Call them. Send them emails. Demand meetings.
Show them data. Explain.

Explain them what they can do to protect themselves and all of us.

Please please do it.

Many of us are doing it since 2+ years. We are worn out.
Alone we couldn’t outcompete professional lobbyists wit PR machines, who push for not suppressing the disease. The narratives that enable spread intensified w/ the dawn of Omicron.

Please, please, talk to your politicians

And if you are a politician:
Please, for the love of your children and grandchildren, don’t ignore this message. Don’t choose to get lulled by comforting stories, which are not rooted in evidence and are proven to be wrong again & again (“Covid is mild, vaccines alone are enough,

,defanging &decoupling, mild endemic, Covid is dangerous only to some “others”, longCOVID is not a big problem, (re)infection is good for you,(re)infection is not a biggie, it’s like any respiratory virus, there is a ‘balance’, etc.“)

Pls choose to protect yourself and everyone

There are solutions. There is a way out.
Many tools that we have are not prohibitively expensive or invasive.
But we need to focus on #TargetingTransmission and use what we have.
