👀Look here—Australian🇦🇺 COVID death data I trust because they don’t suppress data or limit testing as much as other places. 🇦🇺 May 2023 #COVID mortality to date is already 4x their 2020 and 3x their 2021 deaths. And flu deaths are low comparison, even their bad flu 2019 season.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2) These Australian statistics are quite stark.
3) and it’s not vaccine injury. They are COVID related deaths. Anti vaxxers will kick and scream in their ignorance of epidemiology and statistics but learn some science folks.
4) COVID remains a worldwide danger despite what deniers claim. Outbreaks like this are still everywhere.
5) I always look at prominent outbreaks as a “canary in the coal mine” or as a “tip of the iceberg” - if you finally hear about something being reported to a famous person or group, like the CDC outbreak, then chances are it’s already happening everywhere else.

Restaurant workers who handle food while they are ill are among the leading drivers of foodborne illness outbreaks at restaurants, says a new @CDCMMWR study. ➡️41% were related to workers handling and contaminating food while ill. 💡PAID SICK LEAVE NOW!
cnn.com/2023/05/30/hea…
2) While most restaurants surveyed for the study had policies aimed at keeping sick staff from working, fewer than half (44%) offered paid sick leave. The study authors say that extending paid sick leave for more restaurant workers could curb food contamination by safeguarding… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3) This issue illustrates very clearly how the health of workers and consumers is connected. Everyone benefits when sick workers are allowed to stay home,” said Sarah Sorscher, director of regulatory affairs at the Center for Science in the Public Interest in Washington, DC.

Welp—Remember how @CDCgov claimed there was no “outbreak” at their CDC conference 3 weeks ago? ➡️Now we learn 181 cases of #COVID19 arose of 1800+ CDC staffers/guests…. So basically 1 in 10 folks at a single CDC conference caught COVID. Yet @CDCDirector Walensky dismantles… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
2) Oh the irony… The CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service officers and alumni — the disease detectives deployed to identify and fight outbreaks — met April 24-27 at an Atlanta hotel. The conference drew 1,800 in-person attendees, the first in-person Epidemic Intelligence Service… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3) I’m young enough to remember when @CDCgov staff tried to downplay the epidemic at the event by saying somehow that ***“the cases we’re aware of at this time should not be referred to as an ‘outbreak.’”***

Is it just me or should someone at the CDC apologize for this clear as… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

THIS IS PERSONAL—Asian American hate is on the rise. And it is no accident that xenophobic pandemic conspiracies contributed to nearly 75% of Chinese Americans experienced racism/hate in past year. ➡️To date, ***almost half the country*** believes China purposefully released… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
2) Against this backdrop, so many—especially Republican members of Congress—still peddle a certain narrative that China deliberately spread the virus, despite no scientificevidence that the virus was purposefully engineered in a Wuhan lab.

3) As concerning as it is that so many Americans—and our elected officials—continue to believe China unleashed the COVID-19 pandemic, it is unsurprising, particularly given our country's long and sordid history of xenophobia and racism toward those of Chinese descent.

📍Worrisome—New XBB-driven #COVID wave in China🇨🇳with ~40 million infections per week by late May and ~65 million infections/week by June… all while state-media downplayed outbreak last week. ➡️Bad sign—40% cases are already **reinfections** and rising as immunity from previous… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
2) leading scientist in China: “Zhong Nanshan said that it is very important to develop a vaccine with better protection against the XBB variant. He revealed that there are currently two vaccines against XBB that have been preliminarily approved, and three or four more will be… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
3) Furthermore, Chinese CDC also stopped updating weekly virus statistics earlier in May. Thus the true extent of the new wave is hidden. cnbctv18.com/world/china-br… Image

In 1997, Congress passed legislation that allowed the U.S. Mint to create platinum coins of any denomination — including $1 trillion.

Here are the 37 words of a law that allows for the $1 Trillion coin: “The Secretary may mint and issue bullion and proof platinum coins in… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
2) “While defaulting on debt is a serious problem, carrying debt isn’t always a bad thing for individuals or countries, according to financial experts. 
“It’s almost like our credit rating that we have personally,” White said. “Let’s say we graduate high school, and we have no… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3) “People perceive national debt as a negative, Grey said. But instead, he argues, you can think of it as a savings account, because people are earning interest through the bonds that they hold. 
That said, Grey wants the national debt to be paid off in one fell swoop since it’s… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Folks—listen up—I have a very bad feeling about the stock market 📉 as we head towards the June debt ceiling cliff… short selling indicators are approaching fall 2007 and March 2020 warning levels… i.e. massive shorting of stock positions has already begun. 📖Short story—In… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
2) for those wondering… I’m personally converting my retirement funding into FDIC-insured short term CDs that earn ~5% APR. One can easily convert them inside your brokerage accounts via buying their brokered CDs (no fees)—you do *not* have to pull money out of retirement IRA… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
3) Dear trolls who tell me to “stay in your lane”… you assume I don’t watch the markets, or assume I don’t know economics, or assume I haven’t studied the 2008 crisis. You also all forget that @michaeljburry was an MD physician - before his BIG SHORT that profited $800 million.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
