Introvert, books, art, 30+ years primary teaching, #auspol. Left and leaning more-so every day. Covid aware, teach daily in an KN95. It's not a war, it's a genocide. On Wadawurrung land.

Victoria has a new chief health officer, as Covid XEC surges in state.

Victoria has a new chief health officer — the government’s third in just the last few years, after ‘Dan’s man’ Brett Sutton quit in mid-2023. The former WA and NT CHO has a background in the health impacts of climate change and Covid responses.

Please ignore the anti-vax trolls. If you reply, it just gives me more stuff to tidy. These issues are occurring in kids globally, including in countries where children have no access to covid vaccines.

I’m also very concerned about the elevated mortality rates for children, especially since the data for children stopped being published after Q1 2024. Is anyone looking into this? Please will you consider publishing the hidden mortality rate data for children once again?

I don't think they've suddenly acquired a sense of morality and justice. They're reading tea leaves of the US election and realising that when you're trying to convince people you're less evil than the other guys, supporting and lying about a livestreamed genocide undermines that message somewhat

From this perspective, Trump and Musk believe the men on Earth so designated by dint of their wealth, ruthlessness, and self-seen kingliness must work together to shape the planet. Putin qualifies; Erdogan qualifies; Xi qualifies; Milei qualifies. It's a club—and democracy has nothing to do with it.

Let me state this is bluntly as I can, as a biographer of both Donald Trump and Elon Musk: Vladimir Putin is now inside the U.S. government, with visibility into absolutely everything. He has that access through Trump, Musk, and David Sacks. We are fully infiltrated. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/13/u...

9. All journalists, all the time, should ask themselves: “Why is this the angle?” “What aren’t we seeing?” “What aren’t we saying?”. The story I tell in the article at the top of this thread is a story of suggestibility. Let’s not be dupes.

I remain stunned by how few men I see speaking out about Gisele Pelicot. We NEED you to condemn this behaviour. To hold your fellow men responsible. Too many men participated in these atrocities… and what’s particularly galling is of the men who declined to participate … no one sought help /1 🧵

Almost finished Part 1 of my series on Masks in Healthcare - I received so many responses that one article wouldn’t have covered everything! It’s been dreadfully hard to write - mainly because of the callousness shown by many healthcare workers who responded to my question “why don’t you mask?” 🧵/1

Good 🧵by @outbreakupdates (from Twitter) on how "The normalization of disaster is eroding our willingness to demand meaningful change..." threadreaderapp.com/thread/18481...
"Our complacency is rooted in a false sense of security.

We’ve seen how diseases can cross species barriers.

But we’ve convinced ourselves that this is something that happens “over there.”

In distant countries, on isolated farms, or in wet markets we never visit.
