Seeing the NL in black (level 4) is incredibly triggering. This crisis was both preventable and predictable. It is a deliberate policy decision to allow for mass infection,maximum mortality and hospital collapse so long as the country reaches the “herd immunity threshold “🧵
When Rutte et. al supported by institutions and media, decided to pursue “herd immunity” primarily through mass infection of 17+ million people, they inadvertently opened the gates of hell.
There are societal repercussions when a government violates the social contract. 🧵2
Opening the gates of hell includes several lies and misinformation to accomplish mass infection:
🎯 Facemasks don't work
🎯 Children aren’t affected
🎯 Wash your hands and keep 1.5 m distance
🎯 This virus is comparable to the common cold
🎯 Vaccines offer full protection
🧵3
Misinformation repeated enough over various forms of media directly results in a population unable to protect themselves and behave appropriately. It accomplishes the goal of mass infection at the expense of social cohesion and the near certainty of hospital collapse.
🧵4
Rutte et. al , the RIVM and the media — under the guise of decency, normalcy and proper decorum — violated the social contract of protecting the public’s health and welfare. The polarization, rioting and social unrest is a direct consequence of the mass infection policy.
🧵5
Aside from the mass infection policy, Rutte et. al also monetized the pandemic. The priority was profiting over the people, allocating contracts to donors and companies, with little to no experience. They commercialized testing and destroyed 50 years worth of FFP2 masks. 🧵6
The #nieuwebestuurscultuur is about prioritizing special market interests at the expense of public health, welfare and social cohesion. Allow a deadly and debilitating virus to mass infect the population, using children for spread and allowing the elderly and vulnerable die. 🧵7

We are in a state of emergency. Our hospitals are days away from #codezwart, the government is psychotically insisting schools stay open, insisting on mass infection and 20+ months of misinformed and gaslighted public who has had enough. Now we have the #nuvariant#B11529.
🧵
.#B11529#nuvariant is a Black Swan that is 7x more transmissible than the Delta variant, with preliminary estimates of an R0 of 16-20 and is likely to have immune escape, both from vaccines and infection. It is a monster.
We’re not only facing imminent hospital collapse but a new variant of concern B.1.1.529. —displaying immune escape and greater transmissibility is headed our way. The new regulations of closing shops and restaurants earlier is not understanding the gravity of the situation 🧵
B.1.1.529 has not yet been detected in the NL (thanks @JosetteSchoenma )
But South Africa’s recent experience should be a wakeup call. They just survived their Delta wave and now facing this ominous new variant — their “herd immunity” not holding up 🧵2
B.1.1.529 should scare all of us considering the insanity gripping this country. For reasons no one knows, Rutte et al and the RIVM are hell bent on infecting 91% of the population, psychotically keeping schools open and allowing hospitals to collapse. We’re all dry tinder 🔥 🧵3
🚨 The Dutch government is hell bent on mass infection that they are forcing all schools to remain open — despite alarming levels of infection.
The European School of The Hague is closing for 1 week because of explosion of cases between staff and students. 🧵
After one week, the European School will be forced to open. There aren’t enough teachers available to actually do any teaching — many are too sick and the virus is raging the community.
This is insane, unethical, dangerous and definitely not conducive to “education”.
🧵2
I suspect that the European School is not a unique isolated scenario. The majority of schools in the Netherlands are experiencing a massive wave of #COVID19 transmissions, many classes at home sick with children, parents, and teachers.
We’re not even at the (temporary) “herd immunity threshold” yet — 14% more infections to go.
The government, institutions and media have shown that they are hell bent on achieving this mass infection goal, not even the threat of hospital collapse and mass deaths to deter. 🧵2
This isn’t about vaccines. This is a veiled threat of either accepting the mass infection sprint where 1 out of 7 people are infected by mid-December and #codezwart to build up herd immunity or face “lockdown”/harsher regulations until the Spring.
Media and politicians are focused on #codezwart. But the atrocity happening in care homes is blatantly ignored, 85% of deaths from Covid unaccounted for in official statistics. Where thousands of our elderly are too frail to get hospital care 🧵3
“Everything's not awesome
But that doesn't mean that it's hopeless and bleak
Everything's not awesome
But in my heart, I believe (I believe)”
It's impossible for me not to lament on the dystopian nightmare we are living in right now, but I will try to be more positive 🧵
A forecast from a modeler who I absolutely trust and who has been accurate for the past 5 🌊 suggests that we will reach the transmissions peak right around Black Friday. 🚨 1 in 20 random people in the NL are currently infectious. We will soon reach herd immunity threshold 🧵2
The seroprevalence and herd immunity threshold is what the @rivm is closely monitoring but failing to communicate. They are intent on accomplishing mass infection at all costs, including an extra 10-12,000 preventable deaths and collapse of healthcare. 🧵3
The rioting is not a crisis of people rebelling against an imagined “lockdown”. It is a crisis of a failed and broken state — local and national politics, institutions (RIVM, GGD), judicial system, bank, education that no longer serves the people but special market interests. 🧵
Polarization is what happens when a population votes for psychotic politicians who prioritize the special interests of the 0.1% over the actual people they are meant to serve and protect, supported by gated-institutions of mediocrity who are sources of misinformation. 🧵2
