This image of students masking at a public event hosted by @IYSSE_SDSU has been greeted with enthusiasm by workers and scientists globally. It proves that when educated and provided with a political perspective, workers and youth will protect themselves and others. 1/
In addition to near-universal masking (only 3/120 didn't), we used @far_uv lamps, Corsi-Rosenthal boxes, good ventilation, and testing by event organizers. These measures must be implemented everywhere, as part of a global strategy to stop the pandemic. 2/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
In opening his lecture, which centered on the #UkraineWar and the global upsurge of the class struggle, @DavidNorthWSWS elaborated the unique perspective of the WSWS & ICFI towards the pandemic. Our key writings from 2020 are compiled here: mehring.com/product/covid-…

From the start, we have continuously outlined a global strategy to stop the pandemic. Had our warnings been heeded and our program implemented, 22 millions lives could have been saved and >65 million sufferers of #LongCovid could still be healthy today. 4/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
But the capitalist elites globally, above all in the US, refused to implement these measures, prioritizing profits over lives. They demonized China's highly successful #ZeroCovid strategy, whose lifting last November has killed >1 million people. 5/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
The world's billionaires amassed trillions of dollars, while reviving their eugenicist past and demanding anew the Social Darwinist conception of "survival of the fittest." 5/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
These same sociopaths are now at the helm of the escalating US-NATO war against Russia in Ukraine. Their normalization of mass death during the pandemic has prepared them psychologically to sacrifice millions more in a looming World War III. 6/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
Only the ICFI is fighting to build an international movement of the working class & youth, to stop both the war and the pandemic. Tuesday's meeting in San Diego was the highest expression to date of these processes. Join the SEP and take up this fight! wsws.org/join 7/7

🧵Today marks 1 year since the WHO designated #Omicron a Variant of Concern. This most infectious and immune-resistant variant was seized upon to scrap all remaining mitigation measures and normalize the pandemic globally. #CovidIsntOver #BringBackMasks 1/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
Over the past year, billions of people have been infected globally. Officially, 1.4 million people have been killed by #Omicron, but excess death estimates place the real global death toll over the past year at 5.2 million, or 1/4 of all #COVID deaths. 2/ economist.com/graphic-detail…
Excess deaths are now elevated everywhere, a reflection of the horrific toll of #LongCovid and the reverberations of the mass infection policies implemented by nearly every capitalist government in response to Omicron. 3/

🧵In the past week, the Chinese government has initiated a dangerous shift away from the #ZeroCovid strategy which has been in place since the beginning of the pandemic. If the situation spirals out of control, it would threaten millions of lives. 1/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
The clearest evidence for this change is last Friday’s issuance of 20 measures by the National Health Commission which curtail every aspect of the #ZeroCovid policy, under conditions in which daily new cases have risen over tenfold since late October. 2/ reuters.com/world/china/ch…
According to Our World In Data, China’s seven-day average of daily new cases now stands at 16,017 and is on pace to reach an all-time high in the next week. 3/

🧵The unprecedented crisis in children's hospitals proves the need for a socialist public health program. Children don’t owe an “immunity debt,” they deserve to live in a society which prioritizes their health & future. #BringBackMasks #CovidIsntOver 1/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
Over the past month, children’s hospitals across the US have entered an unprecedented crisis. They are being inundated with a wave of infants and toddlers hospitalized with a range of respiratory illnesses, well before the normal peak in December. 2/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
The most common source of hospitalizations is currently RSV, but rhinovirus, enterovirus, adenovirus, the flu and #COVID19 are also implicated, and there are reports of children infected with multiple of these viruses simultaneously. 3/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…

The #RSV surge, as well as the coming flu & #COVID surges, are due to the capitalist assault on public health. Each of these viruses and other respiratory pathogens, which are collectively among the worst killers in the world, could be eliminated globally. #COVIDIsAirborne 1/
From July 2021: "The impact of the measures aimed at COVID-19 was to reduce the US death toll from ordinary influenza from 34,000 to 600, a staggering 98 to 99 percent. Child deaths dropped from 200 to only one." @NoraDia43199887
@BenjaminMateus7 2/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
From August 2021: "Eradication entails the universal deployment of every weapon in the arsenal of measures to combat COVID-19, coordinated on a global scale, to stamp out the virus once and for all." By me and @DavidNorthWSWS 3/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…

🧵Dangerous new #COVID variants threaten a massive fall-winter surge, which has already begun in Singapore & other countries.

Today’s WSWS perspective reviews the latest science and draws the necessary political conclusions. #CovidIsntOver #ZeroCovid 1/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
Due to the dismantling of testing globally, official infection figures are now worthless. The @IHME estimates ~21 million people were infected globally on Wednesday, up 23% from the most recent trough of ~17 million infections on Sept. 27. 2/ covid19.healthdata.org/global?view=cu…
Amid this crisis, the ruling elites internationally have discovered the perfect cure for the pandemic: Simply ignore it and cover it up. The broadcast news rarely has segments on COVID, while the print media just echoes the lies of the politicians. 3/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…

I gave this report to the @SEP_US 7th Congress on August 1. It reviews the historical background the #COVID19 pandemic, the implications of the “forever COVID” policy & the fight for a #ZeroCovid global elimination strategy. #CovidIsntOver 1/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
The report was given to motivate this Congress resolution, which was unanimously adopted. As part of the @ICFI_WSWS, we are the only political party in the world fighting to stop the pandemic and massively expand public health & healthcare. 2/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
The other reports and resolutions focused on the #UkraineWar & the danger of #WWIII, the #January6 coup & the threat of fascism, and the fight to build the International Workers’ Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees in the working class. 3/ wsws.org/en/special/pag…
