Everything about SARS-CoV-2 weakens us as a species. Population-level immune dysregulation leading to both reactivation of latent pathogens and creating niches for new ones; the politicisation of our response regressing public health and massively amplifying anti-vax ideology.

Guess what was done in Australia. Modelling of infection spread so businesses could manage shortages, rather than for prevention.
During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

This is so odious and spiteful. But par for the course for these monsters.
🚨Dept. of Education proposes to exclude public health degrees from the “professional degree” category.
That means new public health experts could lose access to key higher ed resources, like loan limits & reimbursement.
A bold strategy to let infectious diseases win! 🦠

We have compulsory, mandatory voting for every Aussie citizen over 18. You HAVE TO vote, it's the LAW. Making gerrymandering pointless here in Oz.
We also use PAPER BALLOTS, or pre-polling (at places) and mail-in ballots. NO COMPUTERS involved. No election 'companies' involved.

The Liberals are considering dropping net zero because they’re riven by internal dissent. They care more about polling than about policy - more about their own ambitions and donors than about their constituents and their country.

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that
