"These meetings are distracting me from the work."
The meetings are the work. Sorry.
The fact that your org doesn't value meetings and doesn't put any effort into making them more effective is a symptom of a broader pattern of ignoring feminized "glue work" in favor of Big Masculine Outputs.
Making the work visible is the first step towards making it valued.

The glue is the work
Tech orgs only function thanks to people who volunteer for thankless "glue work." This is the space where UX lives; for the field to get respect we need to make this work visible.

Report: 98 Percent Of U.S. Commuters Favor Public Transportation For Others
WASHINGTON, DC–A study released Monday by the American Public Transportation Association reveals that 98 percent of Americans support the use of mass transit by others.

She’s right, you know.
We don’t need a general solution for how we accommodate trans kids in sports. It can be handled on a case by case basis. It’s being hypothesized into absurd scale to trigger reaction. There’s no “catastrophe” possible. There are a few dozen specific cases and they are different enough that they should be handled independently.
The details in real cases always seem to argue in favor of the trans kid’s choice.

Good article summarizing a lot of things relevant to continued COVID'19 caution:
https://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks/beyond-long-covid-1.7485888
Key points:
COVID'19 weakens the immune system:
"""
So it's not just about infecting you and causing respiratory illness and fever and all of the things that we usually get with the viral infection. This virus also specifically causes your immune system to become weaker.
"""
It damages blood vessels:
"""
In addition to SARS-CoV-2's ability to dysregulate the immune system and suppress the immune system, the spike protein itself is very damaging to blood vessel structures as well as red blood cells and platelets themselves.
"""
The folk idea that infections make our immune system stronger and stronger like a muscle just isn't true (or at least, doesn't apply to COVID'19 because of how, unlike most other viruses, it damages the immune system):
"""
For the longest time in the field of immunology, there was the sort of adage that your immune system needs to be tested every now and again to stay strong. That's an old-fashioned idea.
The more new-fashioned and evidence-based idea is that, although your immune system can take on [a COVID] infection, you want to avoid testing it as much as possible because your body is sustaining damage with each infection that it survives.

Learn why one camp director quit posting daily photos of campers. Pretty interesting take on things. #SummerCamp #CampLife

Camp Director Georgia Del Favero: Why I Don't Post Daily Photos from Our Overnight Camp - Free-Range Kids
Are daily photos from overnight camp a big issue? Probably not the biggest. But they are part of a culture where parents have increasingly come to expect the ability to watch their kids at all times, even from afar —  or at least have been trained to expect this by organizations eager to provide surveillance-as-a-service.
