Let's remember that during the #pandemic many #scientists made catastrophic #predictions that turned out to be, fortunately, unfounded, but that created serious and uncompensable #psychological damage to a fragile part of the population.
📈😞 4/6
In addition, unnecessary and harmful #lockdowns have impoverished an important part of the population that will not be compensated. 😞
Medical journals should not lend themselves to pressure from groups of scientists acting on the basis of questionable beliefs .. 5/6
..that reduce public confidence in medicine and #science.
The #pandemic must become a topic solely for scientific research, and the rare severe #COVID19 patients who will get sick in the coming years must be properly treated. 🙏
Have a great summer to all of you! 🏖️❤️ 6/6

Reflections on the Pandemic in Light of Fauci's Recent Testimony
Face Masks
Face masks have been mandated without clear evidence of their usefulness or effectiveness. Our children have been subjected to unnecessary harassment and, at times, humiliation and ridicule. No one has taken responsibility for this, nor has there been an apology.
1/6
Lockdowns
From the beginning of the pandemic, it was known that lockdowns were not based on scientific evidence. Critics of lockdowns were often ridiculed, insulted, or even censored on social media. The economic and social damage caused by lockdowns will be difficult to repair. There have been no apologies.

Social Distancing
Social distancing measures were implemented and enforced without scientific support. However, they were strictly enforced. No explanations or apologies were offered.

A new coronavirus being 20 times more lethal than COVID19? Unlikely. 🤔
During the #WEF in Davos, there was discussion of a potential new #pandemic called #Disease_X that could cause 20 times more deaths than #COVID19. Is this a plausible scenario? Let's examine it.
1/
As we know, the first circulating variant and subsequent variants proved to be highly pathogenic.
They were characterized by a "spike" protein with high affinity for the human ACE2 receptor, which facilitated coronavirus entry into human cells and determined pathogenic effects.

Bilateral pneumonia and inflammatory storms were the main causes of #death in patients during the first months of #coronavirus circulation.

We have two ways to answer this question: the first is the #historical one, i.e. looking at the past and understanding how many years the previous pandemics caused by respiratory #viruses lasted. (1/9)
The available data tell us that all pandemics caused by respiratory #viruses lasted about two years:
-Influenza A H1N1 (swine flu), caused by an #influenza A virus of swine origin, lasted from April 2009 to August 2010.
-Influenza A H3N2 (Hong Kong flu), (2/9)
caused by an influenza A virus that emerged in 1968 and replaced the previous H2N2 #virus, which lasted until 1970.
Influenza A H2N2 (Asian flu), caused by an #influenza A virus that emerged in 1957 and replaced the previous H1N1 virus, which lasted until 1958. (3/9)
