i hope americans know about the unjust, unfair system that allowed them to get vaccines so early. while young and healthy ppl in the us decide which day of the week is more convinient to get a shot, the majority of the world can’t even secure vaccines for their elders.
it’s not “effort” it’s no “innovation”. its just modern imperialism.

Tilda Swinton has Long Covid.
She has neurological symptoms. She can't remember things. She is retiring from acting because of this. Please take the Long Covid risk seriously. It can happen to anyone. Link to article

The strike down of the transportation mask mandate is just another message from abled people that disabled people don't matter. When people say "wear a mask if you want to, what's the problem?" The problem is masks are more effective in preventing sick or asymptomatic people from transmitting the disease. It's less effective as just a personal protection.
Furthermore the masks were lifted while people were already on planes, so if someone felt safe in a masked plane, suddenly didn't have that without any warning. I know masks mandates can't last forever, and I get nauseous from masks especially in the hot summer humidity. However that discomfort saves lives. I'm sick an tired of rules relaxing and then surges happening.
Disabled people are just never a part of the conversation, and if we are were just talked about rather than involved in the discussion.
