Being deeply worried about the coming weeks and taking appropriate measures NOW is the only rational response when our hospitals are in reality phase #codezwart . Waiting to research #omicron is negligent incompetence and a dereliction of duty by the Dutch government.

🧵
Preliminary research of #omicron is enough to scare even the most level-headed, sober virologists—
🎯 An estimated R0 between 8 and 10.
🎯 Immune | sera escape from both vaccinated and convalescent (infected)

We will be ravaged by #omicron in a matter of WEEKS.

🧵
Perspective from 👨🏻‍⚕️🐶 —

4 generation intervals (2 weeks)
of Wild Type (R=2.5), means a
factor 40 more infections

4 generation intervals of Omicron (R0=8) means a factor 4.000 more infections

That’s a factor 100 times worse. Let that sink in.

🧵3
What the RIVM and Rutte are deafeningly silent about is not #omicron ‘s vaccine immunity escape but the pseudoscience of herd immunity does not hold.

It is devastating that the significant, accumulated
immunity against previous
variants in conjunction with a
high RO.

🧵4
There is already community transmission of #omicron in the NL. With an R0=8 -10 and immune escape shattering through NL’s 91% herd immunity threshold via infection, #omicron will displace #delta and be the dominant form in 2-3 WEEKS from now.

🧵5
The Rutte et. al has deliberately chosen negligence, refusing to do their duty to protect the public’s health.

A house-arrest type lockdown with schools closed isn’t the worst case scenario. There is potential societal collapse when the rioters are refused hospital care.

🧵6
Death
is not the
only thing
that matters

Rutte et. al approaching #omicron with deliberate negligence will not only result in an unimaginable wave of deaths with #codezwart but also long-term disability and chronic illnesses that could destroy our social welfare infrastructure
Listen to what the truth tellers are saying in light of #Omicron and all other variants. Heed their advice. They could save your life. Literally:

What exactly is Rutte’s vision of the NL? A more ruthless neoliberal version of the US where people not only have an extreme tax burden but have to pay for safe access to daily life in addition? 🧵
Why aren’t more people outraged that our collective tax money is being used to subsidize the extreme wealthy and friends of the Dutch government? Not only are they allowing this virus to spread, but capitilizing on our mass suffering on every aspect of this pandemic. 🧵2
Instead of distributing 50 years of FFP2 masks, bought with tax payer money, to all the hospitals, clinics, testing centers, nursing homes, and schools, they deliberately destroy it to protect “market interests”. WTF. 🧵3

Full disclosure: I grew up as a child of immigrant parents in the U.S. They tried, to the best of their ability, to give me and my siblings a good life. The @Gezondheidsraad refusing to recommend #covid19 vaccines for ALL children is triggering because I know the implications 🧵
.@Gezondheidsraad refusing to vaccinate all children means that children from underprivileged backgrounds, the working class who cannot safely shelter, will continue to be exposed, much more than their privileged counterparts 🧵2
The working and middle class has always carried the heaviest toll in this pandemic — grocery store workers, delivery personnel, service industry workers, cleaners, truck drivers, teachers, nurses, doctors. They too have children who cannot “safely bubble”. 🧵3

Dutch pediatricians who advocate for the mass (re) infection of children with #sarscov2 are not only a danger to the health and well-being of children and their families, but threatens the fabric of Dutch society and whatever remaining fragmented solidarity there is.

🧵
#sarscov2 always affected children. It was to keep the “economy” going.
#omicron is now sending toddlers to the hospital. The NL does not have enough beds but Illy and Bruijning stand firm in mass infection. 🧵2

.@Gezondheidsraad only recommending the #COVID19 vaccine for medically vulnerable children directly compromises the entire vaccination program in the Netherlands. What would be the rationale of parents vaccinating their kids for other communicable diseases that do less harm? 🧵3 Image

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.

🧵2

Whatever “herd immunity” —both in terms of vaccination and infection —we’ve built up against #deltavariant is useless against #B11529 #NuVariant.

South African demonstrates this clearly — low vaccination grade, mass infection = #b11529 is capable of immune escape.

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.
