Hey #medsky, the people at the top of infection control and public health have sold you out. You CAN protect yourselves - but if you actually do, it shows them up as negligent. Or you can roll the dice - over and over. They're showing us which option they like better. How lucky do you feel today?

Doctors Thrilled You’re Post-Covid, Recommend Rest, Flu, And Some More Covid

History shows it clearly: austerity creates the conditions in which fascism thrives. When governments strip away public services, weaken safety nets and deepen inequality, people lose hope in democracy and turn to authoritarian “strongmen.” youtu.be/UMa-aZVLI6I?...

English water companies spent £16.6m fighting legal action against regulators and campaigners over environmental breaches. Abuse of bill payers. Companies pay lawyers instead of investing in infrastructure to prevent sewage dumping.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Not a word about Covid, Covid brain damage or long Covid. Now there’s a surprise.

Second client this morning looked tired. Encouraging him to disclose his symptoms revealed head cold, cough, sore throat like swallowing broken glass, upset stomach, very tired. Anyone like to guess the diagnosis?

If you think this is wise, then at least be honest. You agree that the risks of infection are acceptable because they're cheaper than a vaccine. This is in spite of not counting long-term, transmission, or socioeconomic benefits. You ignore impact upon kids. Shame on you.

I despair. Whether SARS2, flu, measles, or zoster, populatn vax MUST be dynamic. You can't just stop, or restrict indefinitely. People die, are born, and age. Immunity wanes. Viruses evolve, especially pandemic ones. Vulnerable populations don't disappear, they increase...

Six Reasons Doctors Think It’s Hilarious That You Are Worried About Covid.

UK invests 18.2% of GDP in productive assets. France 26% Germany 25% OECD average 23% Why? Poor corporate governance Companies hollowed out by excessive shareholder returns. Execs rewarded for short-term returns. Long-term neglected. Lack of direct state investment in infrastructure.

Tonight, please spare a thought to all our scientists and public health workers who have dedicated their careers to saving millions of lives. Despite their amazing work they are constantly threatened due to politicization and the unfettered spread of misinformation. It should not be like this 💔

What a mess …

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause. The removal was blamed on a "coding error." Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...

At his confirmation hearing, RFK Jr claimed he wouldn’t take away vaccines. So far he has: Removed COVID vaccine recommendations Fired the CDC’s vaccine committee Replaced scientists with antivaxxers Cancelled vaccine hesitancy research Pulled $500m in mRNA vaccine research

www.theguardian.com/environment/... Pithy read about unequal societal collapse - today’s difficulty.

Pandemics cause society to reorganise itself, eventually, when the labour shortage, the harvest shortage and everything else collapses the current civilisation. It’s happened before. I just wish we didn’t have to live through it.
