Kim Crawley’s master Covid information and resources list
If you have been hanging around “Covid Twitter” or in the World Health Network in early 2023, you probably recognize me as a person who’s really serious about the currently ongoing Covid pandemic.
As of this writing in November 2023, these notable things have happened or are ongoing:
Evil white supremacist billionaire Elon Musk has owned Twitter for over a year, renamed it “X”, and turned “X” into a spam bot, crypto scam, and extreme far right free-for-all, where marginalized groups are unsafe and good people can seldom be read over all of that toxic bullshit. I deactivated my Twitter account @kim_crawley on November 1st. It wasn’t an easy thing for me to do because I had 23,000 followers and had built a community there. The departure of many people like me is a sign that “Xitter” is a sinking ship. And so “Covid Twitter” also ain’t what it used to be. Follow me on Mastodon or Bluesky instead.
I was active in the World Health Network from roughly April 2023 to August 2023. I went in with much optimism and enthusiasm. There are some good people volunteering for that organization, but it’s led by dangerous maskless hypocrites. Read all about that here.
The Covid pandemic hasn’t ended, despite what your corporate overlords would like you to believe. In fact, it’s worse than ever. Read some good reporting on WSWS by Evan Blake that was published today (November 22nd, 2023) for verifiable information about that. If you don’t wear a good quality airtight respirator (graded N95 or FFP3) whenever you’re out in public, you’re not only putting yourself in great danger, but also everyone around you. If like 99% of people you’ve been infected with Covid before, your prior infection hasn’t made you more immune, but it has done the exact and total opposite. Every Covid infection destroys your immune system, heart, and brain more and more. The more infections, the greater danger that you’re in. If you’ve stopped masking, start masking now. I have completely avoided infection, which illustrates how effective good quality respirators and staying the fuck at home as much as possible is.
A number of good people on social media are frustrated because it seems like with the media and governments ignoring the pandemic, they don’t know where to go for information and resources.
Well, I’m a professional researcher. Researching cybersecurity is my day job, but researching Covid is my lifesaving hobby. I have spent years now researching Covid online. So I will point you towards accurate Covid information and reliable resources here.
This post will be updated periodically to reflect changes in information sources and the like.
There are no maskless hypocrites, antimaskers, antivaxxers, vaxx and relaxxers, or corporate shills in this list. Only good reliable entities. Enjoy!
Covid news and information:
Michael Hicks’ Pandemic Enclave. He’s a novelist, and he’s as passionately “Team Green” as I am.
Nate Bear’s Do Not Panic Substack. He’s great at exploring why the media is lying to you about Covid, and many related matters.
OK Doomer, founded by Jessica Wildfire, but also with writing from other bloggers about the Covid pandemic, our climate disaster, and societal collapse.
Death Panel podcast.
The World Socialist Web Site (WSWS) is bound to be controversial. In my opinion, all of their coverage on Covid, labour struggles, and world politics are excellent. Their occasional defence of sexual predators like Kevin Spacey... not so much. If you just stick to the Covid stuff, you’ll get good, reliable, accurate news.
Lizwhatherface’s Normalcy Fugitive Substack.
Violet Blue shares all sorts of science and community Covid news on her Patreon. If you cannot afford to support her Patreon, that’s okay. Because she also shares her news and resources for free.
Pandemic Accountability Index Substack is also great for exposing hypocrites and charlatans.
John Dupuis’ Covid-Is-Not-Over Newsletter on Substack.
The People’s CDC Substack is good for scientific and political Covid news.
Anthony Leonardi’s Easy Chair Substack. Leonardi is one of very few scientists who tell the painful truth about how Covid destroys your immunity and your overall health for the longterm.
The TACT Substack is also good for Covid related science news.
The Covid Zero subreddit. (“Zero Covid Community” used to be good, until the mods let it get overrun by people who aren’t actually “Zero Covid.”)
Covid resources:
The Covid Aware community is excellent! All kinds of great resources are here, from a weekly online hangout to resources for acquiring masks, air hygiene, testing, and other help.
Get free masks or buy masks at DonateMask.ca. Sadly, Project N95 will soon be no more.
This blog is a living document that will grow and evolve as information sources and resources grow and evolve. In the meantime, stay safe and WEAR A MASK!*
* A high quality N95/FFP2/FFP3 respirator!
