What’s going on in the US about public health is unrivalled destruction. Great thread by @SGriffin_Lab on Thread Reader App

@SGriffin_Lab: The culling and replacement of #ACIP at RFK's behest is shocking, sure. However, what we absolutely MUST NOT forget is that the long-term aim of this 💩 is to normalise the adoption of...

Presidential Memecoins. Oligarchy. Withdrawal from WHO. Removal of Biden protections on Pharma costs. Mexico and Canada to face 25% tariffs imminently. Uncertain future for Ukraine. No president has so damaged the reputation of the USA in so short a time.

This is maddening. Endemic viruses do profound harm, never mind pandemic SARS2, but they're "predictable" SARS2 evolves ~3-4x rate of fastest seasonal 'flu, H3N2 We vax kids vs flu, not SARS2, RSV or VSV (yet...JCVI recs?) Individual acute/long-term risk SCALES BY PREVALENCE
No need for a specific public health campaign on why clinically vulnerable people need to wear masks said Prof Harries "we are now with Covid in the exact same place as we are with flu, RSV or other pathogens"

Just pondering... How many hepa filter units could you buy with the money spent on a single ICU admission? Or, perhaps several months sick pay? Or, a single monoclonal antibody infusion? Or, a funeral? #PreventionBetterThanCure

Hi @sainsburys. This labelling can’t be right surely? Same unit price, same drained weight, but big difference in weight per 100g

🚨 "The report noted the contrast between the approach in the UK and that adopted in (for example) Taiwan and South Korea, where it was understood that the spread of a dangerous infectious disease should and could be stopped." - @GabrielScally
"The most recent assault on public health discourse is the growing use of the term 'non-pharmaceutical interventions' instead of 'public health measures.' This redefining of public health . . . is lazy and inaccurate." @GabrielScally
