Thank you for speaking out. COVID response is a massive public health failure, that led to no permanent changes in American society that could have transformed our lives for the better such as increased social safety nets, better air filtration quality standards, vaccine/mask mandates, universal health care, flexible work options, comprehensive paid leave time, in addition to more research funding to treat Long-covid,, pandemic planning, and improvements in medical communication and counselling.
I highly recommend reading "The Viral Underclass" by Steven Thrasher in which the author traces COVID responses to the HIV crises of the 1980s.
I will check it out. I've been writing some about comparisons between COVID activism and HIV activism but hadn't yet come across Thrasher's book; thank you so much for the recommendation!!
Thanks for speaking out, Amy. I am sorry it is so frustrating! However, you keep raising the issue so that people can't forget. Eventually, they will understand.
I admire your activism! Knowing Sandy and John, I understand how you see a need and work to take steps to do something. I’m looking forward to hearing from you what will happen next in the path to teach health care providers what is needed. Take care and best wishes! Jessie
