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?

Receipts widely available.
Call to action! #TeamReality let us crowdsource those academics and doctors and other institutions (media, politicians, universities) who praised China's ZeroCOVID lockdown response.

A start:

science.org/content/articl…
There was Ding, Depti, DeWald, Dr. Barbara Ferrer & Dr. Sara Cody, most of iSage.

Justin Trudeau. Some of his cabinet. Dr. Richard Pan. Pretty sure Eric Topol did but have to relook.
The @UN praised China: news.abs-cbn.com/overseas/02/08…

Mayo clinic praised the response: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P….

Trump: business-standard.com/article/pti-st…

NYT Science journalist Donald G. McNeil: business-standard.com/article/pti-st…

The Health Minister of Germany: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Deepti Gurdasani, Cambridge epidemiologist. Ringleader.
Let's not overlook that minor organization, @WHO

statnews.com/2020/01/29/who…
Noam Chomsky was a fan, if I recall.
Every country in the world whose leadership decided to emulate China by also locking down: science.org/content/articl…
Feel free to join in. I am doing dishes and on my phone. I have dish soap on my hands and am managing this.

Taylor Lorenz. All of ZeroCOVID Twitter. Come on, add another. Scrubbing stuffing off a pan with steel wool over here.
These people.
Well, no idea what Zeynep is claiming but there are countless examples further online, actually very painful.

She should try Google sometime.
Another from @NEJM, that rag.

The entire John Snow Memorandum, calling for vax+, seemed to have an undercurrent of praise for CCP from many signatories.
No surprise here. Pagel often expressed vocal lockdown support.
Dr. Deborah Birx supported China and lockdowns (probably one of most responsible for these in the US)
Anish' compilation is outstanding:
This lunatic who has no qualifications but once ran and lost some local election and hasn't stopped nattering about ZeroCOVID since.
Devi Sridhar managed to be a stolid ZeroCOVID lockdown centrist. She says she was against lockdowns often but posits them as necessary as well.
Michael Senger compiles this further.
From his substack: that's everyone from Rochelle Walensky to Tom Frieden to Bill Gates.
Here's another one: the overwhelming majority of American Democrats thought people who were unvaccinated should be totally confined into home lockdown in 2022, according to Rasmussen. Short but important 🧵

And to end it, h/t to @matthewcreid, none other than Zeynep herself (after claiming no one was supportive of lockdowns -- which is what started @anish_koka's thread and my second response thread):
And Walker Bragman AFTER China protests and fire killing ten, plus arrest and beating of international BBC journalist (condemned by FCC China) doubles his advocacy for ZeroCOVID this morning.
Neera Tanden:
Leana Wen (who recants now):

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...

nbcnews.com/think/opinion/…
...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?

I am verklempt.

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.

Do you know of others?

Argentina. With limited allowance for food, under police presence.

Austria, for the unvaccinated.

Bangladesh.

Fiji.

India, I think. Varied by State.

Ireland.

Myanmar, during civil war of sorts.

Namibia.

Nigeria, but not totally followed.

North Korea.

The Philippines.

Wow! #SanDiego Unified Schools @sdschools #COVID #vaccine #mandate has been overturned by #California 4th District Court of Appeal. This feels like an inflection point from vaxx-friendly CA.

Now is the most exigent moment to sue #CA public #Universities with the same mandate.

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.

For quarantine?

An easy shift.

I focus on human rights.
