Dr Monica Gandhi has been infamously anti-precautionary & anti-mitigation & wrong time and again. She now wants to end more mitigations—all while #Omicron deaths highs, & #BA2 rising. So @mehdirhasan checks her record—& asks if she’d stop making forecasts:
2) First record check was @mehdirhasan checking how wrong she was about India 🇮🇳 being at herd immunity in FEB 2021– just before India was hit hard by the new Delta variant that likely caused MILLIONS of deaths in April May and June.
3) she also dismissed those of us who wanted about the dangers of new variants and indirectly called it scaremongering about variants. MILLIONS have since been hospitalized and died from more contagious, deadly, and even “milder” variants.
4) She continuously downplayed COVID and repeatedly claim that we need not worry too much about COVID, wave after wave.
5) last year in 2021 she repeatedly said we were at the “endgame” of COVID. Nope, people continued to get sick, hospitalized and die. And don’t forget the Long COVID yet to come.
6) even as Omicron was rising, she continued to downplay COVID and claimed hospitals won’t be swamped. She was stone cold wrong.
7) her predictions have been disastrously wrong. Yet many cited her predictions to ignore mitigations and continuously downplay COVID rules. Her role at UCSF has give voice to COVID denier and minimizers and her voice has likely endanger millions.
8) in the video, she attempts to claim that her local San Francisco wasn’t affected as much. But if we look at SF area hospitals — they too were at/near record high hospitalizations. She lied / deceived again.
9) In the annals of “godawful” pandemic articles - one “expert” led a guardian reporter to claim “experts” questioning the counting of cases —but almost all supported counting cases —except of course “Monica Gandhi” 🤦🏻♂️— public endangerment again! Thx @CT_Bergstrom
JUST IN— W.H.O. Declares Global Emergency Over New Mpox Outbreak. The threat this time is deadlier. Since the beginning of this year, the Democratic Republic of Congo alone has reported more than 14,000 mpox cases and 524 deaths. Those most at risk include women and children under 15. The outbreak has spread through 13 countries in Africa, including a few that had never reported mpox cases before.
2) public health emergency of international concern— Also known as PHEIC, this is a status given by WHO to “extraordinary events” that pose a public health risk to other countries through the international spread of disease.
3) The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention declared the outbreak a public health emergency of continental security the day before — the first such declaration by the agency since its inception in 2017.
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”
