After several years of listening, unsubscribing
Deeply disappointing that a 3-year retrospective of Covid largely pushes hard the “we’re back to normal” narrative, despite the fact that roughly 2000 Americans are still dying of the disease every week, millions are disabled from long Covid with more joining their ranks daily, vaccines have waned in efficacy against the newer variants, repeated “breakthrough” infections have become standard, and the virus has evolved to be much more transmissible. This was one of the podcasts I loved listening to early on in 2020 because of the sense of solidarity and the interest in highlighting the reality of what we were all going through together, but to ignore the mounting heaps of consistent scientific evidence that show getting Covid, let alone getting it repeatedly, is damaging (FOR EVERYBODY) is, at this point, irresponsible. It’s particularly insulting alongside featuring lyrics to the effect of “what if I hurt someone and don’t think that it’s my fault.” That is what pretending we are “back to normal” is doing to people, even if you don’t have to face the repercussions personally; you only need to look at the sustained levels of illness and death all around us to realize that (or, you know, listen to what disability advocates have been saying for years now). I’m unfollowing this podcast, will mostly remember it fondly from years earlier, and Greta I hope you stay healthy and well.
