NEW—England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 set a another 12th record high pediatric #COVID19 hospitalizations in a month. More than double the rate of former waves. The kids are not alright. Kids should not be hospitalized— have their whole lives ahead of them—PROTECT THEM. #Omicron

HT @Antonio_Caramia
2) US pediatric COVID hospitalizations are soaring record highs too. Matching UK in steepness if not even steeper growth.
3) we need to stop minimizing the risk to kids! 👇 and to treat teachers as expendable.
4) not just hospitalizations— but the “mild” propaganda folks very conveniently ignore #LongCovidKids. We cannot ignore #LongCovid — especially in our kids- which will harm them for a generation to come.

📍UNVAXXED vs 2x SHOTS vs BOOSTED—recent hospital admission in Miami-Dade, Florida… ➡️highest in unvaccinated (green)—2 shots do work (yellow) but booster works even better (10x fewer). Note—data are counts, not rates. But it’s clear boosted folks have very low hospitalizations. Image
2) Switzerland also showing huge disparity in those vaccinated vs unvaccinated and #COVID19 death rates.
3) FLORIDA is not doing well. The surge in Florida will overload its hospitals soon

⚠️ICU RECORDS—COVID minimizers claim that hospitalizations are “decoupled” from #Omicron cases. Not true➡️New Jersey, Maryland & DC have hit an all-time high hospitalizations, with Maryland & DC both at **all time record #COVID19 ICU high** too. Ergo, not “mild”

HT @jburnmurdoch Image
2) Moreover, US hospitalizations and ICUs are nearing record highs too. #Omicron is not “mild” if you factor in exponential growth and adjust for vaccines and reinfections. Image
3) How does it happen even #Omicron is less severe supposedly? Well it’s all in the nature of exponential math — when exponential math explodes the number of cases, hospitalizations will naturally surge behind it.

Let this sink in—If a quarterback fumbles the 🏈 3 different times in 3 huge pandemic blunders—should he/she still be the captain of the CDC? Because that’s what @CDCDirector Walensky has done this year—to the great embarrassment of the @CDCgov and the 🌎. nytimes.com/live/2022/01/0… Image
2) This statement by @CDCDirector that “there isn’t massive increases in hospitalizations” is a *complete & utter lie*. I know the data. She knows the data. Her @CDCgov knows the data —and the data all says the US is already at last year’s record #COVID19 hospitalization peak! 👇
3) US now at **record high #COVID19 hospitalizations** — exceeding last year’s peak!!! What the heck is @CDCDirector smoking? And why is @CDCgov scientists not in uproar not calling out this massive lie?!

“Mild”? It is downright shameful & scandalous that #LongCovidKids has doubled in 3 months & tripled in 6 months in kids 2-16 in 🇬🇧. Kids suffering for 12+ months has also doubled! There is no universe where kids #COVID19 debilitated as such is “mild”!

Figure by @jneill@ONS data Image
2) this is all before even before #Omicron was dominant— before the recent exponential wave. 1.3 million in UK 🇬🇧 living with #LongCovid is a huge number - especially since UK uses a stricter standard than many other countries
3) and the #LongCovidKids is even higher in total in teenagers. We do not want this for our kids! Image

📌Words can’t express how glad that Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos has been found guilty of fraud x4.

➡️My friends remember when I once confronted Holmes at Harvard @Xfund & called her a **fraud**’on stage to her face in early 2015. Justice at last!👇nytimes.com/live/2022/01/0…
2) I have this moment saved in my photo albums to pull out for just this moment… the Harvard event was for a “2015 Experiment Medalist” award— it was held in the auditorium of Harvard’s education school. I remember it like it was yesterday—cuz her bullshit oozed from every pore!
3) someone once said, “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it does bend towards justice”… I am a true believer in that very much today….

BREAKING—42%⬆️—Pandemic profiteering @Walmart just increased the price of 2 rapid #COVID test kits from $14 to $19.88… by 42%! Meanwhile rapid tests are either free or $1.20 each in Europe. Or if its @AbbottNews, can’t they lower damn price?! Asking for the 🌎 in pain.
2) And @cvspharmacy & @Walgreens are worse — they are charging $23.99 for a 2-pack. Shameful considering rapid tests are just $1.20 — if you even pay anything in Europe. @AbbottNews is also complicit in this price gouging racket.
3) Wondering also@why the price of rapid tests are so damn high? Read this👇

It mentions the name Tim Stanzel— remember it. He may be an FDA employee now—but he also famously worked for Abbott & Quidel… even founding one of Quidel’s science divisions.
