You can't "boost" your immune system to fight off the common cold or the flu. The supplements you see, like vitamin C, zinc, or elderberry, don't actually help with the common cold. In fact, elderberry has been found to be detrimental to your recovery when you get a cold. There's no such thing as "boosting your immune system," because if you did, you'd have what we call in the medical field an autoimmune disease.

Your immune system is a highly regulated machine that works inside your body; it controls how you respond, how much you respond, when you respond, and when it comes to infection. And don't forget that the supplement industry has lobbied the federal government so that they don't have to provide evidence for their claims. So if they say it "supports immune function," that literally means it has an ingredient that has some evidence that it might help, and those studies they mention don't even have to be in humans. So, if you do get sick with a cold or the flu, make sure to wear a mask and do whatever makes you feel comfortable. You don't need to take supplements to "boost your immune system" - it's not going to help or do anything.

The risk-benefit ratio of covid for capitalism is simple: they are willing to risk as many poor lives as possible in order to return to the wage labor machine!

La relación riesgo-beneficio del COVID para el capitalismo es simple: ¡están dispuestos a arriesgar la vida de tantas personas pobres como sea posible con tal de volver a la maquinaria del trabajo asalariado!

The process of being able to investigate whether you have long COVID is not only hard and ableist in itself like other processes, but it also carries the stigma and oppression of the system itself of not wanting to see the consequences of being infected with a virus that destroys you and that leads to more violence and gaslighting.

Smoke isn't going anywhere, we can't eliminate it from the Earth, so I guess we have to let people smoke in schools, daycares, long-term care, and hospitals, right? Because if we can't eliminate something completely, we make sure it's everywhere. That's how absurd it sounds when people say that nothing can be done about COVID.

Many of you feel solidarity with me for the pain and new disabilities that I have. What if I told you that you can make there be less disability and death in your community? That you can prevent someone else or yourself from having the same thing that I have?

Everything that is supposedly caused by stress: If you can figure out the real cause, you get a Nobel Prize. And this is not to say that stress is not horrible for the human body, because it is, but I really think that we tend to overestimate the role of stress in diseases, and if we don't know the explanation for why something is happening to us physiologically, the default answer is that it is because of stress. This, unfortunately, prevents us from looking for other possible explanations that have been explored and ruled out, and that is so far from what the status quo is today.

Es un mito que se pueda sacrificar la seguridad de un grupo marginado para liberar a otro. Al negociar la muerte de otro pueblo, se sientan las bases para la propia.

It is a myth that the safety of one marginalized group can be sacrificed to liberate another. As you negotiate the death of another people, you are laying the groundwork for your own.

You don't have to wait for Covid to make you disabled to worry about it. Don't let normalization make you put your body in danger again and again. You and your community deserve care. Let's wear masks. Let's fight eugenics.

You don't need to give up part of your life, but rather value the lives the state says are lesser. You need to rethink what life means to you and whether it relates to the vision the system tells you you should have of freedom and life. Wearing a mask is valuing life, it is hope, it is caring.

Wearing a mask is the radical idea that social murder is not legitimate.

Capitalism repeatedly fosters a culture of insecurity and, literally, of sacrificing your life for capital. When people talk about workplace safety, road safety, or protection against infections like COVID, others often interpret your responsibility toward preventing harm as a form of fear or obsession.

Wear a mask. You don't know who is one infection away from dying or being disabled by COVID.

The denialism we experience from COVID on the left worries me because it is a good measure of how we will react to larger crises in the future.

The Greatest COVID-19 Misconception

You probably don't want to be part of keeping disabled people at home, but you also don't want to avoid it by using prevention methods such as a respirator.

By not wanting to, but also not avoiding it, you make spaces unsafe for immunocompromised people.

Most people who don't wear masks have no idea how the coronavirus spreads or what the long-term consequences are. I'm not even saying that you should do research on the topic. Just listening to people who have long-term Covid will seem more than enough to fight COVID.

If you are an activist against oppression and do not wear a mask: you either don’t truly understand the harm you are causing or you are choosing to ignore disabled people. Here’s an explanation.

RFK Jr.'s "MAHA" movement doesn't want to eliminate chronic illness. They want to eliminate the chronically ill.

There is a difference between the biological end of a pandemic and the social end of a pandemic.
We have seen this difference quite clearly, as our society has "returned to normal" even while we continue to endure wave after wave of illness, disabilities, and deaths from COVID.
