🚨BREAKING: #Fluvoxamine—a cheap drug for #depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder—reduced the need for hospitalization among high-risk unvaccinated adults with #COVID19 in a large placebo-controlled randomized study.
apnews.com/article/db6060…
Among ~1,500 #COVID19 patients in #Brazil randomized for #fluvoxamine or placebo, #fluvoxamine reduced the need for hospitalization or prolonged medical observation by 1/3.

Encouraging results, but please still #GetVaccinated!

#coronavirus #SARSCoV2

Researchers tested #fluvoxamine because it reduces inflammation, likely blunting the downstream effects of #coronavirus infection.

Several earlier, smaller studies showed promising results, but none was as large or persuasive as this randomized placebo-controlled trial.
Full results.👇🏼

🔥Beryl Howell—chief judge of the DC federal court—thrashed DOJ for giving “petty offense” plea deals to #January6th defendants who she said tarnished America’s reputation in the world and enabled violent rioters to threaten the peaceful transfer of power.
politico.com/news/2021/10/2…
“The rioters attacking the Capitol were NOT mere trespassers engaging in protected 1st Amendment conduct. They were not merely disorderly—countless videos show the mob that attacked the Capitol was VIOLENT. Everyone participating in the mob contributed to that violence.”💥
BINGO👉🏼“The damage to the reputation of our democracy, which is usually held up around the world…that reputation suffered because of #January6th,” noting that the #insurrectionists chased lawmakers & Mike Pence into hiding, and sent staffers ducking under their desks for cover.

‼️#Facebook programmed its algorithm that decides what people see in their news feeds to push content likely to make them ANGRY, treating ANGRY emoji reactions 5x more valuable than “likes.”

Anger kept users more engaged, making #Facebook more money.🤬

washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
#Facebook’s researchers warned that favoring “controversial” posts—including those making users angry—could open “the door to more spam/abuse/clickbait.”

2 yrs later, posts that sparked ANGRY reaction emoji were more likely to have disinformation, toxicity and low-quality news🙄
“Anger and hate is the easiest way to grow on #Facebook,” testified whistleblower @FrancesHaugen to British Parliament.

🔥FACEBOOK🔥

Internal documents show that #Facebook tracked real-world harms exacerbated by its platforms, ignored warnings from employees about risks of their decisions & exposed vulnerable communities around the world to a cocktail of dangerous content.
washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
‼️Mark #Zuckerberg testified *under oath* to Congress in 2020 that #Facebook removes 94% of the hate speech it finds before a human reports it.

Zuck LIED.

In internal documents, researchers estimated that Facebook was removing <5% of all hate speech.🤬

#DeleteFacebook
▶️A personal decision by Zuckerberg led to a crackdown on dissent in #Vietnam
▶️Measures to suppress hateful content are lifted after the 2020 US presidential election, allowing pro-Trump groups falsely disputing the legitimacy of the election to experience “meteoric” growth.

🚨Internal #Facebook documents show that posts—including by Trump—fueled the #January6thInsurrection. User reports of “false news” hit ~40,000 per hour.

On Instagram, the account reported most often for inciting violence was @realdonaldtrump.🤬

washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
One FB employee fumed, “This is not a new problem. We have been watching this behavior from politicians like Trump, and the—at best—wishy washy actions of company leadership, for years now….”
“… We have been reading the [farewell] posts from trusted, experienced and loved colleagues who write that they simply cannot conscience working for a company that does not do more to mitigate the negative effects on its platform.”💥

EXACTLY.

🔥Shareholders sue #Facebook alleging that the company overpaid nearly $5 BILLION more to the FTC than its original $106 million penalty to settle the #CambridgeAnalytica data leak **so Mark Zuckerberg could avoid deposition and personal liability**.

politico.com/news/2021/09/2…
#Facebook conditioned its $5 billion payment to the Federal Trade Commission to resolve the #CambridgeAnalytica data leak probe on the FTC dropping plans to *sue Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg individually*.

Americans’ personal data was weaponized to help flip the 2016 to Trump.🤬
“Zuckerberg, Sandberg & other #Facebook directors agreed to authorize a multi-BILLION settlement with the FTC as an express quid pro quo to protect Zuckerberg from being named in the FTC’s complaint, made subject to personal liability, or even required to sit for a deposition.”💥

🚨#Idaho’s ICUs are so overwhelmed with #COVID19 patients that they may have to start **rationing healthcare resources** within days.

“All of the ICU #coronavirus patients were generally healthy people who simply didn’t get vaccinated.”

#GetVaccinated
apnews.com/article/busine…
What does “rationing healthcare resources” mean?

It means if you or your loved one in #Idaho gets sick enough to need ICU care, someone else may have to be removed from a ventilator to make room for you.

#Idaho Dr. Bill Dittrich on rationing healthcare: “I don’t think anybody will ever be ready to have the kinds of conversations and make the kinds of decisions that we’re concerned we’re going to have to be making in the next several weeks.

I’m really terrified.”
