While we develop* effective pandemic policy, to eradicate SARS-CoV-2 before the virus damages most people's brains, CNS or other organs, @AufstandLastGen peacefully encourage effective climate policy.

That's how change in policy comes about.

@AufstandLastGen LEOs CAN be respectful, professional actors, not psychopaths who just rip peaceful protestors from the street. (If that happens, absolutely document and sue.)

As @ConstZerger says, we've known since 2019 that there's wide, tacit support in the population.

@AufstandLastGen @ConstZerger * Better, we would develop effective pandemic policy. I still can't believe that we volunteer our time despite/instead of academic jobs; that the sum of political scientists in Germany with solid SARS knowledge fits into one boat.

How is this real life? 🙏

@AufstandLastGen @ConstZerger How can we end the global spread of SARS within weeks *without any lockdown*? By scientifically accurate understanding of CoV-2 transmission, evolutionary dynamics, and WHO's - legally binding! - legal framework IHR 2005, currently violated by every state.

@AufstandLastGen @ConstZerger Why syndemic or One Health approaches? Because public health events in IHR 2005—beyond infectious disease, chemical, radiative event—include climate events. Both success and failure of SARS policy will profoundly affect global energy use and CO2 emissions.

@AufstandLastGen @ConstZerger Yes WHO member states are currently renegotiating IHR, to include the lessons of COVID. I'm sorry everyone, you may be missing your last best shot for rapid, effective climate mitigation policy by failing to pursue or support integrated, systemic policy analysis. Let's do better.

@AufstandLastGen @ConstZerger We analyze theories of political change (TOC), here a correct one. We can, of course, let SARS-CoV-2 take down civilization; it will have some minor climate benefits. However we'll lose the ability to implement climate policy, or indeed any kind of policy.

@AufstandLastGen @ConstZerger Mechanisms, for newcomers: SARS-CoV of course doesn't end civilization; the virus doesn't even kill the host cell. It works by genetic recombination, immune system dysregulation, and SARS-associated neurocognitive decline (SAND) amplifying OTHER pathogens.

@AufstandLastGen @ConstZerger Climate link: @ConstZerger @Umwelthilfe #DUH critique LNG overbuild. It's not just a climate but socioeconomic failure, ignoring near-term population decline. Planning for livable futures will require better use of time, management attention and resources.

@AufstandLastGen @ConstZerger @Umwelthilfe There will be no mass death as some expect; real-world dynamics are deniable, subtle, seemingly without alternative. For solutions, read international law and Germany/EU/Schengen's legal framework. Note how excess deaths accumulate. ourworldindata.org/explorers/coro…

@AufstandLastGen @ConstZerger @Umwelthilfe You see seroconversion in toddlers and prepubescent children. The lives of these kids will be shortened by decades.

I'm brutally clear, because only radically honest analysis can help in the present climate of intellectual denial and learned helplessness.
