“China eats weird animals disease”

Well, maybe you had the seeming transhumanist Big Tech Czar going after Emperor Fauci on your 2022 bingo card, but I sure didn’t. Yet, as Pope Francis loves to say, we do have a “God of surprises,” and I think Elon Musk looking like a veritable white knight against one of the greatest criminals in American history is a surprise, to say the least.

If you weren’t aware, Musk went after Fauci—and gender pronouns, I might add—with a tweet from a few days back, stating: “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci.”

Ontario’s chief medical officer of health waded into the controversial issue of “immunity debt” Thursday, saying the issue needs more study but it makes sense to him that pandemic public health measures such as masking are a factor in the record numbers of young children becoming seriously ill with respiratory viruses this year.

He is certain that Covid had zoonotic origins, but can’t recall a crucial day in the lead-up to him reaching that conclusion

Dr. Anthony Fauci sat for a seven-hour deposition last week as part of a lawsuit brought by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana. The suit claims that the Biden administration colluded with social media platforms to censor information surrounding the origins and circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as information that went against CDC guidelines and mandates around vaccines and efficacy masks.

Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee have issued a minority report that says there are “indications” that COVID-19 was part of a bioweapons program that “spilled over” to the general human population during an incident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

We are experiencing a predictable perturbation in our ecological relationship with the organisms that are capable of causing serious disease

Fans of Little Women will know that Beth March died of the lingering complications of scarlet fever, but who would have thought that this bacterial disease would be in the headlines in 2022? Is this because we have left children who were born during, or just ahead of, the Covid pandemic with an “immunity debt”?

It is now widely acknowledged that lockdowns caused harm to our already stretched health service, with many of the direct consequences such as increased cancer and cardiovascular deaths being reported regularly. Most of these harms were entirely predictable. Less obvious was how some of the more indirect consequences of lockdown might play out, such as the effect on our relationship with other pathogens circulating within our communities.

Nobody thought it was going to be a humble shuffling off into anonymity.

And I suppose we cannot begrudge the most celebrated bureaucrat in the U.S. government a final retracing of his much-trodden path through the green rooms of New York and Washington, D.C.

But still …

My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci

GRIEVING for your old life is one of the hardest aspects about being vaccine-injured. It’s grieving for all the milestones that should have been met, the memories that should have been made, the dreams, shattered and stolen, in the blink of an eye.

Before the pandemic, I had just started university, excited to begin a life dedicated to the stage, a life that I had worked so hard for. There was nothing I wanted more than to be doing what I loved, to be singing my heart out every night.

Now, there is nothing I want more than my life back.
