2) A Brazilian Senate committee has recommended that President Jair Bolsonaro face multiple charges, including crimes against humanity related to #COVID19. HT @mehdirhasan of @MehdiHasanShow.

3) Bolsonaro delegation is a threat to public health and to the world.
4) Here is Bolsonaro’s 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.

She said she felt let down by the system.

FACEBOOK WAS COMPLICIT—newly leaked Facebook documents reveal how the Stop the Steal movement grew on @Facebook before the Jan 6th. (also sad for me to see my childhood home region Harrisburg folks in it).

📍BAD SIGN—Something really bad happening in UK 🇬🇧—especially notable in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿— where hospitalization for #COVID19 resurging—but for first time since vaccine mass rollout—deaths newly spiking now as well ⚠️. Possibly new Delta sub variant. Watching. bbc.com/news/uk-wales-…
2) in the UK, there has been a sudden rise in a Delta subtype AY.4.2, which some are calling "Delta Plus", contains mutations that might give the virus survival advantages. It’s about 10% now. bbc.com/news/health-58…
3) this new surge seems unique to UK and Eastern Europe at the moment. Russia is now in a one week semi lockdown, as is Latvia. UK may need fast action to avoid that fate.

BEST BOOSTER? Mix it up — but depends which you had first. Switching vaccine for the booster seems to be the best—Pfizer to Moderna booster, Moderna to Pfizer for booster, and J&J should switch to Moderna / Pfizer booster. HT to @ScientistSwanda. #COVID19 #BoosterShots #vaccinate Image
2) Vaccine efficacy and booster eligibility summarized here by @MedicalLetter. secure.medicalletter.org/downloads/1621… Image
4) Here are the official eligibility criteria for boosters. Note that Moderna as a booster is a modified 50 mcg. Normal first 2 shots of Moderna is 100 mcg.
