I was shocked when my GYN casually said this in 2023. She didn’t elaborate. I’ve never gotten answers for the 4 years I quit menstruating after Covid, but I do feel so sorry for young people because this is going to have some chilling long-term consequences no one will talk about

But, will anyone be prosecuted and will the victims be reimbursed

Someday we'll understand how diseases are spread and will act accordingly to prevent said spread. Oh, wait...

Online meeting: 4 our of 7 were sick. One person works in disability sector & has RSV. She said she thinks she passed it onto 4 clients, & one of those ended up in hospital. Her final words on the subject were, "Oh well, someone gave it to me in the first place anyway". FmL 😡

they don't pay higher taxes overall once the cost of health care and paying for health insurance is accounted for Americans pay more for less of everything including government.

My coworker's mother passed away last November. She left her modest $190,000 house to him clear and free, no mortgage, completely paid off after thirty years of factory work. He moved into the home in January to finally settle the estate. Two weeks ago, a letter arrived from the state Medicaid estate recovery office. Because his mother spent four months in a rehabilitation facility before she passed, the state quietly slapped a retroactive $114,000 lien against the property title. He called the state health department, frantic, asking how a hospital stay could bankrupt an inherited home that had no mortgage balance. The caseworker sighed and told him: "Federal law requires state programs to claw back healthcare costs from deceased estates. The house cannot be sold or transferred until the balance is cleared in full." He offered to pay a monthly settlement. They said no. The full $114,000 is due in 60 days, or they foreclose on the property at a public auction. A lifetime of working-class savings, wiped out overnight by a retroactive healthcare lien. You don't own generational wealth. You're just holding a property title until the state finds a legal mechanism to repossess it the moment you die.

Babies have the uncontained SARS2 VIRUS in their FCKing organs & are being born neurodevelopmental issues what is wrong with all of you refusing to stop harming ALL THE KIDS. This is CRIMINAL

Here’s something healthy people rarely have to consider. For someone living with complex chronic illnesses, something as ordinary as replacing a roof can become an absolute nightmare. Our roof is being replaced Monday through Wednesday. I have MCAS, POTS, vEDS and debilitating chronic pain. My bedroom sits directly beneath the roof, meaning days of hammering, vibrations, relentless noise, and potential exposure to dust and chemical irritants. All of which could aggravate my medical conditions. But here’s what infuriates me. From the initial roof inspection to the final decision and scheduling, nobody consulted me or considered how this project might affect my health. I understand the roof needs replacing. That’s not the issue. The issue is making decisions that directly affect someone’s health, safety, and independence without giving them a voice. And then there’s the dumpster. Delivered Friday, despite construction not beginning until Monday, and positioned directly in front of our garage. My brand-new Tesla is effectively trapped for potentially FIVE DAYS. Yesterday, I personally removed approximately FIFTEEN construction staples from our driveway. Parking my car outside among construction debris, equipment, and workers isn’t a reasonable alternative. Now I’m contemplating paying for a hotel to protect my health, while simultaneously being denied access to the very vehicle I’d need to leave. For healthy people, roofing work is an inconvenience. For someone with chronic illness, it can become a serious disruption to their health, independence, and ability to function. I’m not demanding special treatment. I’m asking for basic consideration. Move the empty dumpster. Preserve access to the garage. Recognize that not everyone can simply shrug off days of construction. Being chronically ill doesn’t mean surrendering your right to be consulted, considered, or heard. Has anyone with chronic illness, chronic pain, MCAS, or POTS experienced major roofing work or renovations? What precautions helped you manage the noise, environmental irritants, and physical stress? And does anyone have practical advice for getting an empty dumpster repositioned on a Saturday so I can access my vehicle? Because right now, I’m furious that my health and independence became an afterthought.

What’s the weirdest thing you’re allergic to?
