BREAKING—Brazil's health minister just tested positive for #COVID19 in NYC for #UNGA . He is part of 🇧🇷’s delegation to the UN with @jairbolsonaro, who refuses to vaccinate, and violating NYC Mayor @BilldeBlasio’s indoor vaccine mandate! ➡️ I warned this!!
cnnbrasil.com.br/politica/minis…
2) Brazilian Health Minister @mqueiroga2 seen here giving the middle finger to protesters in NYC!

3) Exactly 3 days ago, I warned that @jairbolsonaro’s delegation could be risky to NYC… even @USAmbUN also warned about it.

HT @PamelaFalk who reported this concern first for @CBSNews
4) “The Biden administration worries that this year's U.N. General Assembly could become a COVID-19 "superspreader event" as world leaders descend on New York City without necessarily abiding by local vaccine requirements.” Reports @PamelaFalk

cbsnews.com/amp/news/unite…
5) HOLY SHIT— Brazil’s COVID-positive health minister is staying at the same hotel as @POTUS @JoeBiden!!!
6) Also last year year, more then **20 people in the Brazilian delegation tested positive** after a trip to Mar-a-Lago, forcing Trump to get tested for COVID for the first time, according to @Rkrahenbuhl
7) Riding in the same van as the 🇧🇷 COVID-positive health minister, is Brazil’s foreign minister who met with @SecBlinken earlier today. Let’s hope it didn’t spread.
8) Brazil’s COVID spreader health minister just casually visiting #UNGA with a low grade surgical mask with leaky sides. We need to test everyone now. Thx @jairbolsonaro & Minister
@mqueiroga2 - thx for nothing.

9) Brazilian Health Minister @mqueiroga2 giving some middle finger 🖕🏼 love as a respectful member of Brazil 🇧🇷 delegation to #UNGA in NYC. He seems like such a nice guy… not.

10) let’s not forget the main culprit is Brazil's President Bolsonaro who sacked several health ministers already. Bolsonaro also got hit with a fine for not wearing a mask after leading thousands of motorcyclist supporters through the streets of São Paulo
11) Let this someday be carved on @jairbolsonaro’s tombstone someday 🪦… “unvaccinated Bolsonaro defies NEw York City health protocols, brought COVID with his delegation to the UN”.
12) Brazilian Health Minister @mqueiroga2 gave the middle finger 🖕🏼 in front of the world to New York City. COVID returned the favor.
13) Contrast the Brazilian 🇧🇷 Bolsonaro delegation versus the South Korean 🇰🇷 delegation to the United Nations 🇺🇳 this week… #BTSatUNGA brought hope, while Bolsonaro’s delegation brought COVID… and a 🖕🏼
14) Wow, the Brazilian health minister is actually the SECOND person from 🇧🇷 delegation to test positive for #COVID19 — it mean the Brazil #UNGA outbreak has already likely spread further.
15) The Bolsonaro’s 🇧🇷 #UNGA delegation gets worse… half of them were seen wearing no masks in the UN General Assembly Hall - all while and outbreak had already begun among their group.
16) "In the face of what we know about COVID and NYC’s [indoor] vaccination requirements that the Brazilian president defied, **it is absolutely dangerous and reckless of any diplomat to expose others to the virus**" says Dr Andrea Feigl of @HealthFinInst
cbsnews.com/news/brazil-he…
17) "…When we can't trust world leaders and Ministers, real lives are endangered." continues Dr Andrea Feigl, telling @CBSNews’s @PamelaFalk.

18) on Monday (while infected), 🇧🇷 health minister Queiroga (left) photos from a meeting he attended with @BorisJohnson and @jairbolsonaro. ➡️ Johnson then traveled to the White House on Tuesday and met with @POTUS Biden and @VP Kamala Harris. cbsnews.com/news/brazil-he…

📍LET THIS SINK IN—When 8 infants die, 3 million pillows are immediately recalled. Nobody says, “But but but… We need to learn to live with pillows that suffocate babies!” ➡️Meanwhile, 480 kids have died of #COVID19–an astounding 20 died last week alone! nbcwashington.com/news/consumer/… ImageImage
2) While kids die at a rate of 1 in 10,000 infected cases… that is quite high! Plus, it is 6-8 fold higher CFR recently during the #DeltaVariant wave than last 18 months before Delta! (Notice RED vs BLUE).

Figure by @DrWilliamKu Image
3) I’m an epidemiologist. I bring facts. Data on #COVID19 in kids shows it has surged astoundingly since last year. Now kids are 20-25% of all cases. downloads.aap.org/AAP/PDF/AAP%20… Image

⚠️Worrisome—Potential post-Covid hair dye allergies reported. Scientists at @imperialcollege are investigating how the virus could be reprogramming our immune system. People are experiencing new allergic reactions to hair dye after contracting #COVID19 🧵—
theweek.co.uk/news/uk-news/9… Image
2) this is potentially real— The BBC reported that the reactions, including rashes and burns, have been recorded by salons in parts of the UK. bbc.co.uk/news/av/health…
3) This is not the first time a connection between this type of allergy and Covid-19 has been suggested. Last winter, rumours swept around the hairdressing community that clients had developed allergies to hair dye after having coronavirus.

⚠️OY—@FoxNews’s Tucker Carlson is still pushing #ivermectin as a treatment for #COVID19 despite warnings from public health officials. ➡️Several dubious / potentially fake studies identified already (HT @GidMK), which led to several journal retractions…🧵
2) There is a very deep well of potentially fraudulent research on ivermectin and COVID, writes Australian epidemiologist @GidMK. He walks through all the data issues. It’s so long that there’s 3 parts to the ivermectin debunking.
gidmk.medium.com/is-ivermectin-…
3) Notably, an influential study from Argentina has been used to argue that ivermectin prevents COVID 100% — but its inconsistencies have led experts to question if it could have actually happened as advertised, writes @stephaniemlee @kenbensinger

⛔️“HIGH ALERT”—Schools 🏫 in England on high alert after 122,000 pupils in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 were “absent with confirmed/ suspected #COVID19 infections last week”—highest ever during the pandemic—8% of pupils absent on Sept 16th. But 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 has no mask or ventilation rules!
theguardian.com/education/2021…
2) It is just “criminal” what England is doing under @BorisJohnson’s administration to kids in 🇬🇧 . It is also a violation of international human rights treaty to allow an infection to go endemic or allow it to spread and not prevent disease.
3) Paul Whiteman, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said: “These national figures mask some significant issues arising at a local level, and we already know of schools that are struggling to keep classes open due to outbreaks occurring.

OMG—this vaccine info Family Guy clip is amazing! Get #vaccinated before we get more variants!

HT @FamilyGuyonFOX @SethMacFarlane #COVID19
2) That cartoon above is the best lay simplified explainer of the vaccine, but the best lay technical explainer of the vaccine is by @ScientistSwanda 👇
3) Another way to explain the vaccine to lay audience is this one by @hotvickkrishna

📍BREAKING—At last—new data on 2-doses of Johnson & Johnson's #vaccine (doses 56 days apart) is 94% effective against symptomatic #COVID19, thus comparable to Moderna/Pfizer. And 100% effective against severe COVID. Booster for 1 dose works well too. 🧵
cnn.com/2021/09/21/hea…
2) "Our large real-world-evidence and Phase 3 studies confirm that the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine provides strong and long-lasting protection against COVID-19-related hospitalizations,"
3) "Our single-shot vaccine generates strong immune responses and long-lasting immune memory. And, when a booster of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine is given, the strength of protection against COVID-19 further increases."
