I gave this report to the @SEP_US 7th Congress on August 1. It reviews the historical background the #COVID19 pandemic, the implications of the “forever COVID” policy & the fight for a #ZeroCovid global elimination strategy. #CovidIsntOver 1/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
The report was given to motivate this Congress resolution, which was unanimously adopted. As part of the @ICFI_WSWS, we are the only political party in the world fighting to stop the pandemic and massively expand public health & healthcare. 2/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
The other reports and resolutions focused on the #UkraineWar & the danger of #WWIII, the #January6 coup & the threat of fascism, and the fight to build the International Workers’ Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees in the working class. 3/ wsws.org/en/special/pag…
All those who seek to stop the pandemic & war, prevent the rise of fascism, and fight for a socialist movement of the international working class should study these documents and reports and make the decision to join the @SEP_US & @ICFI_WSWS. 4/4 Wsws.org/join

Here are some key quotes from the intro, which traces the key turning points in the pandemic from 2020, 2021 & 2022, while explaining the political significance
and lessons that must be learned from this world historic tragedy. 3/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
The Biden admin’s declaration of a public health emergency over #monkeypox is long overdue, coming 2.5 months after the 1st case was detected. Their disastrous response to monkeypox coincides with their brutal enforcement of a “forever COVID” policy. 1/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
Disturbingly, there was a clear effort to minimize the announcement and the profound dangers of monkeypox, with the White House YouTube channel and every broadcast news outlet choosing not to show the live press conference. @nicolassmit@UniversalMaski2 2/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
The Biden admin & corporate media have adopted the same approach towards monkeypox as Trump took towards #COVID19. As he explained to Bob Woodward: “I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic.” 3/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
Biden’s #COVID19 infection marks a major turning point in the US pandemic response. It was utilized to openly state their brutal new pandemic policy: Everyone will get infected with COVID-19, repeatedly, year after year, forever. #CovidIsNotOver 1/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
Sometime in June the decision was made to lift the safety precautions in place to protect Biden from contracting COVID. In recent weeks, numerous photos and videos were staged at large indoor events and meetings internationally in which he was maskless. 2/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
In effect, the White House consciously allowed Biden to be infected as part of a deepening propaganda campaign to force American society to accept its policy of “forever COVID.” 3/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
A 🧵of clips from our recent video, “What must be done to end the pandemic.”
1st, on the surge of #BA5: “If the pandemic is over, why are millions of people being infected and thousands continuing to die and be debilitated worldwide every week?” #CovidIsNotOver 1/
On excess deaths: “A more accurate picture of the reality of the pandemic can be seen by looking at excess mortality, which is an estimate of how many people would still be alive today if it weren’t for the pandemic.” #COVID19#EndCovid@UpupaEp55949188@CyFi10@MeetJess 2/
On #LongCOVID: “The full magnitude of this tragedy finds expression not only in the level of death, but in the far greater number of people who have been infected and now suffer from long-lasting symptoms known as Long COVID.” @LauraMiers@loscharlos@ahandvanish@patientled 3/
The #COVID19 pandemic is once again spiraling out of control, driven by the highly contagious and immune-evading Omicron #BA4 & #BA5 subvariants. North America, Europe, Brazil & Australia are at the epicenter of the latest global surge. #CovidIsNotOver 1/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
The global 7-day average of daily new cases now stands at 661,420, a 42% increase since the trough in late May! Official new infections are rising despite the dismantling of surveillance and reporting, with test positivity rates rising in each of these countries and regions. 2/
Wastewater in Spain is at record levels! This key metric is rising rapidly in many countries. The sudden rise in test positivity rates means that unreported infections are occurring faster than those being documented by public health departments. 3/
