“For me, Joe Biden's legacy will forever be his capitulation to corporate interests on COVID-19, and the dismantling of protections and precautions against it.
His admin did everything in its power to feign normalcy, which cost hundreds of thousands of lives (and counting)”
“Federal funding cuts related to COVID-19 on Monday are now sending California public health departments and organizations into a scramble.
The cuts target local programs for COVID-19 prevention. But it doesn’t all go to one cause — the funding also goes to epidemiology work related to other illnesses, like the avian flu.”
“An NHS matron said that too often people were mistaking Covid for a common cold and a lack of testing could be putting vulnerable people at risk. Lana Goodwin, who works in Covid services at Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust in Billericay, Essex, said she believed people who were not high risk ‘feel that Covid has gone.’…Ms Goodwin said that her clinic had people testing positive for the virus every day and vulnerable people were ‘unfortunately still dying from Covid.’”
“As caught by @michael_hoerger,
CDC just modified their dashboard to make Covid transmission look lower on November 18, 2024.
‘The underlying data are identical. However, the Y axis is rescaled to make everything seem lower.’”
“(🧵It's the Сονіd, ѕtυріd!): Viewing the US election through the lens of the ongoing ЅАRЅ-Соν-2 раndеmіc.

…No country can expect sustained 3% growth, if 3% of its workforce drops out every year.
There is no path forward - for the US or any other country - without addressing this. Repeated covid infections are not a sustainable situation.”
November 5, 2024: “A reminder that ~800,000 Americans have been killed by COVID since the Biden-Harris administration began. Tens of millions have Long C0VlD. And C0VlD spread more in September 2024 than any point in 2020. They refuse to do anything to stop the spread, even as thousands die weekly.”
“Hold up you’re telling me that by the 3rd time I get COVID, there’s a 1 in 2.5 chance I develop life-changing chronic illness ⁉️⁉️
Uhhh CDC wtf?? Y’all were on TV every night in 2021, where you at with this?! Did you fuck up?? (1/2)” Thread:
“I am concerned that the sense of urgency about COVID-19 appears to have faded. The disease has not been discussed during the election season, even though it is an ongoing and developing public health threat. I believe this is a dangerous mindset. The reality is that COVID-19 remains a unique and deadly threat for many people — it is not just another respiratory virus, and should not be treated as such by our leaders.”
“If you want to point at any other driving cause besides COVID, to be credible it will need to:
“So a healthcare worker went to an event, and didn’t want to remove their mask for the photo.
‘Don’t worry, send us a head shot and we’ll digitally include it.’
They are literally swapping heads to try to get out of reality.”
