Dat hele anti-woke debat is gewoon een partijtje schaduwboksen, vechten tegen een ingebeelde vijand. Geen beter voorbeeld dan het interview van @jfabbeloos met #BDW in @destandaard . Iemand al een #factcheck gedaan? 1/9 standaard.be/cnt/dmf2023030…
BDW: “Het was toch De Standaard die de Verenigde Staten onlangs nog omschreef als een witte grootmacht?” 2/9
Nope, in een artikel schrijft @GiselleNath dat “India zichzelf (weigert) te zien als een leerling die in de pas moet lopen van een witte grootmacht”. Het gaat dus om de perceptie van India. 3/9 standaard.be/cnt/dmf2023022…
BDW: “Op de anti­racisme-conferentie van Durban (in 2001, red.) werd ­destijds alleen de trans-Atlantische slavernij (opgezet door het Westen, red.) ­benoemd.” 4/9
Niks van. In werkelijkheid zegt de tekst: “Slavery and the slave trade, including the transatlantic slave trade, were appalling tragedies in the history of humanity, especially in their negation of the essence of the victims.” 5/9 ohchr.org/sites/default/…
BDW: “Er is al vastgesteld dat academici aan zelfcensuur doen en geen onder­werpen kiezen waarvan de resultaten maatschappelijk te ­gevoelig worden geacht. Voor een blad als Nature is dat zelfs al de officiële publication policy.” 6/9
Fact: Complete fictie. Lees de research ethics van Nature er maar op na. nature.com/nature-portfol… 7/9
BDW: “Weet u wat er letterlijk op de site van de VUB staat? “De universiteit, als ruimte en instituut, is ­gebaseerd op witte, mannelijke, hetero­normatieve fundamenten en is een voortzetting van kolonialiteit.” Ja, sluit de universiteit dan, hé. Pure zelfbeschuldiging.’” 8/9
Fact: “Deze zin staat op een pagina van WeDecolonizeVUB, een studentenproject van het Universitair Centrum voor Ontwikkelingssamenwerking (UCOS).” Geen zelfbeschuldiging dus. 9/9 vub.be/nl/over-de-vub…

In this remarkably balanced assessment of public health policy dilemmas in China, @devisridhar dissects the country's Covid situation, which is vastly different from ours with regard to its health system, population immunity or vaccine stocks. 1/7 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
China was an early adopter of overwhelming measures to contain Covid that worked in stopping Covid-19 initially. While country after country pivoted to "living with Covid", China stayed with this strategy of elimination within its borders. 2/7
The problem is that China’s population has a lower vaccination rate, with vaccines that appear less effective, than in most other countries. And many people don’t have any immunity gained from a previous infection either. 3/7

It's almost one year ago that I wrote an article explaining why the 'race to develop COVID-19 vaccines' led to very profitable vaccines but that these were not necessarily the best ones. Two recent studies might support this thesis. 1/9
Remember that the initial randomised control trials that led to market authorisation of mRNA vaccines were testing if the vaccines prevented disease, not death. A group of researchers recently looked into their ability to prevent death. 2/9 @StabellBenn papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
They reviewed the randomised control trials of mRNA (Pfizer & Moderna) and adenovirus-vector (AstraZeneca & J&J) COVID-19 vaccines reporting overall mortality, including COVID-19 deaths, accident deaths, cardiovascular deaths and other non-COVID-19 deaths. 3/9
