   @crowgirl These are people who heard good stats once about filtration on planes (in fairness not completely horrible once they’re in the air) and decided the entire experience of air travel was Empirically Low Risk and anyone who disagrees is a moron. Drives me bats.

     If you're JAQing about the immense COVID risk of air travel now, you are a minimizer. You're minimizing the genocide of disabled people, a whole generation of children with long COVID, and the mass disabling event that will destroy our society as we know it.

     And that's not even factoring in climate change.

     "Is flying a COVID risk? What makes you think that?"

     FUCK OFF!

     COVID cautious people are bombarded with shit tons of minimzing and gaslighting every single day.

     There is plenty of information out there about how dangerous it is to fly now. It's gotten so bad that airlines are considering solo pilots on long haul flights... horrifying.

     The airline industry has been amongst the most evil in letting COVID rip... 5/6

     This Carlos guy replied (I'm paraphrasing), "I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but why are you so sure that air travel is an almost guaranteed way to get infected with COVID?"

     Context matters. We're in a raging pandemic. 90% of everyone has had COVID at least once. There is no more mandatory testing or masking, and no more reliable record keeping.

     Because the powers-that-be want to hide the truth... 3/4

     About how I went to Greece on a business trip in December 2021. I knew way less about COVID then than I do now. And I was super lucky to travel when there were mask mandates and I couldn't board my flights without a recent negative PCR test.

     I have never had COVID. And I think that Greek trip is the last time I'll ever leave Toronto. Because with no protections, travel is now a sure way to get infected... 2/3 #COVIDisAirborne

     I just blocked someone for engaging in JAQing.

     My post was about the COVID threat on airlines and airplanes... 1/2 #COVIDisAirborne
