“About 17% of study participants reported being infected with SARS-CoV-2 during the Omicron BA.4/BA.5 dominant period. This equates to 44 million cases, which is much higher than the 1.8 million cases estimated by the CDC during that period.” news-medical.net/news/20230227/…
Back in September, we learned an estimated 4%-5% of Covid cases are reported nationally. nbcnews.com/politics/covid… NBC: “The number of reported Covid cases is currently a qu
May 2022, & this was a median estimate. There’s no doubt the real numbers are much closer to this estimate. Even if we don’t officially record & report cases, people are still infected, disabled, & killed by Covid—but quietly, & behind the scenes. washingtonpost.com/health/2022/05…
By December 2022, when CNN published this article, only something like 15 states were reporting Covid data, and we pretended it’s not all Covid so it’s fine.

We also pretend this isn’t going to happen again in a month or two, and it’s really BIZARRE. cnn.com/2022/12/08/hea…
Thread, up and down. This isn’t going to magically change amid no public health measures.

In 2021, a report warned the system would collapse if even a few million Americans were disabled by Covid & filed for benefits.

No funding was allocated.

The U.S. has reported RECORD disability for several years now. The U.S. reported a stunning 43% increase in cognitive disabilities since 2019. Tens of millions of Americans are newly disabled.
August 2021: “If only 10% of the (then) 34 million Americans that were affected by Covid-19 get long-haul symptoms and try to apply for these services, our system that is already overwhelmed & underfunded is going to collapse.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…Bloomberg: “‘If only 10% of the 34 million Americans that were affected by Covid-19 get long haul symptoms and try to apply for these services, our system that is already overwhelmed and underfunded is going to collapse,’ Megan Buckles senior policy analyst at the Center for American Progress’ disability Justice initiative said at a panel ahead of the report’s release. “Health disparities were here long before Covid-19, and if we have this huge push to go back to normal, that will be deadly, and that will be deadly for the most marginalized communities — Black, brown, indigenous people of c...
This is only the beginning, & it’s merely the tip of the iceberg.

The public has no concept of what happened in 2021.

Transplant patients, cancer patients, & the immunocompromised were openly sacrificed. We knew they were still dying of COVID despite vaccines, but it was buried because The Great Unmasking promised record profits.

Now we know Covid is oncogenic, & it causes immunodeficiency along with multi-organ damage, so we’re all going to be sacrificed. Oops.NYT May 27, 2021 “The Great Unmasking” David Brooks Opinion
October 2021, like 5 months into The Great Unmasking. We decided to sacrifice cancer patients anyway.
In 2021, I realized Both Sides were marching in lockstep on public health, & refusing to respond to the pandemic in order to protect business & the record profits at humanity’s expense. The death of public health was a bipartisan effort. These humans rights violations are UNFORGIVABLE. Young people are dying in record numbers, the U.S. is ignoring the LARGEST increase in pediatric mortality in over 50 years, & we’re ignoring RECORD disease & disability. Like the last 4 years, we still aren’t going to do a thing about it, because everything is going according to plan.

Take a trip down memory lane with me, to January 2023, when the former Medical Director for Global Projects at Exxon & current VP of Science & Strategy for the Covid Collaborative kicked off the “ACCEPT EXPOSURE” era amid record disease, disability, & death.

The article was titled “The Covid Pandemic Will Be Over When Americans Think It Is,” & it was written by an epidemiologist.

(Read the whole 🧵)Time: The U.S. is now at a major pandemic crossroad. “Follow the science” has been a central policy guidepost in the pandemic. Science and public health knowledge and expertise is the conduit to both sound policy and public education through media channels. New courageous “accept exposure” policies, public education and behavior change strategies are needed to capture the benefits of the new paradigm. This could be a major step in bridging our national COVID divide.
He told us which segments of society should be targeted to “catalyze and speed up a frame-shift.”

AND IT WORKED. Time: There are three segments of society—policymakers, experts (scientists, biomedical and public health practitioners), and the media—that form an ecosystem that has played a major interactive role in shaping our current pandemic paradigm. This ecosystem is also the one that could help catalyze and speed a frame-shift.
“THREE YEARS OF IMPOSITION”

This man is an epidemiologist.

WHEN THE EPIDEMIOLOGISTS ARE INVITING US TO “ACCEPT EXPOSURE,” SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG. time.com/6251077/covid-…Time: After three years of the imposition, followed by gradual easing, of lockdowns, quarantine, isolation, testing, vaccination and masking, how does the holdout one-third of the country move from the current obsolete but ingrained “avoid exposure” paradigm to an endemic “accept exposure” reality? This not only has significant medical, public and mental health implications; it will also accelerate a return to a fully-functioning and dynamic society.

So this is extremely chilling…
Blue states have been busily bringing back forced institutionalization after it was banned in the 60s, so they can help private equity bank on our suffering by tossing the people who don’t qualify for incarceration into for-profit institutions.
Maryland:

“All it takes is 2 hospitalization (including voluntary) in 3 years with nonadherance. You can be court-ordered to care.

In a court house, not in a hospital hearing. Any 'any interested party' can file, your mom, your kid, your roommate, your ex.”

Who remembers 2023, when the Pentagon blew off widespread Covid in military pilots; & then in 2024, the U.S. reported a 43% increase in cognitive disabilities since 2019? Military.com: Military Pilots Reported 1,700% More Medical Incidents During the Pandemic. The Pentagon Says They Just Had COVID
They said it was “just Covid.” military.com/daily-news/202…Military dot com; The number of medical events that triggered official reporting requirements among U.S. military pilots rose more than 1,700% from 2019 to 2022, an increase the Pentagon says was the result of COVID-19.
Everything is fine.

Story time: In early 2020, Covid paralyzed my entire GI tract, top to bottom. I rapidly lost 60 lbs & I believed I was terminally ill. I went to male GI doctor after male GI doctor, & I walked away with an assortment of anxiety diagnoses. I couldn’t eat, all my food sat in my chest, & I had to drink 2 cups of Milk of Magnesia to “clean out” once a week. That shit is ABHORRENT. It makes me gag just thinking about it. I was miserable for FIVE YEARS—5 years!—until I saw a female PA four months ago. As it turns out, I have been on the wrong GI drug for gastroparesis/achalasia for the last few years because my male doctors absolutely would not listen to me, & they refused to acknowledge COVID causes GI complications. They were certain I was full of shit (both literally & figuratively, I guess) & so they put me on a pointless drug with a black box warning for sudden death, presumably for a placebo effect. It did nothing, but I dutifully took it, certain the miracle was going to happen any moment. Instead, I languished in misery FOR YEARS, expecting to die. I’ve been on the new drug 4 months now, & I’ve gained 9 lbs. I have an appetite for the first time in 5 years. My quality of life has improved. I had a GI recheck today, & it was the FIRST TIME I’ve been able to report success since 2020. The PA teared up a bit when I profusely thanked her & credited her for the abrupt improvement in my quality of life. Doctors, please listen to patients. Suffering patients, don’t give up. There are compassionate & helpful providers out there waiting for you, but finding them is a full-time job.
PS: All of medicine still has no idea this is occurring.
The PA just called me directly to ask about the results of my colorectal procedure in late 2023. They found nodules but didn’t biopsy them, & she wanted to know why. I’m supposed to call about that. I feel like something has changed…like suddenly people are on top of things? Is anyone else noticing this?
