Hmm, new #COVID data point. My son, the paramedic, says he's seeing a TON of new cases (hasn't been seeing any for months). Told me to wear a mask if I go out to the store tonight. #VenturaCounty#pandemic
"#Meta acknowledged…to The Washington Post that Threads is intentionally blocking the search terms ["covid" and "long covid"] and said that other terms are being blocked, but the company declined to provide a list of them. A search by The Post discovered that the words…“coronavirus,” “vaccines” and “vaccination” are also among blocked words." https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/09/11/threads-covid-coronavirus-searches-blocked/

[...] Documents show that the World Health Organization knew from the start that SARS-Cov-2 was airborne. They knew that '[a]irflow and ventilation were identified as important factors influencing efficient spread in hospitals,' but did not provide ventilation guidance to the public for years."
They want the pandemic to end by having people “make the courageous decision” to expose themselves to the Covid virus
They’re a big group of committed vocal minimizers like Gounder & Ghandi and 2nd generation minimizers like Slavitt and Frieden
Plus many many Democrat and Republican former governors, chiefs of staff, congressmen, White House staff, NSC-types

An interesting member is their VP for Science & Strategy, Steven Phillips MD, MPH
He used to be the Medical Director for Global Projects at EXXON
He’s spoken repeatedly about the need to have courage and expose yourself, thereby ending the “Covid divide” (see photo below, from August)
How can so many people have signed on to this, and be willing to promote a basically eugenicist approach to this #pandemic?
Their ideas have flooded the world—scientists and doctors at some of the world’s leading universities are preaching against masks, in favor of “hybrid immunity,” even against vaccines
Signs on public transit say, “forget the mask” 😬
The president himself says I’m taking off my mask🦧
"Biden has steered the country out of a #recession and #pandemic, gotten through a slew of critical legislation (some bipartisan), avoided a default on the #debt, set the stage for about 14 million new #jobs and overseen a resurgence of manufacturing. Internationally, he has restored the #UnitedStates’ image and solidified and expanded #NATO in defense of #Ukraine.
Had a discussion with a friend on CDC isolation guidelines & how we’re fostering a culture of eugenics & forced infection. Their response? “More like we’re just finally going to stop paying people to sit at home.” This is someone who had been a kind & logical person.

More people died in the US yesterday from COVID-19 than died in the wildfires in Hawaii. Please take care out there and make sure you wear your N95 mask or other respirator when you're around other people.
