“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.

(My hot take on what happened, and where things are headed. Prelude to the final 🧵in the "How does it end" series)…

…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.”

“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:

“If you want to point at any other driving cause besides COVID, to be credible it will need to:

• Be new in 2020, pause until late 2021 then resume
• Result in historically massive increases
• Be timed perfectly in sync with the waves and lulls of COVID, for the last 4-5 years.” 🧵

“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.”

Egonu, best volleyball player in Italy, down with "the flu" and then surgery because the viral infection got complicated by bacterial sinusitis.

there is no flu in italy right now. there's a wave of covid.

“Todd Datz, Managing Director of Media Relations & Public Affairs for @HarvardChanSPH, interviewed @CDCDirector @DrMandyCohen

‘...on COVID lessons and restoring trust in public health’.”

MASSIVE public health failure, and huge misinformation and propaganda win for both political parties.

“Half of Americans (49%) believe they'll never get COVID again, according to new polling from the Ipsos Consumer Tracker”

Notice CDC is waiting until after the election to resume gathering vital public health info on Covid.

“Nov 1, the @CMSgov will require hospitals to report info about flu, COVID-19, and RSV. Read about how these data are key to maintain situational awareness and address current patient health and safety needs.”

The disease that must not be acknowledged by media…

“Covid-19 has two walls. The Memorial Wall for those killed by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and the ‘wall of silence’ when questions are asked. Though #Covid-19 regularly trends on social media in posts by the ‘Covid-aware’ – researchers in the field, medics who see the impact, scientifically literate lay persons, or people who are clinically vulnerable or have been harmed by the infection – for some time there has been criticism that political leaders and mainstream journalists are inexplicably stonewalling.”

“Current Covid transmission is higher than it has been throughout 90.5% of the pandemic. If the U.S. was still testing & reporting data, we would be reporting over 9 MILLION new cases each week. Since we’re not, the official number is like 1.2 million new cases each week.

MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of COVID infections go unreported each week. As people get sick & die en masse, we pretend it’s not COVID. Keeping NO record of the ongoing carnage is the entire point.”

“So one can only conclude that the CDC purposefully redesigned their COVID graphic to downplay the severity and reduce attention paid to the —by far— number one cause of death by infectious disease.

Why? What purpose does this suppression serve?”

The CDC dropped the darkest colors and went from 10 levels of wastewater viral activity to 5.

Making the map look MUCH MORE APPEALING.

This change was made with zero announcement, AGAIN, between September 4th and today.

“We haven’t seen a widely distributed virus in recent human history that has had this property.”
