Not a good day for public health.
#COVID #disinformation
#Twitter will no longer block disinformation about #COVID19.

@Tattoomonkey29 The ramifications are global. There are countries that don't have the same advantages as the USA w.r.t. vaccines, antivirals, availability of doctors, etc.. Allowing mis- and disinformation about any public health issue to spread unchecked on your platform is criminally irresponsible.
@ExPatExp88 @peterquirk I do too!
@peterquirk :( True, we should have done more to get vaccines out to the world faster than the vaccine disinformation spread :( and I hope that efforts are ongoing. What Elon is doing at Twitter on behalf of his christofascist RW overlords is almost guaranteed to cause so much harm to the entire planet that it depresses and infuriates me to think about:( My comment was strictly limited to the morons "here" that have had access and refused vaccines in favor of ivermectin etc..
@peterquirk @Tattoomonkey29 Yeah, it affects everyone… which is why I get upset about it. 😣
