Today's Annual Climate Change Statement missed a few details. We're here to fill in the gaps. 🧵

I don't know what Musk is on, but it certainly isn't helping his cognitive ability here. He just seems like he's lost his mind now completely. @Yes_IamSancho

This is what very good public health messaging looks like
If you live in a state w/o this quality PH info & advice, pls share with loved ones & colleagues
Note: “mask in high risk settings” in current wave includes any public indoor space where you’re sharing air with others

"surges in other diseases in the wake of the pandemic may not be due to “immunity debt,” as many had earlier suggested, but could be spurred by direct damage to the immune systems of those who had symptomatic and even asymptomatic cases of COVID" dailykos.com/stories/2023/1…

Message #1 for #COP28
Science facts are useful
The planet’s on fucking fire
There are a lot of things we could do to put it out
Are any of them free?
No, of course not
Nothing’s free, you idiots
Grow the fuck up

A response to my comment that society is not protecting covid vulnerable by doing anything to reduce covid prevalence and that society should be ours to live in too without risk of severe illness.
There really is no sense of real social responsibility anymore.

Israeli's should remind themselves of the caricatures of Jews in the 1930's and 40's. This really shows what they think of Palestinian people. Only sociopaths would create these video caricatures

Videos of Israeli content creators making fun of Palestinians suffering without water, and electricity in Gaza are going viral ⤵️

I can assure you, unlike the medical field, no-one in biodefense would have considered the idea of a pathogen being airborne the least bit contentious. I was recommending FFP2 / FFP3 almost from the start.

When COVID-19 surfaced in 2020, the medical field missed something, and it cost lives. Airborne viruses can travel much further than originally thought. To curb infection, we should have focused on indoor air systems. @DrLaPook reports, Sunday. 60Minutes.com

As UK Govt. is using excuse “we’re just following advice of UKHSA”, and UKHSA are members of professional bodies with ethical standards, the answer to apply to their ethical standards boards to have them all struck off?
Given herd immunity can’t work, there’s also incompetence!

"For the United States alone, the economic cost of long COVID is estimated to be $3 trillion over the next five years."
Long COVID is an economic justice issue that we can not afford to ignore.
