There's a lot of confusion about what a Covid endemic phase means. I think this short essay by @ArisKatzourakis @Nature is the best description I've seen nature.com/articles/d41586-0… "a disease can be endemic and both widespread and deadly"

1. This is a must-read from Irish journalist, Tess Finch-Lees, dissecting the recent declaration from Professor Luke O'Neill that the ongoing pandemic is somehow magically over - a declaration made, seemingly, on the basis of a bad reading of @EricTopol tessfinchlees.blogspot.com/2…

Yes! Asking questions key to good science! But "just asking questions" (aka JAQing off) is a #misinformation strategy. JAQers don't want answers. No amount of evidence satisfies. Goal is to create doubt & noise. Toxic denialism. See bigthink.com/thinking/just-a… by @GlimmerGuy

"Just asking questions": How healthy skepticism morphed into toxic denialism

Media provocateurs and conspiracy theorists insist that they're "just asking questions." No, they aren’t.

Dr. Fauci was eligible for his COVID booster shot so Stephen took him next door to the pharmacy to get vaccinated — and they had quite the journey. #Colbert

I need to take action on this email, so it’s important I keep it unread and sitting in my inbox for the next 3, 6, or 12 months so I feel guilt and shame every time I see it which is 20 times a day.

Dear 2022, Thank you for submitting your manuscript. I regret to advise that I did not feel as enthusiastic about it as I wanted to. First of all, there are simply too many plot lines for the average reader to follow.
