Muttapox I never dreamed I’d live in a world where “in the long run, we are all dead” was a cornerstone of public health policy

The playbook for govts to deal with massive scandals & social problems in Aus is to appoint an independent inquiry or commission, spend millions + years investigating + writing reports that no-one will read in full, make recommendns no one will implement, then find no-one guilty.

Really looking forward to seeing what the Australian team’s men can do when their events start.

'They asked us to tell the government about our rapes, about violence, about the abuse we suffered. We told them again and again. 'Tell us one more time,' they said. 'We know this is hard.' But they didn't hear us. Or if they heard, they didn't care.' #DisabilityRoyalCommission

“Flu is riskier/the same as Covid now” 1. Covid has multiple times higher mortality 2. Covid has multiple times higher chronic illness 3. Covid has multiple times higher incidence & prevalence

1 in every 50 deaths in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 & Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 in the last week of July 2024 is officially registered as #Covid At a time when testing for Covid is low compared to earlier pandemic years And everyone’s ok with this? 1 in 50 deaths? From an infectious illness most are ignoring?

Karla tern 💯 I loath wearing a mask. I wear it anyway. Always.

Let me tell you all a little something about Robodebt. At the peak of the fuckery, I spent an hour under my house, standing on a chair, noose around my neck. Crying in frustration, unable to see a way out of the hole they put me in. That's why I am mad about NACC #auspol

Large prospective COVID follow up study in kids. Long COVID rate 7% at 2yrs. Vaccination lowered the risk. Pity we don’t vaccinate kids for COVID in Australia. thelancet.com/journals/eclin…

British COVID-19 Inquiry “While the message of CATA has been consistent, simple and almost unarguable, the institutional resistance to facts of biology and physics has been considerable.” And still no acceptance of airborne spread in the NHS it seems. bohs.org/media-resource…
