I have been on this cursed app for over 15 years. I lost my personhood when Covid permanently disabled me in my 30s in 2020, & the US government abandoned me.

    The Merck Manual admits SARS-CoV-2, like HIV, causes lymphocytopenia. “Patients with lymphocytopenia experience recurrent infections or develop infections with unusual organisms.” Though “the cause is not completely understood,” we carried on with Forever Reinfections anyway.
    Merck Manual: Patients with COVID-19 also frequently have lymphocytopenia (35 to 83% of patients) (2). Lower lymphocyte counts portend a poor prognosis and an increased likelihood of requiring ICU admission and of dying from the disease. The cause of the lymphocytopenia is not completely understood, but COVID-19 can directly infect lymphocytes, and a cytokine-related apoptosis of the cells is likely.

    So, monkeypox—a virus that can cause blindness, disfigurement, extreme complications, & death—has been reported on at least 5 college campuses & in county jails. It’s also infecting kids. There is no plan for fall/winter. We cannot accept doing nothing.

    “In New York, a mother with no history of drug use lost custody of her toddler & newborn for 5 months after she tested positive for fentanyl that the hospital had given her in her epidural.” This state-sanctioned violence inflicts a very specific form of trauma that people don’t

Hospitals Gave Patients Meds During Childbirth, Then Reported Them For Positive Drug Tests
Mothers were reported after they were given medications used routinely for pain or in epidurals, to reduce anxiety or to manage blood pressure during cesarean sections.

    I’ve paid almost $30,000 on a $20,000 student loan from 2006. My balance is $24,000. I never missed a payment, & only entered forbearance recently. I filed for student loan forgiveness. Regardless of whether it is approved, I am never making a payment again. I don’t care anymore.

    Americans with student loans are out here begging people to listen because we are spending DECADES paying on these loans, but the balances never move. I have paid my entire loan balance from 2006 + $10,000, & I still owe more than the original loan. THIS IS CALLED USURY, & it is

    A “mild” case of Covid completely destroyed my life. To this day, I have not been hospitalized. Hearing media describe breakthrough cases as “mild” is HIGHLY OFFENSIVE. What part of “LongCovid is disabling” don’t people understand? How can we just allow everyone to get infected?

    People are testing positive on rapid tests but their bosses are requiring PCR tests. They can’t find anyplace to get a PCR test, so they go to work with Covid. We are going to disable the entire population, & we won’t know until it’s too late. I can’t believe this is real life.

    So again, New York Covid hospitalizations have surpassed Delta’s peak, no one is masking, there’s a Covid media blackout, and it’s only October. Have a great day.

    Imagine: You’re in your mid-30s, doing mid-30s things. One day, you get sick. You almost die, & it doesn’t go away. You’re now disabled. Other people report dying & becoming disabled by the same illness, while still others accuse the sick of lying. It’s chaos for a time.

    I don’t want to live in a country that has all the money in the world for cops and war, but no money for public health and healthcare for all. There is no future in this. None.

    When people finally realize they’re being manipulated—that repeated Covid infections cause permanent organ damage & autoimmunity, dramatically shorten life spans, exacerbate all pre-existing issues, & lead to a markedly decreased quality of life—they’re going to be furious.

    The number of Americans who are covertly living in storage units because they cannot afford rent is extremely alarming. There is an entire corner of TikTok reserved for those navigating storage unit living. These are people with jobs & degrees, & they used to have homes…

    When you see articles claiming Covid is affecting people in ways no one could have predicted, please remember *all of this* was predicted, but we listened to economists & corporations instead.
