"What has ended is not the #pandemic, but any acknowledgement by the political and media establishment that #COVID19 remains a major threat. There is zero political commitment to even the meager combination of mitigation, surveillance and data-gathering. This was not and is not an oversight. It is a decision to conceal the ongoing harm that is affecting the entire global population."
Sadly on the radical left only the fucking socialists of the wsws continue to care.
A normalized pandemic, because capitalism, that hits minorities to a disproportionate degree, widens the rich-poor gap, ushers in fascism and leaves many of us former comrades disabled and/or chronically ill, should be a prime issue to gather and mobilize our resistance around.
But no one fucking cares.
Six years ago there is a good chance that i got infected with COVID at a protest against the #WEF in Davos (i had a severe infection after, but another one a few months later, so COVID could be either of them) and i have not recovered since.
#LongCOVID has radicalized me in the sense that i understand now who my actual comrades are. It's not the people i thought for many years, who i had been organizing that protest with. Large parts of the so-called radical left are ableist and ageist.
