SENTIENT BEINGS!!!—Lobsters, octopus and crabs will be recognized as sentient beings in 🇬🇧 after new research suggested they have a central nervous system, can feel pain— that all decapod crustaceans & cephalopod mollusks are **sentient**, or can feel. 👀
usatoday.com/story/news/wor…
2) The U.K. government announced Friday that all decapod crustaceans and cephalopod mollusks will be added to the Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill after a study from London School of Economics and Political Science found evidence that the sea creatures are sentient, or can feel.
3) Decapod crustaceans include shrimp, lobsters, crayfish and hermit crabs. Cephalopod mollusks include squid, octopus and cuttlefish. gov.uk/government/new…
4) "The UK has always led the way on animal welfare and our Action Plan for Animal Welfare goes even further by setting out our plans to bring in some of the strongest protections in the world for pets, livestock and wild animals," Animal Welfare Minister Lord Zac Goldsmith said

If you don’t get the #COVID19 vaccine in Singapore, you have to pay for your own hospitalization. But since Singapore 🇸🇬 has free universal healthcare, they’re saying “we are going to treat you like an American—which is the biggest punishment you can give someone” ~@ronnychieng😳
2) Exact full quote: “In Singapore, being treated like an American in the healthcare system is the biggest punishment you can give someone.” says @ronnychieng. Harsh but sobering for us Americans. Please #vaccinate
3) Please get vaccinated/ get a booster shot right away if you can. It’s critical.

And donate blood if you can as well, if you’re able to. 🙏

Got my Moderna #boostershot💪🏼 the other day (after 2x Pfizer shots before)—easy walk-in. Felt great, only 12 hours later had slight chills for 30 minutes that passed quickly + nap. I also donated blood the day before. Everyone should donate blood🩸 if you can—hospitals need them.
2) During blood donation, I actually learned that it doesn’t matter if you recently got the #COVID19 vaccine. The blood donation service accepts your blood without any special waiting period - they only ask you don’t feel sick the day of donation.
3) The needles used to deliver the vaccine is tiny, compared to the huge needle they use to draw blood for donating blood. For something life and death, i don’t think “scared of needles” can compare to the risk of covid. The vaccine needle also goes in your deltoid, not vein.

Listen up folks—we need to talk about Austria 🇦🇹 & what they are doing.

COMPLETE MESS FROM ACTING TOO LATE—now scrambling to compensate for late boosters & against anti-vaxxers. 🇦🇹 now adding lockdown & Europe’s first full vaccine mandate…🧵👇 #COVID19
cnn.com/2021/11/19/eur…
2) From Austria 🇦🇹 govt press conference just hours ago (translated by @j0hnhaas):

+++ Today gov't issued 20-day lockdown effective from 22nd of Nov. on +++ 15,809 new cases on the 19th of Nov. mark historical peak
3) +++ Gov't announces mandatory vaccination for the general population (age: 14+) effective on the 1st of Feb. 2022 +++ 7-day incidence for the country is 1,049 +++ Age group of 5-14 year olds have 7-day incidence of 1,800

BREAKING—The FDA expanded the emergency use authorization for the Pfizer & Moderna #COVID19 vaccine boosters on Friday, signaling that the shots can be given to anyone aged 18+ at least six months after completion of the primary shots. CDC approval soon.

2) Boosters are critical to stop the spread and avoid mass casualties. Israel 🇮🇱 did it. Europe did not. Europe paying a heavy price.
3) Israel is so successful with its booster program that it is now on its 3rd zero COVID death day in a week!!! Acting fast with boosters saves lives.

EUROPE. ALL. TIME. RECORD. HIGH.

Very little mitigation until recently. No major booster strategy or booster push until hospitals full. Completely opposite of Israel 🇮🇱 that has almost zero #COVID19 deaths now because they pushed boosters for all early.

HT @Antonio_Caramia
2) Don’t want overrun hospitals / surging deaths / lockdowns? Boosters ASAP. 👀
3) Europe is now the epicenter of COVID in the world. What a failure of leadership.

I don’t know whether to call this ‘racist’ or ‘very racist’.

Fact: I was born in China — I did not choose where I was born. I am an American 🇺🇸. And to the trolls—no, I didn’t “start COVID” either.
P.s. it is very racist. Also, please follow Dr @STOmarova - the woman in the above video.
3) Early pandemic, when Wuhan outbreak was surging, people called me a “CCP spy” or “communist misinfo / propagandist” when I tried to warn the world about the huge pandemic risk of the coronavirus. Trolls still do. salon.com/2020/03/27/a-t…
