📍Zero Covid deaths has been achieved in Israel 🇮🇱, which just had its first day in over a year without any #COVID19 deaths. Cases now just ~100/day and dropping, down from 8300 at peak. #ZeroCovid is possible with enough vaccination & mitigation.
2) Vaccinate folks if you want what Israel now has.
3) To be clear, Israel didn’t achieve #zerocovid deaths via vaccinations alone. Israel 🇮🇱 also spent 139 days in lockdowns lately - highest of any country, plus outdoor mask mandates too.
4) P.s. yes I realize Palestine 🇵🇸 is not included in this. Israel needs to make sure all Palestinians have access to vaccines too if they are to truly claim Covid victory.

Global solidarity 💪🏼

HUGELY UNDERCOUNTING DEATHS—India is either sloppy in miscounting #COVID19 deaths, or they are criminally covering up overwhelming deaths. All signs & reporting points either one or the other—“It’s a complete massacre of data”. Real deaths 2x-5x higher.🧵

2) Interviews from cremation grounds across the country, where the fires never stop, portray an extensive pattern of deaths far exceeding the official figures. Nervous politicians and hospital administrators may be undercounting or overlooking large numbers of dead, analysts say.
3) ““It’s a complete massacre of data,” said Bhramar Mukherjee, an epidemiologist at the University of Michigan who has been following India closely. “From all the modeling we’ve done, we believe the true number of deaths is two to five times what is being reported.”

I’m sorry—but @narendramodi’s authoritarian government can goto hell if they dare try to silence the true human suffering.

🔥HEADLINE: “India asks Twitter to take down some tweets critical of its #COVID19 handling” reut.rs/3axrjgj Image
2) The Indian government asked social media platform Twitter (TWTR.N) to take down dozens of tweets, including some by local lawmakers, that were critical of India’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak, as cases of COVID-19 again hit a world record.
3) Twitter has withheld some of the tweets after the legal request by the Indian government, a company spokeswoman told Reuters.

The government made an emergency order to censor the tweets, Twitter disclosed on Lumen database, a Harvard University project.

“There are next to no ICU beds [left] in a city of 20 million" — Delhi hospitals are overwhelmed and collapsing without any oxygen left. 🧵

BBC journalist @yogital reports. #COVID19 #CovidIndia
2) When an anchor asks the executive director of Batra Hospital what it means that there’s zero oxygen... he replies “it’s over”.
3) I agree with @PrasadKasibhat1 - US needs to step up fast.

SOS—“Our oxygen supply is over. There is no oxygen in the tank. We are only able to supply oxygen to patients in ICU. [The Delhi authorities] are not able to supply us oxygen”: Dr Bankata, Batra Hospital, Delhi, India 🇮🇳 sending SOS to the world. #COVID19
2) Keep in mind Delhi has some of the best hospitals in all of India. Most of the hospitals sending Sos and getting in TV are wealthy private hospitals. Public hospitals for the poor... you can imagine.
3) Again, Batra Hospital is one of the premiere private hospitals in Delhi for the rich. Here is the reality for the non-rich... it’s been long over for the public hospitals for the lay public....

💡AMAZING—First high >75% efficacy vaccine for a disease with 229 million cases & 409,000 deaths worldwide in 2019 —#Malaria!

Created by Oxford, produced by Serum Institute of India, & supporting adjuvant by Novavax, SII expects to make 200 mil doses a year!

Science! #vaccine Image
2) A malaria vaccine has taken much longer to come to fruition because there are thousands of genes in malaria compared to around dozen in coronavirus, and a very high immune response is needed to fight off the disease. "That's a real technical challenge”.
bbc.co.uk/news/health-56…
3) Study author Adrian Hill, director of the Jenner Institute and professor of vaccinology at the University of Oxford, said he believed the vaccine was the first to reach the World Health Organization's goal of at least 75% efficacy.
