4) It seems @Spotify endorses this nonsense over public health and saving lives. @SpotifyUSA - choose wisely @eldsjal - history will judge you forever in this moment. Do you stand for saving lives, or for blood 🩸 money profit 💰???
5) huge— @jonimitchell: “I’ve decided to remove all my music from Spotify. Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives. I stand in solidarity with @NeilYoungNYA & the global scientific and medical communities on this issue.” rollingstone.com/music/music-ne…
6) Let this sink in—in just one week - @Spotify lost $4 billion in value - down from $32 billion. Losing 1/8th of your global value for supporting the spread of disinfo that endangers others in a pandemic is goddamn karma that @eldsjal needs to wake up to. @SpotifyUSA—your move.
7) Let’s get this straight— @Spotify paid Rogan $100 million. Spotify is **NOT** like an innocent owner of a steel radio 📻 tower, @eldsjal’s company is the broadcast company that pays Rogan to create content & exclusively owns his podcast library! 🔥 wsj.com/amp/articles/s…

📍My deepest fear is not just COVID—it’s the Russian🇷🇺 invasion of Ukraine🇺🇦—➡️it’s now very clear a full-scale invasion of eastern 🇺🇦 is likely imminent. Putin wants a major conflict—& based on @DAlperovitch’s A+ layout of 🇷🇺’s likely war plans—many innocent lives will be lost🧵
2) Russia will likely have complete air dominance over Ukraine very quickly — if US or NATO doesn’t act quickly. Ukraine by herself can’t possible stop Russian air superiority by itself. And slower NATO allied action, the faster eastern Ukraine will fall. Time is of the essence.
📌Not a good signal—somehow in the original 🇿🇦 epicenter of #Omicron, #BA2 subvariant has suddenly become dominant ~58% now, displacing old BA1 strain. Same thing happened in Denmark 🇩🇰 where BA2 is now over 65% dominant.
2) Recently, @JPWeiland used Danish public data and UK data to estimate that #BA2 is about 2x faster than #BA1– the original #Omicron, which was 4-6x faster than Delta, which was 2x faster than Wuhan. So yeah, BA1 is pretty fast and/or immunity evasive.
3) Virus researcher & chief physician of Danish public health authority @SSI_dk says you can get infected with #BA2 subvariant of #Omicron after being infected with Omicron BA.1. ➡️ This is why we shouldn’t risk COVID or chase mass infection. nyheder.tv2.dk/2022-01-21-ny-…
💡REVOLUTIONARY—I cannot stress how epic @costplusdrugs is—there are now >100 generic 💊 sold for often ~90% off list price (sometimes 140x lower) because @mcuban’s company has cut out profiteering big pharma + pharmacy middlemen. Generics sold at cost +15%. HUGE!
2) Example— @costplusdrugs’s imatinib is offered for $200 a year. Which is what it currently costs in India 🇮🇳. However big Pharma charges $120,000 a year, and even with Good Rx coupons is still ~ $2000 a year minimum. @mcuban has cut that down again to just holy effing $200!
3) that said, it seems @costplusdrugs can only do that for standard chemical based drugs— which you can easily make exact copies via standard chemistry. And he is just buying and selling authorized generics already approved for sale in USA. But not all drugs available this way.
I hate how leaders are ignoring RECORD HIGH ⬆️ PEDIATRIC #COVID19 HOSPITALIZATIONS. This is not just happening in England 🏴 but also in France 🇫🇷, Spain 🇪🇸, US 🇺🇸 and more. Yet some dismissive soulless ghouls still try to claim kids are “practically immune” or kids 🏥 overblown!
2) In England 🏴, where there is no mask mandate, cases among kids are soaring like bonkers. @nadhimzahawi - show some moral backbone and concern for kids. Show some actual leadership.
3) This neglect of kids & #COVID19 has done irreparable harm to kids. The soaring absences from schools in England 🏴 doesn’t lie @nadhimzahawi.
📍CDC warns re close contact with @CDCgov lab monkeys—“If within 5 feet of the 🙊crates without respiratory & eye protection, monitor yourself for signs of illness including fever, fatigue, cough, diarrhea, & vomiting." ➡️Monkeys were not CDC quarantined. A bystander also sick🧵
2) apparently the 100 monkeys headed to the CDC lab were from Africa and **were not quarantined**! What kind of animal import protocol is this? ➡️ plus, the woman stepped in the monkey feces. pahomepage.com/news/danville-…
3) “Since the monkeys were not quarantined and monitored, the CDC told Fallon she needs to take precautions because she was in close contact.
According to the CDC, this species commonly spreads herpes virus B through saliva, feces or urine.
📍PEDIATRIC #COVID19 HOSPITALIZATION—Still surging is hospital COVID admissions in England 🏴—another new all time record among kids 6-17. However, there are even more COVID hospital admissions in kids 0-5, despite fewer kids 0-5 than 6-17. Let that sink in!
3) Let this sink in — even South Africa’s latest report is warning about the much much higher case-admission risk of #Omicron in kids age 0-4 vs delta. And such kids have higher case admission than even the elderly! The data doesn’t lie!
