When I see the reports on various media outlets that this latest COVID variant has 'Caught us by surprise' I honestly need a test to make sure this is not a parallel universe.

Later in the news, water has been found to be wet. #COVID

Please stop saying Djokovic “was unable” to play the US Open last year. He CHOSE not to play because he is a dangerous anti-vax speader of disinformation. #tennis #getVaccinated

"As news reports on infections increase, we must remember that we are no longer in a Covid emergency: we are in a phase of management, and the difference between crisis and non-crisis must be made clear in public messaging. There is a risk to crying wolf too many times."

EG.5 has been classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a COVID-19 "variant of interest." https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/09082023eg.5_ire_final.pdf

Get Vaccinated.
scientists forecast 839,000 Covid hospitalizations with 87,000 deaths, and—at best—484,000 hospitalizations leading to 45,000 deaths over the months ahead. The most concerning scenario for this year’s flu season would involve a rise in Covid cases coupled with R.S.V. and influenza that could easily overwhelm hospitals as it did last year. #covid #GetVaccinated #vacination

PIGMALEON
by Gorged Bernard Pshaw
A roughly sculpted statue of a boring, boorish boar is willed to life in human form by deplorable American citizens. The swine runs for U.S. president, wins, terrorizes the U.S., then sets its sights on world domination, but dies from swine flu before its dream is realized... because it had forgone getting vaccinated against swine flu. Sow depressing. Sad.

When you refuse to live in the world of reality this is what you get. Same with anti vaxxers and anti maskers. Problem is that they spread the disease to those of us who do live in reality & who are working hard not to catch this potentially deadly virus. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/23/80-of-people-in-china-caught-covid-since-early-december-say-officials #covid19 #GetVaccinated #WearAMask

RT @han_kyoul@twitter.com

i was recently told that we need to be exposed to the SARS-COV2 to build our immune system. how insane is this piece of 'common wisdom'! please do everything you can to avoid infection. #GetVaccinated #WearAMask https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00086-1

An extended vax-reluctant relative (merely got the 1st when Trump was touting them) was hospitalized with COVID, sepsis, mid-80s O₂, and a PROFUSELY BLEEDING PENIS!!!

Granted, correlation ≠ causation, but I quickly found scientific studies pointing to COVID infecting genitalia.

Given how men (in general) feel about their willies, if that kind of report won't inspire protecting themselves, I don't know what will.

They have no morals or ethics & they don't mind risking the lives of children for their insane beliefs. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/1/20/2148218/-Utah-plastic-surgeon-injected-kids-with-saline-instead-of-COVID-vaccine-as-part-of-anti-vaxxer-scam #politics #vaccinessavelives #getvaccinated #wearamask

Our of town, running errands.
Saw 3 people on a street corner protesting vaccinations. Nobody was honking in support. Flipped them off as we drove post. #GetVaccinated and #WearADamnMask

I mentioned this yesterday, since 500 #COVID19 deaths are happening every day in the United States, I believe #CovidIsNotOver

Meanwhile at the #Davos conference, this is how the wealthy are protecting themselves.

https://twitter.com/DavidJollyFL/status/1615549724865568769?t=TGHpe10-4Fn7Gskq5zonAQ&s=19 Wanted to share this with everyone here. I also want to add that it appears that the right wing attacks on twitter within the past few weeks have been entirely aimed at covid vaccine misinformation. Given what is happening in China I would guess that getting vaxed and boosted should be a priority! #GetVaccinated

@micropainter doing what's best for your community by #WearAMask #GetVaccinated somehow violated one's personal freedom.

Once that became acceptable, society stopped being about the commons and selfishness was normalized.

How that gets reversed, I fear, will be an immense challenge.

@mayaisloading Lol...the entire GOP needs to hear that and when it comes to covid, lying can take your life #GetVaccinated
