DESCRIPTION:The World Socialist Web Site and the International Workers Alliance of 
 Rank-and-File Committees (IWA-RFC) are holding an online webinar on Sunday, 
 October 24, featuring a distinguished panel of scientists and 
 epidemiologists, to explain the case for the eradication of COVID-19. 
 Workers involved with rank-and-file committees internationally will also 
 participate, speaking on their experiences during the pandemic and raising 
 questions for the panel of scientists.\nAfter two years of the pandemic, 
 the official global death toll from COVID-19 is now over 5 million. The 
 real global death toll, measured by “excess deaths,” is well over 10 
 million. At present, every day nearly half a million people contract 
 COVID-19 and nearly 6,000 die from the disease. The virus is now infecting 
 children in alarming numbers, fueled by the reopening of schools to 
 in-person learning, with unknown long-term consequences for an entire 
 generation.\nIrresponsible and even criminal policies have allowed the 
 virus to spread and mutate. The governments of Boris Johnson in the UK, 
 Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil and others are pursuing a policy of “herd 
 immunity,” that is, the deliberate mass infection of the population. In 
 the US, the claim of the Biden administration that inadequate 
 “mitigation” measures, combined with vaccinations, can stop the 
 pandemic, is belied by the enormous surge in cases and deaths. In Australia 
 and New Zealand, enormous pressure is being brought to bear on governments 
 to remove travel and other restrictions aimed at slowing the spread of 
 COVID-19.\nThe pandemic can and must be stopped. Leading scientists insist 
 that the only feasible and effective strategy is eradication, which entails 
 the universal deployment of every weapon in the arsenal of measures to 
 combat COVID-19, coordinated on a global scale, to stamp out the virus once 
 and for all.\n
This webinar will explain the case for eradication and 
 provide the public with the critical knowledge necessary to develop a 
 broad-based and international movement to end the pandemic and reclaim the 
 future.\n\nSan Francisco:\nSunday October 24 \nUS Pacific Time: 10:00 AM -
