It’s January 2021!

How is herd immunity still a thing?

It’s been, since last April, a callous delusion that the arrogantly ignorant & selfish—out of denial and/or malice—fall for.

It’s a cruel delusion that—out of greed—the self centered on a power trip push for.

🧵

#COVID19
As @mattbc and @Jandelliott said long ago, "Herd immunity strategies are about culling the herd of the sick and disabled. It's grotesque."

These "strategies" are STILL the product of delusional denials—out of greed, fear or disregard for others and #LongCovid—on repeat.
This 🧵 from @gregggonsalves is as heartbreakingly true today as it was last year.
Herd immunity was callous in March, it was callous in October, and it is insanely callous in January 2021.
Thus, call it 'shielding', call it 'herd immunity', call it 'put the vulnerable somewhere else', call it 'keep the ones at risk home', call it 'blue' and it is still all a callous deadly mistake.

Logic lost, morals lost, and arrogant ignorance embraced.

Insane.
"It doesn’t affect me", said too many in this #Coronavirus pandemic, "it just affects others".
May the tight embrace of delusions end sooner rather than later.

The new UK variant, also known as the #GreatBarringtonVariant, may be more deadly.

If indeed true—but even if it’s 'just' more transmissible & not more deadly—it looks like that whole Herd Immunity thing was just a really baaad idea. 🧵

Because unfortunately Europe "loves" to regret and not prevent.

Because sometime last year—in February/March—there was a mass allergic reaction to reality, common sense, and logic.

And unfortunately too many politicians and too many people have not recovered yet.

Cognitive dissonance is another big problem in Europe.

Sadly, it’s a worldwide phenomenon.
We even know of a graph that shows us our possible future regrets, and it’s still not enough.

Sometimes, you just need to be updated. Good thing I got @RunMorgans

June 3, 2020 in a long 🧵:

#CoronavirusPandemic (Because👋, still here)
#GeorgeFlyod (Because Trump didn't understand the heartbreak Floyd's death represented)
#USAonFire (Because it is)
"Its crazy. A couple of hours without knowing what's happening and now I'm lost."
"All is fine. Pour yourself a HUGE drink, take some Xanax and watch Trump's campaign video. I could not get through it."

Over 1.81 million cases and over 105,500 deaths.

Every person that will suffer, that will die, because of these protests, these riots, is on Trump and his accomplices.

Trump has used any diversion to distract from the Coronavirus pandemic and that is why he now pours oil into the fire.

His actions and inactions in the last weeks, and months, regarding the pandemic have ensured this outcome.

From the very beginning he has lied and denied.

2/
Played with people's fears and uncertainties.

He has thrived in confusion, misinformation and disinformation.

He has ensured that trust was misplaced, lost or forgotten.

Instead of leading by example he has selfishly divided the country.
