Economist. No-one uses your academic title in the Netherlands, so I put in my Twitter handle to get some use out of it...

Personal insults get you blocked.

I suspect that the number of people continuously infected since 2020 or 2021 is much larger than we realize. It's impossible to prove, but there are case studies where a chronically infected person gets infected by a new variant, which drives out the original virus...

@GreenEDGEteam I'm staying in the same hotel as your training camp up Teide, and I wondered if you were aware of the elevated CO2 levels (about 1500ppm) in the dining room and associated increased flu/covid/etc infection risks they are exposed to?

@Oldboatie @1goodtern @GwynneMP It is from 2020. Look at the url for the transmission routes guidance he refers to. October 2020.

Riddle me this…

Across England, there are nearly 1,100 FLU patients in hospital right now & suddenly flu is all over the news…

…but the number of COVID patients in hospital has not dipped below 1,100 ON A SINGLE DAY IN THE PAST YEAR!

Yet COVID barely ever gets mentioned.

@Cyclad01 @hettyt_een Als het human-tot-human wordt met R0>2 dan wordt uiteindelijk iedereen besmet. En één van de versies heeft een 50% case-fatality-rate. Maakt de covid pandemie lijken als een dag in de pretpark. Daar bovenop zijn griepvaccins in eieren gemaakt, wat moeilijk op te schalen is.

[Adam Elbourne @DrElbourne]

@Cyclad01 @hettyt_een Waarom denk je dat het risico laag blijft als het human-tot-human wordt?

[Adam Elbourne @DrElbourne]

@Truth_in_Number Maybe they changed definitions. Previously they were counting people with cancer, now they're counting cancerous cells?

@Cyclad01 Het is ook kouder en wij doen meer binnen met slechter ventilatie, ook zonder feestdagen.

Seeing so many people leaving, I've set up an account at the place with no clouds that rhymes with glue dry. Same handle.

Ok, this is actually concerning. The sequence of the hospitalized teen with H5N1 has been released. Both of these mutation sites are known to impact α2,6 binding that is needed for human to human transmissibility.

Need top experts on H5N1 to immediately to look into this.

One of my best friends in elementary school was a boy named Brian. He vanished from class during our 6th grade year: sick. No, we could not visit, the teacher said. We were encouraged to draw and write cards instead. 1/x

@Cyclad01 Lijkt ook niet goed te gaan in Engeland. Daar lijkt het advies te zijn dat als je eerder anafylactische schok van mRNA gehad hebt, krijg je nog steeds de mRNA prik maar in de ziekenhuis om de allergische reactie op te kunnen vangen.

Clinically Vulnerable people with allergies to mRNA vaccines urgently need access to other vaccines such as Novavax.

Without NHS or private availability, they risk being unprotected this winter.

We need more inclusive vaccine availability.

@ActuaryByDay This misses the entire point of alcohol-free beer to me. They're not substitutes for alcoholic beer, they're substitutes for sugar loaded, super acidic soft drinks that rot your teeth and give you diabetes.

@politalk123 @W92Baj @scratchscrotum @marcuschown "In the long run, we're all dead." J.M. Keynes (1923)

I doubt the vaccines are going to change that.

[Adam Elbourne @DrElbourne]

@W92Baj @scratchscrotum @marcuschown And there have been billions of mRNA jabs given. So <500k side effects is <0.02% of all mRNA doses given.

@StuartHaynes1 @devisridhar How do you propose we finance drug development and clinical trials if big firms aren't going to do it? Genuinely curious. Government? Big charities?

Or do you mean something else?
