For a socialist public health program to eliminate COVID-19 globally! http://wsws.org/covidinquest | http://wsws.org/endcovid I write for the World Socialist Web Site (WSWS.org) on the COVID-19 pandemic, public health more broadly, and other topics.
Anti-vax is now the mainstream GOP position.
They’re starting with COVID jabs because they’re new. And media has been willing to carve out an exception for skeptics of the COVID jabs as though they’re not anti-vaxxers.
But they are and they’re coming after all vaccines.
Read and share today's WSWS Perspective:
"5 years of the COVID-19 pandemic: The origins of a social catastrophe"

Les racines du capitalisme étant celles qui ont dominé la réponse médicale et sociale à la pandémie, on ne s’étonnera pas qu’elles se soient conjuguées dans ce désastre, qui a aussi nourri l’élection de Trump. Un regard parfait sur ces cinq années par @evanblake17.bsky.social
The initial architect of the horrific “herd immunity” mass infection policy towards the COVID-19 pandemic, Trump is picking up where he left off four years ago and escalating far further.

“If people really understood the science behind all this, they would have a very different attitude”
Read & share widely this critical interview with Arijit Chakravarty by @benjaminmateus.bsky.social which draws a balance sheet of 5 years of the ongoing pandemic.

⚠️ BREAKING:
Marin County in California is investigating a possible H5N1 bird flu case in a child.
The county is working with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the CDC to determine how the child may have been exposed.
Trump's plans to eviscerate public health, epitomized in the nominations of Bhattacharya & RFK Jr, will provoke enormous opposition. This must be developed into a conscious struggle for socialist public health, uniting workers & principled scientists globally.

Another way of framing it:
Bhattacharya and his Great Barrington Declaration co-authors were providing scientific cover for an economic agenda supported by right-wing business interests.
They wanted mass infection of the population to keep the economy rolling. They never cared about the elderly.
Ashish Jha was selected by Biden to be the “Covid Response Coordinator” precisely because he supported the pro-corporate GBD policy of mass infection. It’s no coincidence that he’s now endorsing Trump’s ghouls.
I wrote about Jha’s appointment here in March 2022:

The November 20th webinar sponsored by the World Socialist Web Site (@WSWS_Updates) analyzed the cabinet being assembled by Trump. The selection of extreme right-wingers, including outright fascists, marks a new stage in the collapse of US democracy.

I gave this report to the Socialist Equality Party's 8th National Congress. It draws a balance sheet of 2 years of the criminal “forever COVID” policy and what to expect in the years ahead. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
