@simon_brooke that assumes several things that are proven wrong:

  1. #TechBros didn't knew their #Algorithms (they do!)

  2. #GAFAMs were unable to change what gets #boosted by their own Algorithms. (OFC they can!)

  3. The same companies didn't knew the directly-linked damage they can if not cause, at least amplify (see #RohingyaGenocide in #Burma)

  4. #TechBro|s in #SiliconValley weren't #facist to begin with (I mean, #PeterThiel is more of a #norm than #exception!)

  5. That they never before sided with a #POTUS (In fact, they platformed #Trump and his #cult|ist #followers even after their failed #Coup and #HighTreason!)

  6. Said #CEO|s and #CTO|s are powerless to stop any of this (in fact, they could force Trump to resign if they wanted to!)

  7. That Trump exerts control over them (He could as.per #CloudAct but let's be honest, they control him more than he can control them!)

  8. That #TechCompanies from the #USA didn't endorse and platform #facists and #authoritatians (espechally in the #EU) until then.

  9. That the #US became hostile over night.

The CDC has officially recommended the RSV vaccine* for infants. If you are getting the feeling that we are in a more serious situation with #Covid than we have been led to believe...you are correct. The powers that be globally have pandered to the anti-maskers and anti-vaxers for over a year and can no longer ignore the reality.

Be responsible. Get #Vaccinated and #Boosted. Wear your #Mask everywhere. Be forthright in letting people know if you have been exposed or tested positive. Be an adult

@smoke This #COVID article is both scary and explains a lot of symptoms like clotting and “cytokine storm” reactions. There are hints here into why long COVID happens, if front-line immune cells are basically made worse than non-functional by the #SARSCoV2 virus.
This is not exactly my field, and I don’t know all the mechanisms and methods discussed, but… get #vaccinated and #boosted, everyone!
