Yesterday I was blocked by Monica Gandhi after commenting on her thread opposing the fight to eliminate #COVID19. Unable to respond to my arguments, she chose to restrict my ability to comment and inform her followers about the science of elimination. 1/
In her tweet, she mocked the “lament on twitter today that COVID zero could have been possible," falsely claiming, “it is actually the properties of the virus itself that make that impossible.” Here is my reply, which was beyond the pale for Dr. Gandhi. 2/
The article I shared is the first serious review of China's #ZeroCovid. It provides a highly detailed examination of the public health measures pursued there, which have kept infections and deaths near zero since April 2020. 3/

This follow-up article, written by @jkishore, examines the significance of the article on China’s elimination strategy, which was submitted to the WSWS as testimony for the Global Workers’ Inquest into the COVID-19 Pandemic (wsws.org/covidinquest) 4/
wsws.org/en/articles/20…
In blocking me for leaving my comment, Dr. Gandhi shows her contempt for science and the principles of public health. As seen in this interview where she coined the flippant phrase “variants shmariants,” she is a purveyor of hopium and misinformation. 5/
The evolution of #SARS_CoV_2 is not a joking matter, it is a life-and-death question. As long as the virus is allowed to spread freely, which the vaccine-only approach of Dr. Gandhi and @POTUS facilitates, more dangerous variants will evolve. 6/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
Not only is elimination still possible, it is necessary to put an end to the devastation wrought by the pandemic, which #Omicron threatens to deepen. The WSWS is the only political tendency in the world advancing the fight for global elimination. 7/ wsws.org/endcovid
I urge all scientists and anti-COVID activists to carefully read our article on China’s Zero COVID strategy and share it widely with your followers. 8/8 wsws.org/en/articles/20…

Despite the horrific level of infections, hospitalizations and deaths among children, which #Omicron threatens to intensify even further, the entire political establishment, corporate media and the teachers unions insist that schools must stay open. 1/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
In almost all the print and broadcast news, there is a concerted effort to disarm the population and prematurely declare the Omicron variant “milder” than previous variants of the virus. They rely on limited and initial data to make sweeping, baseless claims. 2/
While the precise severity of this latest Frankenstein monster will be shown in time, the surge of hospitalizations and warnings from scientists in South Africa indicate that Omicron will likely be as severe as other variants, if not more so due to its higher transmissibility. 3/

The #NuVariant was foreseen and preventable. Following the most far-sighted scientists, the WSWS warned that a more dangerous #covidvariant would evolve unless the virus is eliminated globally. We united many of these scientists on October 24. 1/

These warnings were ignored by governments and the corporate media, who have continuously lied to the public and downplayed the dangers. Their lies and cover-up will be exposed by the Global Workers’ Inquest into the COVID-19 Pandemic #CovidInquest 2/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
The “new pandemic” (HT @yaneerbaryam) must be stopped now! As the 3rd year of the #Covid_19 pandemic approaches, the working class and scientists must draw the lessons of the past two years. All policies must be guided by science and the prioritization of lives over profits! 3/

Chicago educators must reject the deadly deal struck by the CTU to reopen schools and fight to mobilize the entire working class to close all schools and nonessential workplaces with full compensation to all workers. #ChicagoTeachers #CloseSchoolsNOW
wsws.org/en/articles/20…
The Chicago Educators Rank-and-File Safety Committee is fighting to organize the opposition to defeat this sellout TA and orient educators towards uniting with workers in every industry to prepare for a nationwide general strike. Sign up to join at wsws.org/edsafety!
At Sunday's CTU all-membership meeting, the union heads issued a torrent of evasions and lies to try to intimidate members into accepting the deal. The CTU leaders’ efforts to ram through the TA revolve around three central lies.
