“Mild” but hospitals overloaded.
“Mild” but healthcare workers burnt out.
“Mild” but thousands of flights cancelled.
“Mild” but no booster shots for kids in under-ventilated schools.
“Mild” brain damage.
“Mild” collapse of society.
3) I love how those who dismiss COVID as mild always eventually fall back to arguing what they really care about… the $$$… #DontLookUp is the most brilliant movie 🍿 of our times.
4) Whoever says “mild” is also arrogantly and idiotically throwing our children our future generation UNDER THE BUS! 1 year record high #COVID19 hospitalizations. 👇
5) The @CDCgov lost a lot of credibility this week with their isolation rule change—something that will take a long time to earn back. The “mild” narrative has even been used by CDC recently and extremely damage. They should know better and do know. We need better leadership.
6) If hospitalizations in England are running significantly ahead of projected forecasts (more people being hospitalized & sooner than expected)… does the “it’s mild” narrative even hold up anymore? Besides hospitalizations ignore #LongCovid
8) we are honestly sleepwalking into a disaster which we haven’t seen before in the coming weeks. It’s not just healthcare infrastructure grinding to a halt… I honestly think we should stock up on supplies for the next month….
9) We are STILL in deep denial how bad #Omicron will overload hospitals and trip up society in the coming weeks as more and more get sick. It’s a 2.0 virus in completely different league - it’s a 2.0 pandemic and we need to WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!
10) if you ignore your mild case of Omicron - it could domino into a not-mild case of Omicron in a friend or family of neighbor who is vulnerable. Think of others!
11) Exactly what I said above… #Omicron “mild” talk is a critical Trojan horse for #LongCovid — Fauci says there’s no data to suggest Omicron is milder for Long COVID than Delta variant 👇
12) This looks like a completely “mild” crisis in hospitals. Totally normal. Nothing to write home about. But hey, “catastrophe is an understatement” = mild, right? No- don’t buy into the selfish “#Omicron is mild”
13) Everyone who had wildly proclaimed and touted that “Omicron is mild” to let the virus rip— now HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS… seriously people — how many people did we let die with that mild nonsense?!?!
Concerning—CDC now says that 42 states are seeing rising rates of #COVID19 again—with levels high or very high in 35 states (and rising). COVID wastewater levels have already surpassed last summer’s peak and climbing fast. #CovidIsNotOver cdc.gov/forecast-outbr…
2) Substantial 28% increase in one week. Question is how high it will go. It’s a new variant (mostly KP2 and KP3 and JN1), which are evasive against past infection and past vaccines.
A girl using cover name JANE DOE testified under oath at Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal trial that she was introduced to Trump by Jeffrey Epstein when she was 14 years old. Pass it on.
Trump’s name appears 7 times in Epstein’s latest files. They regularly called each other according to phone logs. Trump says Epstein is a “terrific guy”. And he traveled on flights, according to logs, to Epstein’s island multiple times.
3) THIS STUFF IS NEW—not old Epstein-Trump info. New information regarding Epstein's child trafficking activities was released 7/2/24. Documents from 2016 are now out of date and do not show the depth of Trump's dealings with Epstein... READ MORE:
Reminder—Trump had expressed executing people on many occasions while President, according to his own Attorney General. Now the Supreme Court has green lit any official act with full presidential immunity. Germany did the same in 1933. It turned out great.
2) If we ignore history, we are bound to repeat it. How Germany became Nazi Germany in 1933….
📍 The New York Times Is Failing Its Readers Badly on Covid
📌“Example of ‘science opinion’ run amok in the [NY Times] is a piece… by Zeynep Tufekci, a commentator with no training in biological science or epidemiology… ➡️Tufekci plays into the hands of the anti-science politicians who now seek vengeance on the flimsiest of grounds.”
2) “Tufekci also adds to the ongoing pile-on about whether the directive to maintain a distance of six feet from others was needed. Although the precise distance was indeed somewhat arbitrary, there was no possibility of obtaining hard data in the relevant time frame. The six-foot distance was a reasonable assumption based on public health history, and the practice of social distancing for other respiratory pathogens, particularly those spread by droplets. It was also adopted in multiple other countries, for the same reasons.”
3) “The problem here isn’t that Tufekci is questioning the evidentiary basis of the six-foot rule—science and public health cannot progress if we don’t evaluate the results of our work. But that progress is more effective when grounded in good-faith inquiry, rather than the kinds of attacks Tufekci levels against government scientists for doing their best in desperate circumstances. This only serves to bolster the forces who seek to destroy the US public health infrastructure, not make it better.
Tufekci also leaves the impression that she alone realized SARS-CoV-2 was airborne early on. In fact, the debate about transmission was fast and furious within the scientific community at that time”
⚠️Whooping cough has smashed all records in UK🇬🇧 with barely any serious govt actions. These are NEW CASES PER WEEK, not cumulative. Each week smashing previous. Other countries rising too amid anti-vax. Pertussis is also airborne!
3) Whooping cough is also extremely contagious. For up to 3 weeks. With UK govt advising staying home for 3 full weeks if no antibiotic treatment. How many people being told that and doing that?
