  • The reason the “shots recommendations have changed” is the sociological production of the end of the pandemic.

    COVID, especially long COVID are causing longterm organ damage and massive increases in disability(Pandemic Accountability Index "What COVID-19 Does to the Body, June 2025).

    I can’t tell you why governments of different political leanings around the world are supporting various levels of this vibes-based public health negligence “it’s over”-brain.

    But I can tell you my immediate family member got COVID again this year - almost nobody wearing masks where they live, so they rarely wear one even though they had terrible long COVID before - and was sick in bed for another 10 days. They had had to argue to be allowed a COVID booster vaccination, a couple of months before that.




















  • Sure, like any other wildly unethical job there’s a spectrum of different people’s privilege and ability to easily cut out to a less cartoonishly evil job – I would hold Person A with a background in cybersecurity and no dependants a lot more responsible for every day they remain a cop than Person B who joined police academy straight out of high school and is supporting 5 children etc.

    But saying that Person B should be excluded from “fuck cops” – that is, that there should be an exception to the general cultural work of making it socially unacceptable to be part of a murderous, racist, unjust, reactionary paid army – is supporting the institution that you’re claiming to be against. Waiting until a complete societal transformation before campaigning for people to not take blood money (your euphemistic “consciousness price”) is valuing Person B’s economic solvency over the lives of the people they (or, being generous, just their colleagues) will harass, target, frame, and even kill.
