First they said it’s not airborne, but it is a problem…

Then they said it is airborne, but now it’s not a problem big enough to do anything about…
…and people are still dying, getting chronically ill and the economy is meh*.

I sent my friend,
who used to work in public health,
an article about plans
“to gut vaccine promotion
and HIV prevention office,”
and I asked them
what they think will happen next,
and in response they said:
people will die,
lots of people will suffer and die.

We do not "catch up" on measles infections. Stop it with this immunity debt nonsense.
Frankly one of the dumbest pieces of effectively pro-infection propaganda I’ve ever read. This infectious disease doctor thinks lockdown-induced immunity debt may have caused the Ontario measles outbreak even though this same Toronto Star article points out 96% of cases are along the unvaccinated.

[10 Dec 2024] Opening Remarks from Dr Tedros at yesterday’s @who.int media briefing:
“We cannot talk about COVID in the past tense.
“It’s still with us, it still causes acute disease and Long COVID, and it still kills.
“The world might want to forget about COVID-19, but we cannot afford to.”

The MSM has been blasting ppl with lies about Covid and its harm, refusing to acknowledge literally all peer reviewed scientific research showing that Covid causes permanent bodily damage, to instead push foundational anti vaxx beliefs like getting reinfected w viruses is "good" for you (it's not!!)

Anyway, WEAR A MASK. Covid is airborne and wearing a respirator is the single biggest step you can take to prevent infection. Also, try to stay in well ventilated areas/avoid crowded indoor spaces, test and encourage others to test, stay home if you're sick, and get vaccinated to help prevent death
