The book doesn't get any better. I didn't need to see firsthand what you saw in order to reject Lee & Macedo's callous claim that since Covid was never an existential threat, reducing deaths & infections should never have been a goal. They reject the effectiveness of NPIs & ignore long Covid harms.

Like Lee & Macedo, Wallace-Wells omits
(1) updated/enforceable standards for indoor air cleaning, filtering & monitoring as essential NPIs in a pandemic playbook &
(2) the severe long-term health harms -disability/death- of novel pathogens.
Mainstream media and the polls likewise disregard both.

💯 We have been on our own since you-do-you replaced actual public health policies whose goal is to protect all of us.

The Toronto Public Library applied its grasp of airborne transmission & the importance of monitoring CO2 by lending CO2 monitors. Few public libraries in the US followed suit. The Dept of Public Health in LA County still lists handwashing as the first NPI for reducing the spread of flu in 2025.

Another way to channel public opposition to the ongoing harms: Submit written comments and register to make oral comments at the upcoming ACIP meeting on Dec. 4/5. Our voices need to be heard and documented.

Worse than "weakened"!
It's important to raise our voices by publicly commenting, experts and lay people alike, to mitigate the ongoing harms to vaccine access by the ACIP panel.
Dr. @kaitlinsundling.bsky.social makes it easy.

How many cases of pneumonia that resulted in death were caused by Covid?

If the pneumonia that caused death was a complication of COVID, then COVID was the cause of death; they wouldn't have died if they hadn't gotten COVID.

Do current European attempts to bring outdoor poultry indoors mitigate the spread from migratory birds?

Do we wait till things get "bad" before taking simple precautions like masking? Until then do some of us actually have "time to get sick"? Do other epidemiologists mask to keep us from reaching that "epidemic threshold," or at least reduce the harms from airborne pathogen spread?

Thanks. My experience with Costco pharmacies is that they do a good job of billing insurance, including Medicare Part D. Unfortunately, CMS doesn't include some important preventive vaccines like Tdap and Shingrix in Part B.
