The overarching template of tectonic shifts in the Western world is that the coalition of the attention economy and the information economy against the production economy (the firewall) bc the information economy starts realizing that the attention economy was lying all the time.
Fem år efter at den første dansker blev testet positiv for covid-19, har vi fået erfaringer, som gør, at vi er bedre rustet til en lignende sundhedstrussel. Det har direktør @henrik_ullum talt med @berlingske om.

When I wrote an oped opposing this misguided bill, I knew I was screaming into the void. Bc there's nothing that @MoCoCouncilMD loves more than ignoring scientific evidence in order to appear more virtuous. It passed unanimously. Thoughtful reasoning didn't stand a chance.
It's so depressing how many Jews are sharing that (obviously AI) video of Hollywood celebrities in shirt with the middle finger, a Star of David and the word "Kanye." Can we just not be so thirsty for these Jewish celebs, most of whom wouldn't spit on us if we were on fire if that meant they'd lose an inch of standing in Hollywood, most of whom haven't said one word in our defense since 10/7. Don't be so desperate for them. They have shrunk their Judaism down to nothing and they hide it away and only use it when they can hurt the rest of us with it. Forget them. Don't wait for them to fight for you. They never will. Fight for yourself.

R to @ECDC_EU: Lower the risk of catching the #flu & other respiratory viruses! Follow these steps:
💪get vaccinated if you are in a risk group
😷wear a mask if experiencing symptoms
🤧 cover your mouth & nose when sneezing
🙌 wash your hands well
🌬️ventilate your room
🏠stay home when sick
There is currently significant respiratory virus activity in the EU/EEA, with both #influenza & #RSV epidemics ongoing.
#Vaccination campaigns against respiratory pathogens continue in many EU/EEA countries & people who are eligible for vaccination are encouraged to do so.
Dallo studio Eurosurveillance di @ECDC_EU emerge che nel 2024 il virus della #poliomielite è ancora presente nelle acque reflue di 5 paesi europei (Finlandia, Germania, Polonia, Spagna e Regno Unito); necessario continuare a fare prevenzione.
