Everyone who ignored the science and embraced the widespread transmission of Covid... You join in the collective share of the blame for RFK, and you need to understand that and admit it, otherwise there'll be no way out of this.
Right now we’re in it but if you were to look back at this era w the benefit of a century it would be CLEAR that the pandemic, just like in 1918, accelerated fascism as it brought eugenicist ideas into the mainstream
🌸This love had flourished. In a dim, inconspicuous corner, a delicate and mysterious flower slowly unfurled its petals. Although not yet in full bloom, its fragrance was hauntingly beautiful🌸 #RANWAN#Erha#thehuskyandhiswhitecatshizun
We cover much territory here. A takeaway is to learn from the pandemic to do the things we should be doing anyway. Invest strongly in development & R&D because the return is enormous, innovate furiously at all levels (including in financing), be community centric (interventions won’t work well if you don’t), and work together as partners (not as donor-recipients) in the region & with our indigenous communities. Ambition for the ‘big 4’ (HIV, TB, malaria, & COVID), and for 20 or so infections of the NTDs, must be more than building back to where we were because that will not be enough. @gavi@GlobalFund@CentreHealthSec

But risk is not being discussed in the public sphere.
The conversation that needs to happen in public is "is it a good idea to let this virus spread without mitigation?What are the potential downside risks of untrammelled viral evolution?"
This topic seems to be off limits.(7/)
This plays out in the public sphere as well. "Expert" opinion that's soothing or reassuring is platformed, even if it's repeatedly wrong. This is a form of propaganda ("Calm-mongering" @Tryangregory ), & distracts us from the reality : https://t.co/b1mH3x7T2Y (3/)
18 years ago today Anthony Albanese issued a press release about the urgent need to act on climate change.
A child born then can now vote in Australia, where we are still opening new coal mines & logging native forests.

The far-right group AJA attacked Senator Fatima Payman, telling her to “keep your mouth shut” while dangerously conflating Islam with terrorism. Despite spreading hate, like their ‘edited’ Opera House chant video, media continue to platform them, fueling their extremist agenda
I never saw even one Australian politician telling the police to charge Nazi and white supremacist protesters. Not one. Just sayin'. #auspol#StopIsrael
Media organisations which fail to call this an Israeli INVASION of Lebanon are in fact guilty of pro-Israel propaganda.
It’s not journalism. It’s propaganda.
Burnet leads the consortium for the Vic Govt's $9.87m investment in the Pathway to Clean Indoor Air project. “There’s no question devices like portable air cleaners and germicidal UV can remove infectious aerosols from the air," A/Prof @majumdar_suman said https://t.co/ygUoKsECY4
