📍Whoa—It’s not everyday a former Surgeon General directly debunks the ex-WH COVID Czar & SA virologist (who has been miserably wrong claiming that OG Omicron was “mild”), both of whom refuted by WHO data. I very much respect @JeromeAdamsMD ever since he left Trump WH. The #EG5…
Here is @JeromeAdamsMD’s epic debunk thread.
@JeromeAdamsMD 3) This surging official hospitalization numbers don’t lie. Its not just elderly - non-elderly adults are seeing hospitalization surges too. It’s honestly also shocking to see ICU numbers doubling in NY as well, especially so soon.
@JeromeAdamsMD 4) #EG5 is soon to be the dominant strain all while other major variants are mostly fading. It’s highly likely EG5 #Eris is becoming a top contributor to hospitalizations, and will continue to cause more havoc as it becomes dominant nationwide and in many other countries.
6) there’s been well over 1000 variants. Only about ~10 have received a nickname. And it’s not done just by evolutionary biologist @TRyanGregory, but by a committee of other scientists too.
7) “A society that ignores COVID is one that devalues the lives and livelihoods of these fellow humans.” ~@JeromeAdamsMD. Thank you for saying this.

9) I do believe we are at the frontier to witnessing a mass-disabling wave of #LongCovid patients in the years and decades to come…

@phil_fink 10) I like that @JeromeAdamsMD tells the public how public support and criticism actually works to stop / spur policy changes inside a WH administration. He is honestly a breath of fresh air these days.
