@NanoBookReview @PacificNic @Brad

Kids are dying of strep throat this year, but you've not heard about it. Why is that?

I'm old enough to remember when we *would not talk about cancer* in the Midwest.

Some dramedy movie in the nineties, I think, played this for laughs. Heartland woman visits the East Coast and is visibly staggered at the casual cancer talk.

That sort of culture shock is what I'm trying to provoke with #AirborneAIDS and #CovidAIDS.

Which are all the rage on Twitter, btw.

@PacificNic @Brad

Okay, but just because we can get these, alright, *Acquire* these vulnerabilities ...

... in our bodies' disease-fighting sys-, alright, *Immune* systems ...

... which become less capable, alright, more *Deficient* ...

... all of which makes for a cluster, alright, a *Syndrome* of, yes, I already SAID vulnerabilities ...

... that doesn't mean it's *AIDS* ...

Why not?!

Because we're NOT GAY, okay!?

Wenn ich Pat., die wegen Langzeitfolgen einer Infektion zu mir kommen, sage, dass die Immunsupprimierung so lange anhält und sie sich auch jederzeit wieder neu infizieren und erkranken können (hatte innerhalb von 4 Wochen mit 2 verschiedenen Varianten) und ich die FFP2 Maske nicht trage, weil es ein cooles Accessoire ist, gibt es welche, die sagen, dass sie keine Lust haben, sich von mir belehren zu lassen.

Wenn ich #AirborneAIDS schreibe, werde ich bestimmt wieder gesteingt.

Until last night, virtually every Covid post I've seen here that contained a reference or comparison to HIV/AIDS was coming from Twitter (bird.makeup) ... through @Charlotteshhhh's account.

I know because I tried to spot and boost every one of them.

Now it looks like the API that made tweets viewable here has been pulled.

So that'll be interesting to watch.

They covered up germ warfare experiments.
They covered up asbestos.
They covered up leaded paint.
They covered up leaded fuel.
They covered up smoking.
They covered up AIDS.
They covered up climate change.

And they're covering up covid.

"They'd tell us if it was as bad as you say."

Don't make me laugh. They didn't tell us about smoking, asbestos, AIDS, lead paint, or pretty much any other noxious thing you could name.

It all came from below, from the people, and from unions.

Enumerating the parts here.

(1) "If the entire infected population is affected by immune deficiency ..." (@mathew1927)

(2) As an example: "... a good chunk of people still somehow think the only people catching SARS-CoV-2 are the unvaxxed." (@PacificNic)

Any other larger parts then?

(1) The facts, if true, and (2) the stage they have play out on.

-

Besides (3), the unknown?

@PacificNic

I started trying to provoke people at the beginning of the month. It's a small sample size I have to work with, but, I thought the response was strangely muted. Favorites instead of boosts. Some from people whom I'd have allowed to correct me, if they'd seen fit.

I found a couple of barely used hashtags, #AirborneAIDS and #CovidAIDS, and put them to work.

So I've laid down my markers. On Mastodon, anyway. Apparently plenty of folks were already on those hashtags on Twitter.

If it's not that stereotypical caricature of Southern racism, it's not racist.

If it doesn't check all the boxes of classic WWII Nazism, it's not fascist.

If it's not unwarranted or pointless from the perspective of religious adults, it's not abuse.

-

And so,

if it's not tainted by the cruelty of homophobic stigma,

we can't say it's an acquired immune deficiency syndrome.

Right?

For all the silence and denial around AIDS in the 80's, when the news finally broke was anybody as cravenly mealy-mouthed about it as this?

(h/t @currentbias)

"Studies have shown that repeat infections can increase the risk of long-term health effects including long COVID and organ failure.

'If you're talking about sort of risks of long COVID development, absolutely, we need to do a little bit more work there,' Wolfe said."

Starting to see more direct Covid/HIV/AIDS comparisons in my timeline now.

Had a conversation the other day with the first person (afaik) on Mastodon to hashtag #AirborneAIDS.

And learned that over on Twitter they've been using that tag and the HIV comparison since last year. Though a lot more so recently.

Which, granted, they're in a bigger conference than the fediverse. Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow, and all that.

Anyway, #CovidAIDS #Covid19 #Covid #LongCovid

#AirborneAIDS

A. A mechanism by which (1) a virus produces (2) an infection which leads to (3) an immune deficiency will vary between viruses. Obvs.

B. Pedants please stand down. We get that you can't "catch" AIDS. Thank you.

C. Telling uneducated people that outhouses attract evil water spirits is defensible if gets them to dig their wells far away.

D. So is spreading the notion that Covid causes AIDS. Meanwhile non-homophobes can grasp the science easily enough.

Long Covid is Airborne AIDS. Pass it on.

#Covid #LongCovid #AirborneAIDS

Time is ripe to leverage pervasive homophobia by re-framing Long Covid as Airborne AIDS.

—————

@1goodtern: The full list of opportunistic infections that are exploiting the damage left in the wake of Covid infections is starting to look tragic.

@nerodenc: It's basically every possible opportunistic infection.

Covid causes an Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome -- so it really is airborne AIDS

@jessicawildfire
this is truly a #phenomenal #resource

This section has 35 great links #threads #CovidPapers about #TCells #immuneSystem

Many I’ve seen before, but to have it organized in one place is #priceless #gold

#airborneAIDS is extremely controversial, but think it’s apt

Can understand the anxiety of not wanting to accept #reinfection or infection of #SARS2 is fatal but it’s sheer stupidity to ignore🐘

This is why nobody likes me, & you know what, I really don’t care🖤🖤

@subjacentish
I've been calling the whole thing AirborneAIDS for a while now ... but just in my mind ...
.

#Covid #Covid19 #AirborneAIDS #MaskUp

in conclusion (honestly really i promise🤣) can understand the ethics of framing something as #AirborneAIDS #AirborneHIV & it’s much more complex than that..

but again back to I WOULD RATHER HAVE #HIV if there was a guarantee i’d never get #sarscov2 again

not waiting for science studies to come out/people to be dropping mysteriously dead from strokes & cardiac events b/c y’all if we’re at that point, it’s too late

This is a VERY divisive subject but my🐷day prevents me from saying nothing

Not everyone understands sales so will give an eg. My job for 20+yrs was selling what most would call extremely over-priced clothing both men & women who btw need different approaches

Men you’ve got less than 2 minutes to get their attention. B/c i also know patternmaking it was easy for me to instantly know their size & what would fit like a glove

If by the 2nd jacket they tried it didn’t work, they were out; i rarely failed

Is it #AirborneAIDS #AirborneHIV ? No, no it is not however logic⬇️

Idk how other people are understanding the statement #covid is #airborneHIV #airborneAIDS but #noScienceGirl here who DOES have💪🏼#liberalArts background interprets this statement as a metaphor/analogy

my grasp of #biology is weak/nonexistent but hyper interest in aging,avoiding #cancer ,disease & lifelong #germaphobeGalore DO get basic things

Yeah, i get #sarscov2 doesn’t reverse transcript #DNA but again,would gamble w/infection of former vs. latter but #whatever #masklessHoards #youDoYouBoo 🙄
