Biden relies on a Vax-and-Relax strategy despite the fact that multiple modalities are needed (Swiss Cheese model) when the vaccine wanes after a few months, has limited protection against transmission, and studies only show protection against Long Covid as being somewhere between 25 and 40%. #COVID#vaccineshttps://www.thegauntlet.news/p/does-the-public-understand-that-variant
We're screwed: "White House chief of staff Jeff Zients has taken a personal interest in the bird flu response." He is worried about "the damage another national crisis would do to the American psyche and Biden’s political standing." Zients previously handled Biden's Covid response. #covid#H5N1 https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/06/bird-flu-dairy-farms-cdc-00156119
Joe Biden is not only committing war crimes. He continues to violate the Bill of Rights by prosecuting Assange for reporting on war crimes in Iraq, giving the government new powers to censor the internet with the TicTok ban & has expanded the ability of the government to conduct warrantless surveillance against those protesting.
No, Covid was not created in a lab: "The available data clearly point to a natural zoonotic emergence within, or closely linked to, the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan. There is no direct evidence linking the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 to laboratory work conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology." #Covid
Suppression of protests against genocide in Gaza in New York. This Nixonian suppression of civil liberties is happening under a Democratic president, a Democratic governor, and a Democratic mayor. #ceasefirenow
How do people seriously claim that the vaccine causes Long Covid when many cases of Long Covid developed in 2000 before the vaccine was even available. Plus multiple studies have shown that incidence of Long Covid is approximately 40% less in the vaccinated. Zero evidence that vaccines cause Long Covid
Democrats say they are fighting for democracy. The problem is that to Democrats democracy means continued wars, censorship of the internet (TikTok)& the press (Assange), elections in which only their selected candidates can run (as they rig their primaries & fight to keep third parties off the ballot), mass surveillance, and mass incarceration.
Beware of the strawman arguments being commonly used against those advocating Covid precautions: Talking about lockdowns when that is not what is being advocated or falsely claiming the goal is zero Covid. We will probably not achieve zero Covid but that does not mean we cannot greatly reduce damage from the pandemic. #COVID
Biden apologists claim he can't do anything because of Republicans in Congress. He has no difficulty circumventing Congress to illegally supply arms to Israel. There is no difficulty reaching a majority in Congress when it comes to violating civil liberties, including expanding mass surveillance and now censoring TicTok.
@freemo@JoeQuinlan@florida_ted No, I didn't say compromise is the problem. The problem is compromising principle--supporting genocide, suppressing civil liberties, cheating in elections, Biden dropping the Covid plan he ran on and switching to Trump's.
Private Practice in Internal MedicineOnly considering candidates who oppose genocide in Gaza, has a plan re Covid, supports reproductive rights & #MedicareForAll. So far only Jill Stein qualifies. Hoping Kamala will change her positions to try to earn my vote. Other interests include #books, #SciFi, #Jeopardy
