Heading: "COVID 6 Year Anniversary" Text reads: "March 11 marks 6 years since the WHO declared COVID a global pandemic. Since March 11, 2020, we have suffered over 7 million unnecessary deaths and over 777 million cases of Long COVID worldwide. We’ve also borne witness to the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. Here in the United States, we watch money that we pay in taxes, now over 20 billion dollars, sent without restrictions and spent on the bombing of schools, hospitals, and press, in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and now Iran." Teal People's CDC logo in top right corner

"We’ve seen war rage in the Congo and Sudan–the result of capitalist extractivism. We’ve seen our country devolve into authoritarianism, with the current administration committing extrajudicial killings at home, in the Caribbean, and now in the eastern Pacific. We’re now witnessing the starvation of the Cuban people with a decades-long blockade that’s escalated and intensified, and the pursuing of regime changes by military intervention in Venezuela and Iran. We’re watching ICE kidnap, detain, and murder our neighbors. We’ve seen historically devastating storms with catastrophic and deadly wind and flooding. We’ve seen skies turn blood red and air quality turn toxic as wildfires ripped through Boreal forests and smoldered in permafrost." Teal People's CDC logo in bottom right corner

"Six years of preventable illness and death, increasing authoritarianism, environmental devastation, and war. Meanwhile, we have continued to work, to love, to learn, to raise our children, to care for our loved ones, to buy our groceries, to grow, to fight. Let us all take a breath."

A message on the 6 year anniversary of WHO's designation of COVID as a global pandemic.

March is Long Covid awareness month, and one thing you should probably be aware of is no matter how back to normal you are, you are at risk of complications from Covid, including LC. And those excess death numbers aren’t great either.

White and colored gradient square graphic from WHO European region. Black text reads "long Covid has not disappeared. People continue to develop the condition after new Covid-19 infections"

WHO European region graphic with woman pictured outside on a swing, her back is to the camera. Caption (truncated): Bára, 43, teacher and crisis counsellor from Czechia, loved her happy, busy life as a mother of two and with an inspiring profession. She contracted her 3rd case of COVID-19 in the spring of 2025. Since then, she has been house-bound due to severe fatigue and heart

WHO European region graphic with gradient pastel background and a white block with black text that says "This myth uses discrediting and oversimplification by claiming Long COVID is "a thing of the past". It reduces a complex, ongoing health issue to a false, easy-to-share statement. It sticks because the message provides comfort by suggesting the threat is already over."

For all those who call us "Covid doomers" for continuing to post about the harms of long Covid - just know that the @who.int also posted yesterday about how this crisis isn't over

I really don’t see a worse red flag for how things are going to go with the concentration camps than a very recent issue where people insisted, loudly and publicly, that their need for coffee shops and concerts superseded vulnerable people’s right to life.

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study.

The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

Today's CDC update confirms the validity of last week's reported spike in Minnesota. Levels are falling quickly but remain "Very High." 🙃

Bhattacharya has a job to do. That job is not public health.

I often see this insult towards #COVID advocates (usually @ someone w Long COVID):

"You make your whole personality about COVID!"

Would you say that to cancer survivors? People who organize walks for breast cancer or mental health?

"You make depression your whole personality"? Like what the fuck.

Write Congress to Restore $600 million of CDC Cuts! While this public health funding is in limbo, with a judge granting a 2-week restraining order on terminations, its up to Congress to take back the power of the purse!

These artists are making concerts safer with COVID-19 precautions - The Sick Times While most of the music industry has moved on, COVID-conscious performers have been working to prevent their shows from being superspreaders.

For @thesicktimes.org, I looked at the state of COVID safety in live music and how artists and event producers can still protect themselves and audiences thesicktimes.org/2026/02/17/t...

I’m going to say again, infecting your allies with a potentially debilitating and deadly illness is extremely foolish behavior in any kind of movement. You’re doing work for the other guys.

ICE just showed up at our house for the second day in a row. Four cars yesterday, today five. They rolled up slow, then got out to taunt us, and take pictures of the house. They want fear to overwhelm us, to project a fantasy of power meant to intimidate, isolate, produce obedience—not happening.

Sick leave?
Respiratory protection?

We *must* accept respiratory protection as part of our “new 💩 normal”.

Look I know this is going to be hard here but rigid adherence to lies about Covid is going to push you to the right. It has to. The eugenicist ideas that we can abandon the vulnerable and that vaccine mandates and lockdowns weren’t necessary because only “those people” died can never be democratic.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
