We don’t say ‘post HIV’ or ‘post Ebola’, so why are people saying ‘post COVID’? COVID is running rampant due to apathy, ignorance and complacency on the part of governments, public health and healthcare systems www.bmj.com/content/388/...

A 31-year old unvaccinated man has just died from measles in Chihuahua, Mexico. His infection is reported to be related to the Texas outbreak. Four unvaccinated people have died in this measles outbreak so far. The only thing that prevents measles is the MMR vaccine.

🧵There’s a lot of people out there saying that measles is being brought to the US by immigrants, specifically undocumented immigrants crossing the southern border. Let’s talk about measles and migration. ✈️ TL:DR: Measles in the US comes from outbreaks started by unvaccinated traveling Americans.

Are you kidding me?! Think twice before you take that cruise. I worked the COVID cruise evacuations—they scarred me for life. And now? They’ve gutted the CDC unit that inspects cruise ships for norovirus, E. coli & other outbreaks. This is how preventable disasters happen. Again.

To clarify, all my images are how they are seen in the microscope; there is no manipulation. The color selection is arbitrary, but that's about it. They are also all acquired in 3D, and properly analyzed and quantified for data extraction. I use a Zeiss LSM800 microscope and Imaris Software.

“I’m not worried about Long Covid” Of course you’re not. Most people weren’t worried about it, until it happened to them This is true of most disabilities. People think they’re the exception. That we’ve done something “wrong”. It’ll be different for them Disability can & does happen to everyone.

It’s #MEawarenesshour. I’m tweeting in the hope that if more people are aware of M.E. and the way it devastates lives, more effort and funding will be allocated to investigating and searching for answers. We need an agreed, objective diagnostic test for detailed clinical trials.

When they say a disease isn’t high consequence… they don’t necessarily mean that for you, the individual. They mean that more generally… so it might mean for you, or it might mean how easy and likely it is they can replace you…

COVID didn't "turn out fine." Over 1 million people died in just the US. People are still dying. 100s of thousands of people are still dealing with the effects of Long COVID. And the entire country lost its shit and is still unwell. Tariffs will not "turn out fine." Effects will be experienced.

I find it bleakly amusing when commentators remark on how “even doctors” say people are overdiagnosed with mental illness etc. As if the medical profession hasn’t repeatedly been at the forefront of dismissing and gaslighting disabled patients, especially women. Wildly ignorant.
