We're done. I am not going to orient my life around disease reduction for the rest of my life, or even just for a few months of the year, every year, just because you need something to give status and purpose to your life. We're done. Find yourself a better religion.
You don't have to keep saying you are a progressive...well, unless you are doing so in order to not be canceled. Actually, yep, that makes sense. Better keep saying it.
In line with Europe who are ahead of us and dropping mandates like flies. Not just because of midterms. In line with evidence of negative efficacy with variants published in Israel, UK and Denmark where they have better data. In line with lack of evidence supporting boosters and young children. In line with adverse event profile (sorry, unmentionable, I know!)
The only thing keeping Seattle public health from mandating us again is the mid-terms. I’m saving my stash of N95s because it’s a common belief the mask mandates will return in time for the holidays. And the health director is lobbying hard for booster mandates. If the real estate market wasn’t insane everywhere, I’d consider leaving for an area with more reasonable policies.
Amazingly, the masks have disappeared FAST once mandates were lifted. I really expected a longer off-ramp as people adjusted. It will be interesting to see how the population reacts when the mandates return.
God help us. God help us help ourselves! No one is going to save us but us. With God’s help, of course. Yeah, I’ve “found religion” again, or--at least--God. This whole thing shows me Good & Evil are really real. We are in spiritual warfare disguised as maybe...an information war, among other things. Anyway, thank you, Vinay.
Dear world,
We're done. I am not going to orient my life around disease reduction for the rest of my life, or even just for a few months of the year, every year, just because you need something to give status and purpose to your life. We're done. Find yourself a better religion.
Thank you.
I was double masked + distanced at my nephew's 7th birthday party this weekend. Oakland, CA.
Because health/safety. As the kids ingest their bodyweight in high fructose corn syrup.
"God help us", indeed.
