Read Dr. Koka's exchange with Zeynep Tufekci where she insults him and anyone noting that realistically speaking, some Americans (& Canadians) praised Chinese lockdowns. Shall we name them? Is that what we now must do because we will not be gaslit?
Call to action! #TeamReality let us crowdsource those academics and doctors and other institutions (media, politicians, universities) who praised China's ZeroCOVID lockdown response.
When US media spreads fear-driven, anti-Science propaganda, how are we different than China?
Other than that we are in some denial about the psyops we are still being subjected to; just yesterday, I was informed "no one" in West was begging for masks...
...and yet, here, no even caffeinated or out of bed yet, and article says:
"It’s not just Covid. Flu and RSV means masks need to come back.
Mask mandates not only stem the spread of diseases but also have helpful psychological benefits."
...Psychological benefits?!...
...this isn't a psychological benefit! It says you have a low IQ and can't read or reason well:
"Promoting mask-wearing through official messaging (ideally supported by free provision of high-quality masks like N95s) removes the onus on individuals to figure out “what is safe.”
Canada, parts of the US, begging for martial law style mask enforcement as China roils in sudden protest, burning masks, saying fuck ZeroCOVID, end lockdowns, we want freedom.
It's a turning point, for them, for Asia in total, and for all Western Democracies. Pay attention.
@davidemccune if Les Miserables wasn't enough, how about burning masks with candles and ten thousand or so protesters demanding their rights?
My sister and her husband now have COVID. 5x vaccinated and masks everywhere, but goes out, child in school.
My mother is mercilessly sending me photos of her + tests and thermometer, her hypochondria at an all time high. My sister's BF is a coronaphobic doctor feeding this...
...So now they are all (including the 13-year old kid) on Paxlovid, and my mother -- a hypochondriac who doesn't leave her home, at all -- somehow blames me, from 3,500 miles away for my sister's 101.4 fever.
She says people who didn't get boosters are the problem...
...My sister is a 100% healthy 43 year old woman, by the way, who has no known health issues. Ditto her husband and son.
They probably got COVID while in NYC.
I live near SF yet my mother thinks I am to blame 🙄 We've stopped speaking over her hypochondria so msg'd me and...
People died violently while locked down in China yesterday. This video is highly disturbing: you can hear people screaming as they die inside of locked building.
How can anyone defend this? May they all suffer the same fate as those screaming for help in ZeroCOVID China.
This could have been so many countries. And some still seem deeply susceptible. Offhand, countries I know which fully locked people inside? Vietnam, Jordan, Pakistan, Italy, Laos, and some confusion about Australia, France, Spain.
Fauci's deposition concerning China and how the US adopted lockdowns based on their "success" IS the story of the day, week, and year.
The implications are staggering, show such US govt susceptibility to propaganda that they would in places threaten martial law and shut societym
If you follow my Tweets regularly, I have assiduously tried to follow Chinese lockdowns from as credible sources as available (while also realizing some could be propaganda too). I have kept my eye not on lab leak but on the context of CCP propaganda and human rights violations.
There is no Asian-hate in questioning a government putting people into concentration camps, as with the Muslim ethnic minorities, which has now been extended to other Chinese in mass concentration camps for quarantine.
