“In South Asia the public health care system is in a terrible state, from decades of neglect and decay, particularly in the countryside.” — Dr. Zayar #EndCOVID #October24 #COVID19 #Globalhealth #WorldPolioDay2021 #India #Pakistan #Srilanka #Bangladesh #Nepal
"Even basic needs like water and sanitation are not met. The cities are covered in slums. Under these conditions the fight against the pandemic is a great challenge." -- Dr. Zayar.
“No mass testing or contact tracing has been conducted. Lockdown was imposed without any aid given to the millions of working masses.” -- Dr. Zayar
"Both #Pakistan and #India have the resources to deal with the pandemic, but not a single penny of the billionaires has gone to this fight. It is hidden away in off-shore bank accounts." -- Dr. Zayar

@davidnorthWSWS: It is a lie “that the consequences of this pandemic could not have been foreseen, that no one knew it was coming, and that – once it began – no one knew what had to be done to stop it.”
@DavidNorthWSWS Where are we now, as we approach the end of the second year of the pandemic?
At the end of the first year of the pandemic – that is, as of December 31, 2020 – the official global death toll stood at just under 1,950,000 people.
As of yesterday, with more than two months left before the end of the 2021, the total official death toll stood at 4,958,947.

In calling attention to the fact that the WSWS’s coverage of the pandemic dates back to January 2020, it is not for the purpose of boasting. -- @DavidNorthWSWS
@DavidNorthWSWS Rather, it is to refute the lie – perhaps the most pernicious of the tidal wave of lies that have flowed from governments and the media –
@DavidNorthWSWS that the consequences of this pandemic could not have been foreseen, that no one knew it was coming, and that – once it began – no one knew what had to be done to stop it.

The lessons of the war of annihilation against the Soviet Union are of contemporary relevance. The same contradictions of world capitalism threaten to plunge the world into the inferno of a third world war. #22июня #мыпомним

The main concern of this lecture is not the specific conflicts and events that triggered World War II, but rather the war’s more general causes.

"Here we encounter a terrible problem: For all that has been said and written about the #Holocaust, it remains a strangely obscure event"
