You’ll cover your eyes + ears to avoid reality. But you won’t cover your nose + mouth to face reality. 👌☑️

Brilliant 🧵 on how "healthcare" works these days.

The pandemic is managed according to healthcare capacity. As long as there is still room in the ICU for more critically ill COVID patients, governments and public health institutions see no problem. The dead and the permanently disabled are no longer a problem.

Society went along with this policy instead of insisting on a real solution, which would have meant containment, the way SARS1 was contained in 2003. In doing so it agreed to levels of death and disability that used to be unthinkable.

I really hope politicians take just a couple of minutes to read through the thread below…

It’s fair to say the so-called flatten the curve strategy had a crushing effect on how governments and the public see public health and healthcare. I wrote this thread in 2023, based on a John Snow Project paper. Nothing at all has changed since then, so it's worth publishing again. Retro🧵

"Which means that the more times you get [Covid], the more ...chance that you're going to at some point have experienced a really negative consequence of having COVID-19." We knew this back in 2022. Nothing's changed. But public health is keeping it quiet. abc.net.au/news/2022-06-24/r…

'If you get it once, it's bad. If you get it twice, it's even worse': The risks of COVID-19...

COVID-19 is set to be one of the leading killers of Australians this year, and it doesn't seem to be letting up as early research suggests health risks increase with reinfection.

Covid conscious ppl, are yall getting some trauma from the aftermath of election? Screaming at the good guys to do the right thing, and being met with gaslighting and our institutions/media being aggressively used to ignore, lie and cover for their private agenda. We’re so back!

I stand with Emily. Our relative undergoing cancer treatment caught Covid from A&E. Hospitalised. Then developed shingles (known complication of Covid). Endured HORRENDOUS nerve pain for months. Then 6 months later contracted pneumonia and died. From pneumonia. Not the cancer

As a Palliative patient, I will die on the hill that Palliative and Hospice patients are worthy of protection from avoidable infections wrecking remaining quality of life because clinicians don’t mask It’s no longer just an idiom, with so many nosocomial infections fatalities

Doesn't give a crap about though. It gets worse though sadly as my mum has day care at a local hospice. They've all got Covid too & she's been told not to come in this week. How many of their last days are going to be worsened because they now have something preventable? 4/4

I see that you are aware of Long Covid, even if this article you wrote in 2022 implies the pandemic is over (it isn't). People are still developing Long Covid every day. Please help us all 😷 newrepublic.com/article/1654…

Michigan, I cannot wait to serve you with the same big heartedness, open mindedness, grit, and earnestness that you've shown me. You welcomed me into your homes, your churches, your synagogues, your VFW and union halls. You shared moments of frustration and sadness and vulnerability with me. You gave me grace and strength at my lowest moments and the hope and inspiration that powered my best. I will bring it all with me to Washington in your service.

🔥 Thread on the #LongCovid denial playbook. Dr. Bonnie Henry and BC Public Health have followed this to a T.

Imagine your job was to make the public doubt Long COVID. You wouldn't try to prove it isn't real. You'd just make it look unsettled, forever. That's the playbook that kept tobacco and climate science "debatable" for decades. Here's what it would look like applied to Long COVID:

The Economy Over Lives strategy was very intentional. That March 2022 State of the Union Address was the nail in the coffin of addressing any airborne diseases appropriately.

As someone who is homebound with long COVID (which happened to me in 2024 well after being vaccinated), the issue is you cannot know who has COVID. We obviously know everybody is not asymptomatic but when you don’t know who is who you have to just mask generally 🤷‍♀️

I'm a sheep who listens to The American Heart Association. heart.org/en/news/2024/10/09…
COVID-19 may increase heart attack and stroke risk for years

COVID-19 may increase heart attack and stroke risk for years

Even if they never became severely ill, people who had COVID-19 in 2020 may face double the risk of heart attack, stroke or death up to three years later, new research finds.
