For 19 months, I've been constantly attacked for advocating for elimination, and saying SARS-CoV-2 isn't a virus we can and should live with. It's been evolving in one direction from the start- greater transmissibility, escape & virulence. 🧵

This is fucking moronic. Elimination is IMPOSSIBLE. It was NEVER going to happen. It’s a virus that infects and spreads among many, many other species. And poorer places like India could never eliminate it. This is a loony-bin goal; all it would do is keep us locked up forever — which is the actual goal here, of course.
