Damage to the immune system has been an ongoing debate throughout this pandemic.

Very few warned of this early on (& some abused!).
But it was logical to avoid finding out (preventing infection).

There was & is confusion, because nobody could predict the scale of impact. /1 But we've had dozens of studies out by now.

More organizations recognize that Covid infection damages our immune system.

Fungal infections are a strong signal.
We've seen this at least since Spring 2021 ('black fungus' in India).

And now @CDCgov👇 /2

🇩🇰Does this look like success?👇

- Accountability for authorities who adopted this approach? Mea culpa @SSTSundhed @SSI_dk?

- What of 'experts' who supported this?

Some people didn't see it coming till a few weeks ago.
And some of us saw it months & years ago. /1 Easy to call for some half-measures.
That's typical if one doesn't understand public health.
Hard to say: We need a new Strategy.

Wastewater still rising👇

Most practical today to drop burden?
➡️Mask in all indoor places

Then work on Ventilation, Filtration, far-UVC. /2

My paper on 'Effective strategies against Covid-19 & the importance of infection sequelae' is out.👇

In this paper I:
a. Summarize the evidence on longer-term harms
b. Explain what is Strategy vs. operational plans
c. Propose a template for an Effective Strategy /1 Select highlights below (but welcome to read in full).

'Flatten the curve' better than mass-infection, but it also:
a. Ignored precautionary principle.
b. Represented dominance of a self-centered health system, over a people-centered one. /2

@SSI_dk/@henrik_ullum
Can you please clarify the below statement on RSV increase?

"It is probably on the rise as a result of the lockdowns, says Henrik Ullum."

This seems false, because.../1

dr.dk/nyheder/indlan… RSV Incidence I Admissions, per SSI was:

- 2019-2020: 78.5 II 2177
- 2020-2021: 0.2 II 9

Many countries have thrown their people under the bus w. Covid-19. But the extent varies.

Guess where's this from?
a. Stigmatization of masking
b. Vaccine denial
c. Ignoring LongCovid & chronic disease
d. Using infection to 'protect'

Yes, that's Danish health authorities. /1 *Stigmatization of masking*

Health authorities don't consider it effective.
Mocked by colleagues in the workplace.
Frowned upon in public places.

Even if you want to protect yourself, you can't.
Its not some 'circles', its everywhere.

Covid isn't airborne in Denmark. /2

1. #Lebanon is entering a very dark period with #COVID19, as we expected. The next 2-3 weeks will have more regular daily deaths of 10-20 people. Little can be done to change that. If nothing new happens, the weeks after that will be even worse.
**What is to be done?** 2. National lockdown? Ideal in some ways, but realistically unlikely. Compliance varies heavily, people exhausted by overlapping crises have limited compliance, central authorities have limited enforcement capacity.
