirmed for two, probably true of all of them. In cases where a vaccine does not prevent infection, in most people only the respiratory epithelial cells are infected and the virus does not infect any other body tissues before the immune system fights it off. This is why some people (rare cases) can still spread Covid while experiencing no symptoms even after vaccination.
Your worries are almost certainly unfounded and will reduce vaccine uptake, too. Good work. Keep on.
(Caveat: No vaccine is 100% effective and never will be. Life is a risk. Such it is and ever shall be until we are all in the ground, which is also certain.)
Tiger Virus
Went for a walk, and I'd say my neighborhood is at about 5% masking
I hate it here

Why, fucking why, are so many people worried about folks not wearing masks outside? The chance of catching Covid outside from an unmasked person with incidental contact is basically non-existent. In the US especially, you are far more likely to be struck by a car.
Libs claim to be rational, but I really do think they imagine the virus chases them and stuff, like it’s a tiger or other predator and it’s sprinting after them down the street. Otherwise, why would you think like this?
GV
Take a vaccine selfie. Post it everywhere. Be unironically excited. Rejoice publicly. Help others book appointments. This is a huge moment! Don't yuck people's vaccine yum! https://t.co/kr0V0X8E1W

Yeah, need to do everything possible to fight the liberal doleful dirge of dispirited doomsaying that’s likely to greatly reduce vaccine uptake.
Need to remake the song made famous by Judy Garland, “Get Happy,” except change it to “Get Vaxxy” and have people dancing around with others after post-vaccination immunity period hits.
Someone should pay me for this shit.
HAES of Lies
Pfizer vaccine may be less effective in people with obesity, says study.
Shocking no one except Fat Acceptance failmasters. HAES is again shown to be complete BS. This will be true for all the vaccines, by the way. Obesity just makes you in general more fragile.
Schole
Why Ventilation Is a Key to Reopening Schools Safely.
Now that is a good sim that shows why airflow and ventilation in general is so important for preventing Covid spread — something we knew about infection for a long time but “forgot” when all the quant-y types took over the world.
No 3
So let's talk about why I say J&J is a superb vaccine
1. It prevented 100% of hospitalizations/deaths after it had a chance to work
2. It was tested against SA and Brazil variants (Moderna/Pfizer weren't)
3. It was tested during much higher level of community transmission

That looks great. Yeah, there is going to be no third massive surge. The doom-shouters are wrong, the models are wrong.
I am right.
Wrong Cowen
First vaccine to fully immunize against malaria builds on pandemic-driven RNA tech.
How much of the so-called Great Stagnation was due to predatorial neoliberalism and disinventives to real research and investment is becoming very, very clear.
Illegal Info
— emmi (@emmibevensee) February 27, 2021
Where you been at? That’s already started. Have you seen what’s been happening to sex workers with SESTA/FOSTA, Tumblr, PornHub, and other places for years?
Those were the initial feints to see how successful they could be — and it turns out, very! So the next phase is starting now. I expect much less accurate and verifiable info to be available online in a decade, and for it to become much harder to get anything other than the official narrative. All, strangely, cheered on every step of the way by so-called liberals.
Turn Vax
It is only a matter of time before we turn on the unvaccinated.
Good. In some instances, ostracism and shaming works. This is one of those instances.
