Recently, after a week in which 2,789 Americans died of #COVID-19, President Joe #Biden proclaimed that “the #pandemic is over.” Anthony #Fauci described the controversy around the proclamation as a matter of “semantics,” but the facts we are living with can speak for themselves. #COVID still kills roughly as many Americans every week as died on 9/11. It is on track to kill at least 100,000 a year—triple the typical toll of the flu. Despite gross undercounting, more than 50,000 infections are being recorded every day. The CDC estimates that 19 million adults have long COVID. Things have undoubtedly improved since the peak of the crisis, but calling the pandemic “over” is like calling a fight “finished” because your opponent is punching you in the ribs instead of the face.

The Pandemic’s Legacy Is Already Clear

All of this will happen again.

Anfang der 1990er Jahre ... unsere Freude, Partner, Weggefährten erkrankten, litten, starben ... und es schien keine #Hoffnung zu geben ...
wie all dem Leid, all der Trauer, all der Hoffnunglosigkeit Ausdruck verleihen, und dabei nicht den #Mut verlieren?
Damals sah ich #PatinaDuPrey in ihrem #MemorialDress zum ersten Mal tanzen ... in einem #Kleid bedruckt mit den Namen tausender an #Aids Verstorbener ...
Hunter Reynolds, der Schöpfer von Patina, #Künstler und #ACTUP #Aktivist, hat am kommenden Samstag 63. #Geburtstag. Hunter starb vor 6 Wochen in new York.

The deal involved two companies, both of which could not have sounded more unimportant: an air carrier called #Skybus Jet Cargo and a #Delaware -based firm, International #Logistics Support, which had arranged the flight. But, ultimately, the deal between the two companies fell through. The plane never took off. And shortly after, International Logistics Support sued Skybus for damages in a #Miami court. With the resulting 300-plus pages of court documents, I was able to piece together these basics.
Still, there were big holes in the picture. For instance, who purchased the animals? How many were there? What species? (My best guess was long-tailed macaques, which are commonly sourced from Mauritius.) Where—which lab or labs—were the monkeys supposed to end up? And why, exactly, didn’t the flight take off as planned?
So I kept digging. I read everything I could find about the case. I submitted public records requests to the Centers for #DiseaseControl and Prevention, the National Institutes of #Health, the Fish and #Wildlife Service, and the United States Department of Agriculture, all of which oversee nonhuman primate trade, transport, and research. I asked #animalrights groups, government officials, and academics if they had any information about the case. I reached out to the companies involved, only to conduct a series of fairly fruitless interviews with the owner of International Logistics Support, a guy named Matthew Block, who, it turns out, is something of an infamous character among animal rights groups. From nearly everyone else? Crickets.
Navigating the monkey business, I learned the hard way, is a bit like navigating a, well, jungle.

A plane of monkeys, a pandemic, and a botched deal: inside the science crisis you’ve never heard of

Experts say there’s a dire shortage of primates for biomedical research—and it’s putting human lives at risk.

#Pfizer to offer all its #drugs not-for-profit to 45 lower-income countries

source: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/may/25/pfizer-to-offer-low-cost-medicines-to-45-lower-income-countries

“We are living in a time where science is increasingly demonstrating the ability to take on the #world’s most devastating diseases,” Albert Bourla, Pfizer’s chief executive, said. “Unfortunately, there exists a tremendous #health #equity gap in our world that determines which of us can use these innovations and which of us cannot.”

Piggy smart calmly pronounces an obvious #problem only what are the causes?

Is there a more obvious contradiction in #capitalism than in health care? The profit motive of pharmaceutical companies does not make it profitable to help poor people. Already with the help for #Aids, #Africa was simply forgotten. In the case of #Ebola outbreaks, Western aid only arrives when the #disease threatens to spread to the West via airports.

If you think this #pandemic is the worst thing that could ever happen, think again...

You can watch the series "Station Eleven" to see a real worst case scenario for a pandemic.

-> https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/90972-station-eleven

Even though many confused people preach the end of freedom or the end of the world, we are still trapped here in the paradisiacal version of hell.

In Africa, the next #Covid version is being incubated, which will then quickly spread northward because of #globalization. We should have shared our #vaccine fairly, but that's not how #capitalism works. Therefore, no vaccine against malaria exists yet and the #AIDS medicines only provided relief for poor people when the #patents expired.

Station Eleven

A post apocalyptic saga spanning multiple timelines telling the stories of survivors of a devastating flu as they attempt to rebuild and reimagine the world anew while holding on to the best of what's been lost.
