Many thanks ⁦@wolfblitzer⁩ for hosting me on @CNNSitRoom⁩ I became a bit emotional speaking on what I call the “historic decimation” of Hispanic communities from #COVID19, and then a POTUS rally without masks for the Hipanic community in Arizona tonight? It was too much Image
Also the POTUS phrase in the #WoodwardTapes “nothing more could be done” when in reality nothing was done, there was no federal response. Virus allowed to devastate NYC after entry from Europe (not China), then resurgence across the South, and now forced school openings.
The result? 200,000 American deaths. We did not have to get to this horrible place

1/n Cy-Fair ISD board votes to remove chapters teaching vaccines from textbooks.

My view: the reason we need to care about this is because antivaccine activism has become a deadly force here in Texas. My estimate: 40,000 needless deaths in 2021-22.

houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…
2/n here’s my paper in @PLOS @PLOSGPH detailing the 40,000 excess deaths in Texas from antivaccine anti-science activism journals.plos.org/globalpubliche…
@PLOS @PLOSGPH 3/n Author and reporter Chris Tomlinson @cltomlinson from @HoustonChron @ExpressNews has an opinion out today on the removal of vaccines from school textbooks

1/n In my public remarks, writings, and meetings with leaders in global public health my message is the same: a politically motivated/predatory antivaccine movement that first accelerated during Covid in the U.S. has globalized and will spill over to all childhood immunizations
2/n I sounded this alarm in 2022 in @nature @NatRevImmunol @NaturePortfolio nature.com/articles/s4157…
@Nature @NatRevImmunol @NaturePortfolio 3/n expanded on it in my 2023 book amazon.com/Deadly-Rise-An…

1/n This is dangerous anti-science disinformation pure and simple.

Ivermectin does nothing to help people with Covid, same with hydroxychloroquine.

Covid vaccines saved 3 million American lives, 200,000 Americans died bc they refused vaccines.
2/n detailed in my 2023 book, The Deadly Rise of Anti-science amazon.com/Deadly-Rise-An…
3/n and a few other things: the discovery of ivermectin for the Nobel Prize was for its effects on parasitic worm infections such as onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis not Covid. Ivermectin doesn’t work for Covid

I don’t understand what NY Times is trying to do today, I mean I get the part below, but why that headline? And why bury the overwhelming benefits of Covid immunizations? Why say “for most people” the benefits outweighs the risks. Say it as it is >99.9% Image
And you point out how 200,000 Americans needlessly perished because they refused Covid vaccines from a predatory and political vaccine campaign amazon.com/Deadly-Rise-An…
Between this and the mainstream media’s obsession with false equivalency between natural Covid origins vs gain of function/lab leak, they are not helpful

1/n This is antivaccine conspiracy nonsense. The facts + supporting documents:

1. Covid 19 the virus = a thromboembolic virus and cause of coronary heart disease

2. Staying up to date with your Covid vaccinations/boosters = an important way to protect your heart health.

1/n update on Covid in U.S. first some good news, latest from CDC shows we’re now at about our lowest levels of new COVID hospitalizations since the beginning of the pandemic… Image
2/n also Covid wastewater numbers looking pretty good, so as I said a few weeks ago, it looks like we might a low Covid spring or at least May. Good for HS or college graduations Image
3/n the concerning trend is one @EricTopol and others pointed earlier today namely these newer FLiRT variants, if and when they go over 50% will the numbers rise again?
