Hate lockdowns and mask mandates? Cleaner indoor air by better filtration and ventilation will make lockdowns and mask mandates less necessary in the inevitable next pandemic.

@freemo There is considerable evidence of the benefits of cleaner air. I haven't seen any evidence contrary to this.

@freemo Cleaner indoor air is not the same as a sterile environment

@freemo This does not contradict the benefits of cleaner air

@rchusid@med-mastodon.com avatar

@freemo Sure, theoretically there might be a point where this is a problem but improving ventilation and current air filtration is hardly at the point where there is any conceivable risk

@freemo It would clearly be beneficial, even outside of a pandemic. For example, studies show that children learn better in schools with cleaner air. Of course we also need to prepare ahead of time to have cleaner air if we are going to be prepared for future pandemics.

@freemo The data however says the opposite--it is exposure to dirty air which increases risk of autoimmune disease. Cleaner air would also reduce this risk:

@freemo No, I picked what represents the consensus of thought, not an outlier.

Wikipedia is hardly a reliable medical reference.

@Mopcku @freemo Right, it is not as if clean air in class rooms will mean children aren't exposed to anything anywhere

Israel has used the media law initially aimed at Al Jazeera to shut down AP. Keep this in mind when the law calling for the TicTok ban is ultimately used to censor other internet sites in the United States.

Are all those who recently told me I should support Biden because he said he would put pressure on Netanyahu stop supplying weapons to support genocide in Gaza going to change course now that it is clear this was another lie? Biden is sending another billion dollars worth of weapons to Israel as the attack on Rafah is in progress.

Following his misinformation campaign to reduce use of masks (as they were a visible sign that Biden didn't really end the pandemic) Biden is now using tariffs to increase the price of masks: "For certain personal protective equipment (PPE), including certain respirators and face masks, the tariff rates will increase from 0–7.5% to 25% in 2024."

Biden relies on a Vax-and-Relax strategy despite the fact that multiple modalities are needed (Swiss Cheese model) when the vaccine wanes after a few months, has limited protection against transmission, and studies only show protection against Long Covid as being somewhere between 25 and 40%.

We're screwed: "White House chief of staff Jeff Zients has taken a personal interest in the bird flu response." He is worried about "the damage another national crisis would do to the American psyche and Biden’s political standing." Zients previously handled Biden's Covid response.

Joe Biden is not only committing war crimes. He continues to violate the Bill of Rights by prosecuting Assange for reporting on war crimes in Iraq, giving the government new powers to censor the internet with the TicTok ban & has expanded the ability of the government to conduct warrantless surveillance against those protesting.

Biden has been pushing through legislation to increase warrantless mass surveillance, increase government ability to censor the internet & curb freedom of speech-- while continuing to support genocide in Gaza. Many Democrats ignore this because they say Trump would be worse. Biden could be building Nazi style concentration camps and BlueMAGA would still cover for Biden, claiming Trump would be worse.

Why do so many Democrats think that, as important as abortion rights are, it is ok to support Democratic warmongers who literally are responsible for killing women and children in other countries because of abortion?

@Jackiemauro

When you use the horrors of Bush as reason to support current Democrats keep in mind that Biden supported Bush's actions and is to the right of Bush/Cheney. Biden wrote much of the Patriot Act even before 9/11. If you opposed Bush--as you should--it makes no sense to support the far worse Biden. Today's Democrats are to the right of Bush/Cheney.

rchusid,
@rchusid@med-mastodon.com avatar

@Jackiemauro But Biden supported the same wars as Bush/Cheney. He supported the same restrictions on civil liberties as Bush/Cheney and pushed for them even before 9/11. He also pushed Reagan to the right on crime and mass incarceration.

As I said last week, Biden got enough votes to block warrant requirement by just one vote. Biden could pull in Democrats to vote for such restrictions on civil liberties. Trump could not have obtained the Democratic votes that Biden could .
