BREAKING: new UN report warns of total societal collapse due to ecosystem destruction without radical changes 🧵

Disgraceful scenes outside the stadium. “Late arrival of fans” should read “horrendous organization”. Fans have been here for hours. Stadium operations incapable of managing flow and access. Victim blaming at its very best…

Kuipers trekt de stekker uit de volksgezondheid op deze manier. Over een half jaar kan hij Stef Blok parafraseren: "Ik ben de eerste D66'er die een heel ministerie heeft doen verdwijnen!" nos.nl/artikel/243250…

There's more & more evidence accumulating that COVID-19 causes a chronic illness in many, and that this correlates with virus persistence in tissues. We should really start thinking about this as an illness where virus persists chronically in a significant proportion of people.🧵

Dr. Deepti Gurdasani The sad thing is that following guidance from aerosol scientists early could have eliminated a disease with R0 of 3. Open windows and proper masks, combined with TTI, would have been sufficient. Now we have a disease with R0 of ? 15. With animal reservoirs.

Shoutout to Covid-19 (that’s me!) for empowering humans to say all the quiet parts out loud.

It wasn’t the rich who saved us from Covid-19. It was the low paid key workers who government asked us to clap for. Now it’s those very same people - who can’t afford to pay for their heating or weekly food bill - that the same government is prepared to throw under the bus!

This is the vital public health messaging that has been absent from govt, and also from many in the scientific and medical communities. In the meantime cardiovascular deaths have been in excess of expectations in since April '22 👇

Journalists are cherry picking COVID minimizers who've been *continually* wrong in the predictions - herd immunity, virus protection won't wane, kids can't spread it- while ignoring researchers & immunologists presenting a strong explanation for viral/bacterial infection spikes

You are living through a pandemic that is a mass disabling event, a climate crisis, an economic crisis and probably a world war, all while the majority of people are like, “I can’t handle this so I’m going to ignore this in a way that makes these problems worse!” So, go you.

The world's elite at the Davos forum are enjoying every possible protection from Covid, including PCR testing, air filtration, UVGI light. Why isn't this being offered to everyone else? Every school, every workplace should have the same protections as the rich and powerful.

It’s time to move on from COVID denial and make the rest of the world #DavosSafe forbes.com/sites/brucelee…
