Preventing COVID important for everyone - not just for people with existing chronic illness or of older age.
Long Covid…
“It can take people who are entirely functional, athletic, healthy, & make it difficult for them to get out of bed or difficult to walk just a block. We are long on mechanisms & short on treatment. That's the summary of everything”-@EricTopol bit.ly/3J3vpyE

ITV news report
The ONS estimates ~71,000 children have #LongCovid in the UK. For many this makes daily life a struggle, badly affects their schooling and risks ruining their formative years.

Viral persistence & live replication-competent virus in the brain as well as wide spread endothelial activation & vascular damage from autopsy series’. Remind me why we are allowing this virus to spread freely without mitigations? #CleanAir #ProtectOurKids medpagetoday.com/neurology/l…

Jacinda Ardern will be remembered for guiding her country with strength, compassion, and grace through multiple historic crises, doubtless saving countless lives.
She's shown the world a new model of powerful leadership. A true stateswoman.

Looks like Twitterific/Mac has been blocked now too. I've loved my time on Twitter for almost two decades. As an solo indie developer, it's been my water cooler, helped me stay connected to friends and colleagues all around the world. But it seems time to bail. Bye.

The importance of indoor air quality
This thread looks at the impact of cleaning indoor air, not just from pathogens in aerosol particles but also from other air pollutants linked to various health problems, and what we can do about it. 🧵1/

Jacinda Ardern, the NZ PM, steps down.
What a legacy! The pandemic response she led will be taught for decades to come.
I hope she sleeps well knowing she saved thousands, prevented disability in many more, and left a highly vaccinated population.

If you haven't watched this👇, do so to get a better appreciation of what we are doing to our HCWs & why govts need to act now to better protect our health systems & HCWs. If govts continue failing to protect the community, HCWs will continue to wear the brunt.

A heartfelt thank you by @WHO’s @DrMikeRyan to all of our incredible health workers around the world who have worked tirelessly to keep us safe. They are underpaid, overworked, and often not given the respect they deserve - we are truly grateful for all that you have done!

If Elon Musk can afford to lose $200 billion in a single year, he can afford a wealth tax.

Richest 1% took home nearly twice as much wealth as the rest of the world put together over the past two years.
Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Shocked to see a clip on @BBCNews on the completely unfounded claim that mRNA vaccines are contributing to excess cardiovascular deaths and supporting a pause in the rollout of the vaccines. A retraction/apology rapidly needed. No I won't link to the clip.

You can get away with pretending this does not exist on tiktok but twitter requires users to be able to read at least 20 words together

NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene "XBB.1.5 is the most transmissible form of COVID-19 that we know of to date and may be more likely to infect people who have been vaccinated or already had COVID-19."
Interesting choice of words…
assivasElse retweeted
That's right. They tried to sell the idea that the infection was only bad the first time you got it, among other falsehoods.

678 Covid deaths this year.
This Year.
13 days.
Fuck this shit, when’s someone going to step up & protect us?
assivasElse retweeted
We have high levels of an airborne disease which is known to have killed over 200K people in the last three years in he UK alone and yet peer/media pressure has convinced almost everyone not to take even the most basic precautions.
An extraordinary time to be alive.

I find it all DEEPLY creepy, especially the way media continues to platform ONLY the people who have been wrong for the last 3 years. That’s not accidental. They apparently believe Economists are the only scientists we need to consult during active pandemics. It’s criminal.

A shared goal of Covid/climate disinfo is keeping people distracted—*feeling* happy & in control—by manipulating public perception & hiding data, despite widespread suffering/death & bleak future prospects. Whatever it takes to keep the public from waking up & demanding change.
assivasElse retweeted
The pandemic never ended, the MEDIA COVERAGE ended, in order to make us believe there’s no threat. Maintaining plausible deniability, NEVER changing, & keeping people working & consuming are the goals, & no one cares how many people are killed or permanently disabled as a result.
