[10 Dec 2024] Opening Remarks from Dr Tedros at yesterday’s @who.int media briefing:

“We cannot talk about COVID in the past tense.

“It’s still with us, it still causes acute disease and Long COVID, and it still kills.

“The world might want to forget about COVID-19, but we cannot afford to.”

This is alarming.

A reminder that Craig R Brittain is a racist misogynist that ran a revenge porn site. He blackmailed women to pay to remove their images and videos.

And of course racism and misogyny often go hand in hand.

Imagine how awful you have to be to be banned by Elon.
