#pandemicide

I do like the term, but let's not forget that pandemicide, at least in 🇧🇷, refers to...

3/ ...An eugenic genocide as an attempt to get rid of the most vulnerable and poorer. It has been disguised under the herd immunity debate, at least by some here in Brazil.

I weep for the people of Brazil 🇧🇷 — #COVID19 deaths now at all time high under the strain of #P1 variant that has surged in recent month, and its President hell bent on doing nothing and muzzling scientists. Brazil may soon be facing a humanitarian crisis. World needs to act. 🧵
2) The crisis that looms for Brazil 🇧🇷 is almost indescribable. Many doctors in Brazil are screaming the word “genocide” at the level of neglect and willful efforts to block anything that will stop the pandemic.
3) Here was the situation last week in one the **wealthiest** regions in Brazil. Look how hospitalizations and deaths have taken off with the rise of the #P1 variant that is more infectious and also has some properties of reinfection.

Dear 🌎 friends and the people of Brazil 🇧🇷—the world is watching the horrible #COVID19 crisis—we know you are suffering, under a leader that ignores/muzzles you. We hear your cries.

Brazil may be soon facing an epic humanitarian crisis if we don’t act.

Let’s #StandWithBrazil.
2) After I posted what was happening in Brazil, I received a chilling email—

“Dear Eric:
I’m a professor at University of XXX, in Brazil. I’m writing privately because academics are being chased here. It’s not a matter of poor leadership but of an ongoing extermination project.”
3) “Bolsonaro is a psychopath. All his actions are surgically planned, with harmful consequences for all planetary health. You do not need to take my opinion into account; just take a look at the headlines of the articles printed in the most credible newspapers around the world.”
