Ummmm, did I just get body shamed? …for aging with some grey hairs / not being Asian-youthful-skin enough? 🤷🏻‍♂️

But surprise, a pandemic of 15+ million #COVID19 deaths can wear an epidemiologist down too… Too much ‘thinking’.
P.s. I apologize to anyone out there that this epidemiologist has aged somewhat since his 20s. Didn’t you know epidemiologists are just like actors is like Hollywood? …once you’re over 35, studios & journals think your career is like over.

Thanks for everyone’s support. I plan to keep the grey — never used hair coloring before. Also some asked the photo’s backstory… 2 words: Spicy Nachos 👇
It would be great if Frito-Lay (owned by @PepsiCo) would donate money to a charity for me… but I won’t hold my breath for big snack food corporation to do the right thing unless someone sues them. @Doritos
So, on looks & appearances—Sadly, we do live in a society where people often judge others on appearances. What a person looks like / how one is presented are used to judge how much confidence there is in the messenger & trust in the message delivered. It sucks, but c'est la vie.
Since I got trolled by anti-vaxxers for it… have you gotten your new #BA5 bivalent booster yet? Please get boosted soon 🔜. Thank you.

SHAMEFUL—Members of Congress can buy and sell stocks with little restrictions. 📌Of those trading stock—**More than half** sat on committees that gave them insight into companies whose shares they reported buying or selling. ➡️18% had potential conflicts!
nytimes.com/interactive/20… Image
2) “analysis found the House Foreign Affairs Committee, overseeing arms control, had 4 members invested in defense companies. One member, Gerry Connolly, alone owned $498,000 worth of stock of Leidos —a military contractor that merged with Lockheed Martin” responsiblestatecraft.org/2022/04/14/ban…
3) I think the NYT analysis is still too generous. They only count members of Congress as conflicted (18%) if they serve on the committee for an industry. But back room notes passing of stock tips between members still unethical and insider trading if anyone other than MOC!

💉Are you tough enough to get the new #BA5&4 bivalent #BoosterShot in the Barbie doll toy section of your local pharmacy? Cuz I’m a tough enough for it. Are you?

Please get the new #booster, because #CovidIsNotOver.
Needle shot in case anyone wants to see it go in. Who wants to protect other kids and grandparents with me??? #GetBoosted
3) for those asking, I got the 30 mcg Pfizer shot—it was the only option within 30 miles today. But I had the Moderna booster last November 2021. While Moderna is slightly higher 50 mcg booster dose, switching it up is generally good too.

💡”To err is human—but to correct, divine”. I believe it is high time @WHO admits its big 2020 mistake denying airborne transmission (mislabeling airborne as “misinfo”). I hope @DrTedros @mvankerkhove @gabbystern can now agree it is time to delete it for good. #COVIDisAirborne 🧵
2) Previously, @WHO COVID and comms staffers claimed it can’t delete tweets. We know that is false. Examples where WHO deleted tweets before… @gabbystern @mvankerkhove
3) This is the incorrect tweet of note denying airborne #COVID19 that is somehow still standing… @DrTedros @mvankerkhove @gabbystern … do the right thing. Bless you and thank you. 🙏

Caught on tape—so, @paulpowlesland went to Parliament Square & held up a BLANK piece of paper. 🇬🇧 police officer threatens that if he wrote “Not My King” on it—officer would arrest him because someone might be offended. Excuse me—that’s what Russia🇷🇺 does.
2) Putin’s 🇷🇺 regime even arrests people for blank signs.

3) I also wonder… would then British citizens who are atheists be offended by “God save the King”? Being offended is a slippery slope.

Whoa—total EXCESS DEATHS to date across Europe* in 2022 now 📌exceeds both 2021 and 2020 at the same point! 👀 Unlike spikes—seems 2022 deaths are just steadily climbing—now passing prior pandemic years like tortoise 🐢 vs the hare 🐇. Worrisome.

*38 Euromomo countries. #COVID19
Worse… the excess death rate in 2022 in kids age 0-14 is now 10x higher this past week 35 than versus same week in 2021.
No anti-vaxxers please. The excess deaths cause is mostly from #COVID19. Many many studies show this. It’s not vaccines.

YOUNGER DEATHS—new excess death data shows 0-14 age group across Europe (38 Euromomo countries) dying at 📌10x the rate versus 2021 in week 35, & age 15-44 group dying at 📌30% higher than 2021. ➡️#Omicron is more severe in kids.

Figures by @Antonio_Caramia (follow him) #COVID19
2) and yes, most excess deaths are #COVID19 deaths in most recent analysis of cause of total deaths.
3) this is even more worrisome in my opinion… excess deaths to date in 2022 now even higher than prior pandemic years! The EUROMOMO data doesn’t lie… 👇
