The “covid is only a threat to the vulnerable” narrative primed the pump for the eugenics movement we’re seeing now.

It conditioned people to see the disabled & vulnerable as acceptable losses. People who were probably going to “die anyways”.

It paved the way for fascism.

Yes, I've been wondering where he went, but I'm not going back on Twitter to find out.

Whilst telling us that record numbers of people are not working since 2019, but not acknowledging that we have had a pandemic in that time and definitely not acknowledging that people are still becoming too ill to work all the time because it's definitely not over.

I hoped Brexit would be the dumbest act of self sabotage I'd ever see, but here we are.

Oooph

Sometimes I think about all the people that said disease control would crash the economy… and then there’s today.

Disease, and a crashed economy.

My last chest infection was 2019 - I usually have 3 or 4 a year. Respirators have made such a difference to my health.

Everyone should be screaming like this! More of this, now please!

Can't believe he didn't realise how tone deaf this was, although I'm angry about loads of things and can't afford to send my kids to private school, so I guess we're the same? 🤔

Yeah I was never sure what I didn't like about him, but this will do nicely.

We Need Mandatory Masking in Healthcare, and We Need it Now Healthcare facilities should set the tone when it comes to masking. They should help patients protect themselves from Covid and other threats. Instead they push droplet dogma and put lives at risk.

“Take off your mask so I can see your pretty face”

“You won’t catch covid HERE! You don’t need the mask”

“You seem anxious about Covid”

“Are you sick?”

Lack of mask mandates in healthcare mean patients are judged, mistreated & harmed when trying to access care

We can do better. Why aren’t we?

As non-Americans, I think our best bet right now is to make our media and public figures stop SANE WASHING all of the crazy coming from the WH. Call it what it is in words that are appropriate: insane actions of a grifting doomsday cult that has taken over the US government.

Yes, as awful as it was, it might not be a bad thing that this has forced leaders to speak out instead of tiptoeing around the situation as they continue to get further out of control. It's only been 5 weeks, the world can't take 4 years of this.

Yes. Grim AF.
Hating the slight insinuation in the media reporting that this was Trump *and* Zelensky shouting and finger-pointing and, worse, that Zelensky may need to eat humble pie.
No. No. No.
This was an ambush. Pure evil.
Zelensky was dignified but wouldn’t fold. They hated him for that.

Honestly, this is all it takes and people will be amazed that they don't have to accept constant bad health.

I've been saying for years now, we won't do anything about this situation until enough people are sick enough for the economy not to function. It's the only thing anyone cares about.

She definitely gives off drunk ex girlfriend vibes.

Spot on

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts.

See how it works?

Also having to answer the question: "if COVID is still around, why aren't we hearing about it anymore?"

I didn't expect my job would include counseling patients on the failures of the media.

Prior to Covid it was normal to mask in the NICU. People understood that premature babies are as vulnerable as they come and need to protected.

Now? Gowns & gloves but no masking.

The damage caused by anti mask rhetoric will be felt for years (possibly decades) to come.

Because there's no downside to not catching the various nasties that you're all repeatedly subjecting yourselves to.

Absolutely this - when people tell me "masks don't work" they are almost always referring to baggy blue masks, worn on the end of their chins, and they are right about that.
Well fitting respirators on the other hand...

I've visited six hospitals this week.
I've actually seen more people in masks than I have in 18 months.

But most of the masks have been ones that aren't designed to protect against spread of airborne disease. They're not the solution.

We need to use the right tools for the job.

When you ARE the joke.

Yes that’s exactly what’s going to happen. 1 in 3 nurses have long covid symptoms now. This is a really serious situation. There are going to be huge labour gaps. They aren’t doing anything to prevent it.

None of these hospital trusts have encouraged face masks before a critical incident has been declared, just afterwards.

Like putting on the parachute after you've hit the ground.

Honestly, it doesn't take a genius to work out that eventually we'll have more people sick than not, then we're really screwed.

1,100 patients in hospital every day last week. 1 in 5 are likely to end up with long covid, that’s 220 patients needing long term care. Much cheaper to mitigate hospitals This is part of the reason the NHS is under such a constant strain. COVID happens 365 days a year! @wesstreeting.bsky.social

EU: "Pediatric treatment against Long Covid needed for children and adolescents" Health commissioner: "Commission recognizes medical and socio-economic consequences of Long COVID"

EU: “Pediatric treatment against Long Covid needed for children and adolescents”

Me: "Since there is no treatment, how about we stop reinfecting children and adolescents and everyone?"
