WHO Chief Warns New Pandemic Could Strike At Any Moment
“As the current outbreak of H5N1 reminds us, the next pandemic may be around the corner. It can come at any time. It will not wait for us.” - WHO Chief

injection marks??? this is absolutely horrifying. this is biological warfare. this is domestic terrorism. god knows what they are trying to infect people with. oh my god
It doesn’t feel like Christmas. Multiple genocides and a raging pandemic. 20,000 are in the hospital tonight with COVID in the US. 20,000+ dead in Gaza. Not a snowflake in sight on a burning planet. it doesn’t feel like christmas…
i hate when people demean what we learn on here as “twitter info” instead of a grassroots effort to share vital information to keep ourselves and our communities safer.
“You’re faking it” is violence. “You’re just anxious” is violence. “Push through” is violence. “I don’t believe it’s actually that bad” is violence. Gaslighting is violence. Denial is violence.
What’s funny about respirators being hated on so heavily right now is do you really think it’s going to be safe to breathe outside in a couple of years? LOL
my thoughts on people posting photos unmasked. As someone who is currently in constant pain because of COVID. And at the worst of it in constant unfathomable pain, to the point where I don’t remember months of my life. There is absolutely no “brunch” that is worth risking this.
We really should talk about how advocating for others to take COVID precautions as a disabled person can put you in danger. As the immediate response is ableism.
2024 will be the first election i would be able to vote in… and i will not be voting for Biden or Trump. I am watching multiple genocides live on Tiktok and i have severe Long Covid. i will not be voting for either of them.
People in the west can be so defeatist. “Oh there’s nothing easy i can do to actually help people experiencing genocide.” Wear a mask. Wear the best mask you have access to.
Right there! Something helpful you could do but yall wont even do the bare minimum.
I’ll do physical health update first. Definitely have COVID rn. Sore throat, sneezing, falling feeling is rly bad again, and vs is a lot worse. But any current sick symptoms are “anxiety”.
“during public health emergencies, such as COVID, avian flu & mpox”
now why would bird flu be a public health emergency in san fran unless… *voice cuts out*
@SF_DPH
Health Clinics are the city’s first line of defense during public health emergencies, such as COVID, avian flu & mpox, quickly linking San Franciscans to life-saving care. There are 14 DPH clinics and 55 partner clinics that serve San Franciscans.
Remember that family in Oregon who suspected they got bird flu from their kid’s soccer game?
A CDC doctor told them it was “just seasonal flu plus pink eye” and the local health authority said they’ll only take action if the state lab says to.
They were unable to get tested.
Oh my god. I cannot believe Jon liked this. After punching down on a disabled person, he thinks disabled people calling him out are bullies??
#PodSaveJon
I wonder if the reason a lot of people in the west don’t care about air quality is just straight up xenophobia? Prior to learning about COVID the only context i’d even hear air quality mentioned was in reference to major Chinese cities.
I also hear from farm workers who believe they’ve been exposed & infected w/
#H5N1
, very symptomatic. They’ve reached out to
@CDCgov
for help, guidance, and mostly testing.
They say, outreach has been ignored; no follow up, no call back, no investigation, no help getting
@dee_bluehead
yes they are. i was in urgent care yesterday for a pcr and i saw a person working the front desk with a bloody eye and UNMASKED. i couldn’t get out of there fast enough and i DOUSED myself in hocl when i got home. it’s already in humans in nyc.
We don’t 💔 Talking to friends there’s always *ifs*. *if* we’re still here in three years. *if* we make it 20. *if* we get to finish college. *if* we still have a livable planet.
Oh, and this is also part of the reason why kids see no hope in their education. It’s not just attacks from the GOP.
Kids don’t think they have a future.
i’m so tired of people saying something with complete confidence that they don’t know anything about and then refusing to be educated on it when corrected
oh sweetie… no…
Bernie had the perfect opportunity to tell people to mask up or rest when they are sick and instead he did that… so he can fuck off.
Pls go listen to
@SFdirewolf
and other disabled ppl.
#PodSaveJon
Just to follow up: the brand of person I was referring to is someone who tells people to fuck off if they choose to work from home while sick. I don’t find that persuasive, I find it unhinged.
Long Covid is real, tragic, and deserves more attention (I had a post-Covid condition
I’m really sick of the “not everything is about COVID” arguments. With the amount of COVID going around constantly most everyone has had it least once and we know it only takes one to have long term devastating consequences to your health.
I want to know when this study was done? If it was 15% then i don’t want to think about how many now.
(i can’t read so no i can’t see it if it’s right there)
Imagine being more upset at the very slight possibility that a tiny portion of your taxes might go towards helping a disabled person rather than your taxes definitely paying for multiple genocides and endless wars
Please take care,
#COVID19
has not gone away. We must remain vigilant and do more to prevent infections, severe disease,

and deaths.

Bernie is not just “feeling under the weather” he tested positive for COVID or SARS-CoV-2. Warning people that a vry real threat is out there is not a hard task. And he is not being “bullied” he is being called out by disabled people. as we should.
My first six months or so of
#LongCovid
i couldn’t even talk about my symptoms without sobbing. they were so intense and painful. i felt like i was falling out of an airplane constantly.
i was only sixteen :(
Honestly i have vry strict boundaries about not wanting COVID deniers following/interacting with me on this account. I am living proof COVID is not “mild”. This is my safe place away from the gaslighting i will not tolerate any denial of my reality.
Thank you Joaquin!! The more emails we can get out the better 💪 They approved another Novavax for 65+ and immunocompromised people. Let’s keep pushing so everyone can have access to the best vaccine by far!!
Email I am sending to the CDC and ACIP committee members to expand approval, please feel free to reformat it in your own words if it helps.
H/t to everyone working on this I've tagged in the photo and the many untagged who are working towards access and equity on vaccines.
Make sure you have an immune panel first. Friend thought they weren’t immune compromised (had no reason to) the whole family had Sarscov2 right before Christmas, youngest got 2nd dose of MMR 3rd week in Jan, the whole family now has measles & they all have CD4 counts <200
@francophobicc
you’re welcome!! i kept losing tweets so i wanted make a thread to keep them together <3
months from now when they ask how it all began we will have records!! there was people paying attention!!
Repeating information is actually vry crucial. A lot of the basics we have down here other people outside of our circles don’t. And you never know who’s watching your tweets.
I learn the difference between a surgical mask and an N95 bc of

@KiraBrook
the WHOs language is vry telling. they didn’t say “the next epidemic” they said pandemic for a reason. H5N1 has been found in mammals in Antarctica. it’s everywhere. a human outbreak doesn’t need to start in the US. and once it’s h2h bc of air travel it’ll be all over vry quick.
Posting this one more time because my account is getting a lot of attention rn. Don’t let not knowing if your insurance will cover it or not having insurance stop you from getting vaccinated! See below for more info!
