To UN/@WHO scholars or historians: “Notes from donor: was presented by two government/political science professors named Henry Galant & Priscilla Greeley on a Schenectady, NY TV station circa 1954-55”

Charmingly put, and shared with permission, by @wcanthony. Brilliant find, ty!

Manuscript could interest Cold War historians; perhaps #twitterstorian’s can give background. Ht @SethCotlar @nils_gilman @ProfPaulPoast
@SethCotlar @nils_gilman @ProfPaulPoast Shared on behalf of @wcanthony, sorry if this was unclear. She just can't unlock her account for the little WHO elogy, nice Zeitdokument as it is.

@mvankerkhove @DrTedros @DrMikeRyan @KuzmanovicA @gabbystern may enjoy this

Exceptionally I share this 🧵 before reading the studies therein, because (1) it is above my nonexistent pay grade; the wizards among you will be better qualified; and (2) as emotional support. It is incredibly sad that we let this population-scale experiment proceed unmitigated.
1. We have been warning with exceptional clarity for more than half a year (or three years, depending what you count).

Yet it is different if you drill into the mechanisms - as you must if you want to explain and bend policy, against the forces of normal.
2. Here another great Canadian report building on the SARS Commission report by Mario Possamai (his surname’s literal meaning: he who never rests). Canada seems to be ahead of other countries in the pandemic race or in documenting lessons not learned. 🙏😌 nursesunions.ca/wp-content/upl… ImageImage

Genius thread and Gedankenexperiment. Reflect; share your notes. - I’d add that, perhaps counterintuitively, public health shouldn’t expect the public to trust it. It is part of our problem. PH should provide accountability as we expect from corporations. (quote Sandman/@EIDGeek)
1. Great speech, I shared before because it fits SARS and even climate, if you follow UNFCCC #COP28 news.

Sadly climate is even worse off, no climate Dr. Fauci to be seen, so you’re best off iterating or integrating both. psandman.com/articles/berre…
2. The dynamics of SARS - the virus, disease, and IPE - are changing.

Just when I put them down as scripted, @ashishkjha @Bob_Wachter are warning clearly? Something shifted.

Dr. Jha even likens SARS-CoV-2 to climate & sea-level rise. For real, my respect ImageImage

1. Beautiful thread to renew trust in our ability to self-organize around shared meaning and values. 🥲🙏

—a Build #CorsiRosenthalBox's in school/kita; great educational projects!

—b Recall relative humidity is as important (should be 40-60%).

—c Scientifically, there is more:
2. Scientifically we face a systems-of-systems problem.

—c Aviation sustains the pandemic, ensuring that virus will always stay months ahead of drugs and vaccines. Standard quarantine regulations for some routes are key.

—a|b Local adaptations help but won't end the pandemic.
3. That's why we need policy people. There is no shortcut south of integrated, transdisciplinary analysis and effective policy design.

I should work rather than oracle on twitter, but no one talks about this.

1. Happy 2023 everyone! 🥳🤗
2. Why don’t we have the manufacturing capacity and Health Care Workers to get everyone the care the deserve?
3. The family of Long COVID is growing at a rate of 100,000+ patients per day!

States are defying their legal obligations by not collecting data and not reporting to WHO as they should under IHR 2005.

Find yourself someone who loves you as fiercely as Chris critiques the state of journalism on plague island. (Not picking on dear UK friends, I bet 🇩🇪 is just the same, I just don’t follow it here)

My god someone pls send her our accounts & threads on how to end the pandemic. 😬
1. There were warnings for those who cared to read.
2. There are even solutions no one talks about. I still don’t understand why.

1. "Live with COVID," we were told. How long exactly?

We have 4,100 HIV infections, and more than 600,000 SARS infections per day (1.5 million/year v. 660 million/1100 days).

Both cause chronic immune activation, a systemic pro-inflammatory cytokine milieu, and premature aging.
2. Frailty - immunosenescence - follows. The effect is strongest in children. Literature on telomere shortening in HIV+ children exists.

This is what Drosten means, warning that at 30, unvaccinated SARS+ children may "have the immune system of an 80 yo."
journals.lww.com/aidsonline/ful…
3. He errs when he implies or claims vaccines will protect children. Their effect on LongCOVID (=chronic immune activation) is numerically irrelevant.

All this is already leaving out the finer reasons that make SARS-CoV-2 dangerous - positive feedback effects and other concerns.
