The Toronto Star wrote an actual article about someone criticizing a TV pundit on Twitter. This is wild. Like this is Buzzfeed type content, except not because at 1700 likes it definitely wasn’t anywhere near remarkable enough for Buzzfeed. The Star covering this is mind blowing.
Is it just me or is there an air of desperation out there ever since the curtain was pulled back on how the other half actually does pandemic life? We all deserve to be #DavosSafe.
Don’t get distracted team. Keep demanding the #DavosStandard.
What @DFisman said vs what the @TorontoStar wrote about what he said. You be the judge, is this a fair representation? Fisman’s tweet: Not sure why you’re running interferencExcerpt from the Star article: The other day Fisman (who res

I bring up this paper all the time. In a rebound epidemic, there are ⬆️ cases + a proportional ⬆️ hosp/ICU + no increased severity. From the article: “although there was more disease, it was not more severe than in previous years”

The *severity* of RSV increased in 🇨🇦 this year.
We didn’t have more cases this year compared to last year, but we had more hospitalizations. That’s evidence of increased *severity*, which is different from what’s described in that New Zealand paper.
That’s why I bring up this paper all the time. Because contrary to what the original poster is claiming, it’s evidence that our RSV wave this year did *not* behave like the purely rebound wave in New Zealand, and therefore raises questions about an immune dysfunction component.

German Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach: “It is worrying what we observe in people who have had several corona infections. Studies now show very clearly that those affected often have to deal with an incurable immune deficiency”

"This can be a risk factor for the development of chronic diseases, from cardiovascular problems to dementia," stressed the minister. "As I said, this is not yet certain, intensive research is being carried out. I follow the studies and discuss with experts.”
“This shows that if someone has a strongly aged immune system after two infections, it is advisable to avoid further Covid infections," said Lauterbach.

There’s a really strange argument spreading out there that the RSV and influenza epidemics going up and then down like epidemics do is irrefutable evidence of no post-covid immune system damage. Huh? Can anyone point me to the science that makes that argument make any sense?
By what mechanism would the epidemics not come down? Are they suggesting that immunocompromised patients can catch the same virus (like flu or RSV) every week over and over indefinitely without ever having a temporary period of post-infx immunity? Because that’s grade A nonsense.
It’s so nonsensical that there’s just no way that anyone making this argument actually believes it. No way.

I often come back to this 🧵 on how humans react to realizing they were conned. It’s so humiliating that it’s described as a form of social death. So what’s next?
“The mark can simply deny the con… saves their pride & cheats social death but allows the con to continue unchecked”
Remember the heartbreaking videos of unvaccinated individuals in the ICU denying they had covid? I don’t think we should expect many of the individuals that were misled into believing covid is no longer a threat to their health or to their loved ones to react any differently…
To clarify, I don’t expect to see anything as extreme as those ICU videos. The denial I expect we’ll see (and I’m already seeing it) is many individuals denying that their post covid health issues or those of their loved ones are in any way related to the virus.

Oh look, the wealthy and powerful are using all the SARS2 protections the ‘doomers’ have advocated for for 3 years while being aggressively characterized as a fringe group and increasingly marginalized by the decider class. Sure doesn’t look like they think covid is just a cold.
If this was a group of lowly ‘holdouts’ there would be an angry chorus of: “The pandemic is over. Give it up. The rest of the world has moved on. Stop with the fear mongering.”

So do you see now that the “covid is over/ it’s not dangerous anymore” messaging is legit propaganda? Definition of propaganda: i...

Listening to the radio and it’s clear that Quebecers have no idea how this “privately run, publicly paid” idea would actually work. Neither do I. How would this utopia of super efficient, privately run RAMQ facilities that are totally free to patients actually work @cdube_sante?
A private company running a healthcare business has one goal which is to be profitable. Revenue has to be higher than expenses. The only source of revenue in a publicly funded clinic is the visit/procedure codes billed by MDs to the RAMQ. That’s it. Everything else is an expense.
If it was truly a publicly funded RAMQ facility then the only way to increase revenue is to have the MDs bill more codes to the RAMQ per day (the owners take a cut by charging rent to the MDs)… so subpar conveyer belt medicine that they’re selling to the masses as “efficiency” ?
