truly criminal
@anneapplebaum At one event, Netherlands-based immunologist Carla Peeters said she believed COIVID-19 had already entered its “endemic” stage, meaning it was no longer a pandemic. She also claimed masks do not prevent transmission and that the virus is “not that dangerous for younger people”.
@anneapplebaum @harrylitman When it comes to covid infection rate America is totally different from any other country. First American international airline travel in and out is busier than any other country. So any variant will be on our shores in hours. Once it’s here it’s here. Wash rinse repeat
@anneapplebaum The cruelty is the point ethos is a world wide trend
@anneapplebaum But not surprising. In the 20th century some Western scientists were developing an epidemic disease which would only affect people with African blood. African demographics have always been of concern in Europe.
@anneapplebaum Shocking and depressing. My recent work looks at how approaches to end-times beliefs are among those being deployed in order to advance right-wing agendas (including anti-vaccination & anti climate change action). It may be of interest: wipfandstock.com/9781725258440/…
@anneapplebaum @harrylitman Someone please explain to me what the benefit is to having an unvaccinated world.
@anneapplebaum Terrible! I see GBD feature large and the infamous Claire Craig gets a mention @Aw_what @karamballes.
