True story: Denver Sheriff Deputy “Duke”, a former Marine, posted anti-vaccine videos/pictures on Facebook.

➡️Outcome: He dies of #COVID19. He was just 33-years old.

He’s the 2nd Denver Sheriff to die in 2 weeks. Please #vaccinate

(ht @RzstProgramming)
2) You can’t make up this kind of tragic back to back story…

Both Denver sheriff deputies worked at the corrections center. Jails and prisons are high risk environments. Staff should all be vaccinated, period.

3) Above story folks is real and crazy true.
4) same Sheriff’s deputy in 2014
5) I’m seeing a lot of schadenfreude / Darwin type comments. I think instead of mocking, we should use this as a teachable moment to share with vaccine hesitant and vaccine resisting friends and family members. If they don’t believe scientists, maybe this story they will respond
6) Someone wake up these anti vaxxers about India #COVID19 crisis… maybe that would help
7) America has lots of vaccines and also vaccine resistance while the rest of the world desperately needs them. Ironic.

2) here is the curve in Vietnam. It’s pretty sharp of an increase.
3) A “hybrid”—
“The new one is an Indian variant with mutations that originally belong to the UK variant,” Mr Long was quoted as saying, adding that authorities would soon announce the name and detailed characteristics of the newly discovered variant.

📍600 prisoners currently jailed on a #COVID19-infected prison ship🚢 dubbed “Death trap on the East River”, where audio intercepts described chemical agents & “enhanced restraints” used daily. In April 2021, 5 prison units under COVID quarantine. HT @ava
2) The terrible conditions on the South Bronx prison ship. @TakeBackTheBX is organizing protests. @ava says @laurapoitras is investigating with #seanvegezzi, who are sharing the intercepted audio. ImageImage
3) the Vernon C. Bain Correctional Center is an infamous floating jail in the East River at edge of the South Bronx. Built in the 1990s to alleviate overcrowding at Rikers & can house 800 male inmates—many others go there when they can't afford to pay bail

📍BREAKING—Hospitalizations for #COVID19 has spiked up 72% in just 8 days, according to latest UK 🇬🇧 govt data. This follows a surge in #B16172 cases. Deaths have also begun to increase. UK is among the most vaccinated countries, with ~57% with at least 1 dose, and 35% fully.🧵 Image
2) On a weekly cumulative basis, weekly hospitalizations has increased 25% versus the previous week.

Worrisome is that weekly deaths has increased 38% as well, according to SAGE member @GabrielScally, who is not very optimistic about the data. Image
3) Specifically, Dr Scally’s exact words were “not looking positive in #COVID19 unfortunately”.

3 million excess pandemic deaths in India 🇮🇳…

Let this sink in—the tragedy that continues to unfold in India has claimed a very large death toll of close to 3 million. While uncertainty surrounds these estimates, alternative methods suggest they are in the ballpark. #COVID19
2) Reality in 2021 is that #COVID19 is now a developing country pandemic. brookings.edu/blog/future-de…
3) Roughly 40,000 excess pandemic deaths a day worldwide. Insane. economist.com/briefing/2021/… Image

Let’s call for a massive push to vaccinate 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁:

📍10% of every country's population by September

📍30% by the end of 2021.

The @WHO is calling on #WHA74 to rally such goals.

“If any country is left behind, we are all held back”. ~@DrTedros
2) If wealthier vaccinated countries don’t help, this will continue to happen. Neglect of the developing world will lead to hurting the world continually.

This is why we must share vaccines and unite.
3) if we don’t share vaccines, then richer countries will still be hit. We are all connected. No country is invulnerable.

DISGUSTING—Florida governor Ron DeSantis, now threatens to block cruise ships 🛳 from resuming if it requires passengers vaccinated—signing into law a fine of $5,000 per person that is ask to show proof of vaccination—DeSantis will not back down. #COVID19
nymag.com/intelligencer/…
2) “Cruise ships are, of course, a well-known vector for the coronavirus. They inherently pack a lot of people into a confined space, and have terrifyingly high rates of infection.
3) “Aside from the public-health ramifications, it’s difficult to imagine cruises luring anything close to their pre-pandemic number of customers without being able to give them the assurance that their fellow passengers will be vaccinated.”
