Can we revive Miasma Theory from the 4th century BC? Maybe it would get folks to take airborne viruses more seriously

If you have Long Covid, and you are seeing what I am seeing—a world that does not seem to care—please know that I care, I know you are going through a lot, please be gentle with yourself ❤️

1986 advice on HIV and AIDS:

They were wrong.

There just hadn't been enough time go by to see what it did longer-term to people.

No, your patient does not have an anxiety disorder because they are wearing a N95 to avoid being reinfected with #COVID after it completely altered their life and killed loved ones. Charting records in this way is punitive, abusive, and stigmatizing; and THAT is pathological.

Hey, how is it that SNL knows “covid” causes dementia but govts/ph/schools/le, are pretending they don’t? PS. “During covid” (airborne SARS2) is now. Why are you infecting your kids in schools and not demanding mandatory masking?

It's more important for kids to stay healthy than it is for them to have stellar school attendance

Wish more people I know IRL would outsource their trust to me on Covid. Not a doctor, but I've been right on a lot of things on this now thanks to the people I follow. Yet IRL folks will literally listen to anyone other than me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just a reminder that you can make masks *a lewk* and actually functional too

I've been away from twitter for 2 months because my best friend has breast cancer & caught covid in the hospital in LIVERPOOL that she was being treated in

this research was done in LIVERPOOL

but staff think we're (displaying obvious signs (sic)) ofanxiety for turning up masked
