    Message for anyone who has ever "stood up to cancer" by completing a Terry Fox Run, donating money, wearing a ribbon, etc.: there is something simple you can do โ€”todayโ€” to reduce cancer deaths: wear an N95/FFP2+ mask indoors. Who knows, your kind act may even save your own life.

    Gas chambers are active eugenics. Passive eugenics is this. ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿงต1/4
    Illustration of a building.  Above the front door is a sign saying "Suicide Prevention Program."  Steps lead to this front door.  Above the side door is a sign saying "Assisted Suicide." A ramp leads to this side door. A wheelchair user in the foreground considers their options.

    Anything that encourages, enables, or forces members of a specific group to put themselves in comparatively deadly situations but does not directly kill them is passive eugenics. 4/4

    Forced sterilization is active eugenics. Passive eugenics is this. ๐Ÿ‘‡ 5/?
    Instagram post from @myelasticheart, on a yellow background:
"In addition to the marriage penalty,
 disabled people on SSI can also
 lose their benefits if they get a
 part-time job or receive any
 support from their family or
 community. These penalties keep
 folks isolated, unable to work, and
trapped in poverty in order to keep
 the benefits they need to survive."

    "Gnadentod" of Aktion T4 is active eugenics. Passive eugenics is "duty to die." 3/4
    Hitler's letter, part of Aktion T4, authorizing the mercy killing (Gnadentod) of the "incurably sick."
    Text:
"Is There a Duty to Die?
Many people were outraged when Richard Lamm claimed that old people had a duty to die. Modern medicine and an individualistic culture have seduced many to feel that they have a right to health care and a right to live, despite the burdens and costs to our families and society. But in fact there are circumstances when we have a duty to die. As modern medicine continues to save more of us from acute illness, it also delivers more of us over to chronic illnesses, allowing us to survive far longer than we can take care of ourselves. It may be that our technological sophistication coupled with a commitment to our loved ones generates a fairly widespread duty to die."

    Reminder: Respirators, ventilation & air filtration all get rid of covid in a room. Respirators are better at preventing near-field transmission. Ventilation & filtration are better at preventing far-field transmission. Both strategies together work better than 1 or the other.
    Illustration of people and covid in a room.  Covid around a source is labeled "their respirator gets rid of this," and covid in the rest of the room is labeled "ventilation & air filtration get rid of this."  At the bottom of the image is "your respirator gets rid of the rest."

    1. Every covid infection damages your body, whether you notice the damage or not. 2. Covid can produce profound long-term suffering. 3. LC affects people just like you. 4. LC has no cure. 5. LC can be prevented by N95s & air cleaning but not by diet & exercise & moral virtue.

    It may seem surprising when aerosol scientists, filtration experts, and occupational hygienists don't protect themselves from SARS2. After all, people who know #CovidIsAirborne should know to #MaskUp, right? But that's not how human nature works. 1/14

    I am seriously upset that so many smart educated people surround me at a meeting with ZERO masks & look at me like they do not understand why I am still wearing one. Literally only 3/130 smart people who understand airflow are wearing a mask at this conference I am attending.

    I hear you. Whether it's passive or active, eugenics is often very deliberate, and often involves torture. Both forms seem to fall under the definition of homicide.

    What do you call it when you know your body might be full of deadly poison, but instead of blocking the poison, you breathe it out at people, and someone else breathes it in and dies?
    Wikipedia:
"Homicide is an act in which a person causes the death of another person. A homicide requires only a volitional act or an omission that causes the death of another, and thus a homicide may result from accidental, reckless, or negligent acts even if there is no intent to cause harm."

    First the virus came for the elders And I masked, distanced, and sanitized Because I cared about others. Then the virus came for the poor and marginalized And I unmasked, socialized, and stigmatized Because I was tired and uncomfortable. >
