"Having never been able to trace the initial illness, Ray has had to make peace with the fact that she will likely never know what caused the infection" (* in the 7th year of an #OngoingPandemic of an injurious #AirborneVirus, that is) -

Despite warnings from many scientists.

The authors of this piece downplay Jacobsen’s concerns with "Fear can also blind us to solutions".

We've certainly seen that play out with an #OngoingPandemic of an injurious #AirborneVirus, now in its 7th untrammelled year).

Maybe all governments, still ignoring an #OngoingPandemic of a probable #Oncogenic, #AirborneVirus, now in its 7th unmitigated year, might have something to do with this?

#MaskUp

Same goes for those raising awareness about an #OngoingPandemic ignored by all governments. We need to stop siloing #ClimateChange from public health emergencies; the former is caused by greed, the latter leads to fascism.

And so here we are -

Respectfully, it would be nice if you could first put the current #ongoingPandemic to bed, before (performatively) deflecting attention to the next one.

* From someone now in their 7th year of living with #LongCOVID.

Denial of #ClimateChange groomed us for denial of an #OngoingPandemic, which groomed us for #Fascism (historically ushered in by pandemics) - & @columjournreview.bsky.social would like to know how they should cover "the climate story"?

Properly.

An #OngoingPandemic still ignored by all governments, with most of the public & medical community still assuming #LongCOVID is psychosomatic, while actuaries & health insurers tell another story, as do gaping holes in the labour force, & rising levels of chronic illness & disability.

"Here’s the thing, though: when people connect what’s happening to why it’s happening, their support for all sorts of climate action grows" -

* Same goes for an #OngoingPandemic all governments continue to ignore.

Governments continue to downplay the high cost of ignoring an #OngoingPandemic (again, because votes), while scrabbling to explain chronic school absenteeism, a shrinking labour pool, increased levels of chronic & autoimmune diseases, & a marked increase in people getting sicker, younger.
