A 🧵of clips from our recent video, “What must be done to end the pandemic.”
1st, on the surge of #BA5: “If the pandemic is over, why are millions of people being infected and thousands continuing to die and be debilitated worldwide every week?” #CovidIsNotOver 1/
On excess deaths: “A more accurate picture of the reality of the pandemic can be seen by looking at excess mortality, which is an estimate of how many people would still be alive today if it weren’t for the pandemic.” #COVID19 #EndCovid @UpupaEp55949188 @CyFi10 @MeetJess 2/
On #LongCOVID: “The full magnitude of this tragedy finds expression not only in the level of death, but in the far greater number of people who have been infected and now suffer from long-lasting symptoms known as Long COVID.” @LauraMiers @loscharlos @ahandvanish @patientled 3/
On masks & #COVIDisAirborne: “They don’t want people to wear masks because these are a daily reminder of how severe this virus is. You can’t live with COVID. You can die of COVID and you can be debilitated. But COVID isn’t… something we can or should tolerate as a society.” 4/
On the #ZeroCovid global elimination strategy: “If these measures were put into place on a world scale, combined with the improvement of filtration & ventilation systems in all indoor spaces… the pandemic could be ended globally in a matter of months.” @GosiaGasperoPhD 5/
On the #PandemicProfiteers and the #ClassStruggle: “Fundamentally, the fight against the pandemic and for public health is not simply a medical question but primarily a political, social and economic issue.” @DmodosCutter @EnemyInAState @j_em_bee @cersc_csppb @CFPE_Australia 6/
