This is Anna, a student in Tbilisi who was heading to a lecture I gave there on Wed--but didn't make it there because she was arrested in front of the university for taking part in protests against the regime's authoritarian, Russia-aligned policies and political repressions.

This is an important moment. After more than five years of silence, mainstream media has begun to acknowledge that C19 can harm T cells, and to discuss the consequences that follow. @fitterhappierAJ was one of the first, if not the first, to talk about this. 1/x

So, to those who say "masks don't work", cite the flawed Cochrane report, insist upon an unfeasible RCT, accuse folks of panic, and undermine public health on social and mainstream media during a flu/RSV epidemic... 1. Seasonal viruses may be "normal", but they do immense harm.

JPWeiland@jpweiland.bsky.social · 11mo agoThe CDC quietly neutered the best Covid data on the planet yesterday. ED data visualization has been stripped of age stratification, and state-by-state trends. ED data has been far better for state by state trends than WW. Poof.
The truth is most people don’t give a shit about the rule of law, or due process, or laws of war, or freedom of unpopular speech or unpopular religion. Just about every modern civilizational advancement out of barbarism gets only occasional lip service and is unpopular in particular instances. /1
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Remember: Lindsey Boylan doesn’t just offer firsthand knowledge of how reprehensible Andrew Cuomo was PERSONALLY as governor. She also has the receipts testifying to his awfulness in a PROFESSIONAL capacity.

All he knows is how to curry favor with private sector leaders to fund his campaigns. By “pro-corporate” he means pro grift.

1. I've said exactly this for quite some time. Expanding on Adrian's @sillyputty78.bsky.social point on X / Twitter here, Covid-19 has three distinct characteristics as a disease that enables it to be denied at a societal level.
Every living person is someone, those saying Covid is not a threat to anyone discount you from being a living breathing person. Covid is a threat to everyone Mis information is a threat to everyone! Those who tell you Covid is no big deal are misinforming you.
