Dear Mr. Musk (@elonmusk );
You are destroying @Twitter in countless ways. The most egregious are your calls for Star Chamber prosecution of #TonyFauci . But you have done so much more damage -- enough, that @Tesla is suffering as its stock drops & EV buyers turn elsewhere.

2/ Despite the snarky & sometimes cruel comments levied against me @Twitter (including more than one death threat) I have usually found it a terrific platform. It's like a great newspaper: you have a window into everything from pop music to astrophysics, kittens to kinases.

3/ @Twitter has been a place for all sorts of perspectives -- you never know what comment or video might blow your mind, taking your day on an unexpected tangent. Most Twitterati strived to be smart, funny, maybe snarky -- not pernicious, deliberately false or threatening.

Hi Twitter Unvaccinated folks and Vaccine Non-Believers,
Look, I totally understand you think I’m a moron for believing in vaccines, being vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19.
I mean, I was only following my doctor’s advice. You know I’m on strong immunosuppressives

Given that like millions of Americans, I have an autoimmune disorder and underlying conditions that make me more susceptible to severe disease.
Since the beginning of the pandemic I’ve been reading through tweets from doctors like @ashishkjha and @DrLeanaWen

Trying to glean out what would happen if I came down with the virus 🦠. What would happen to my family if I didn’t recover? I’d lost my job and health insurance due to the pandemic recession.
I read @Laurie_Garrett’s “The Coming Plague” and scoured @apoorva_nyc reporting.

"...the best way to strengthen your protection is to get a booster shot, as soon as you are eligible. Boosters are approved for all adults over 18, six mos past their vaccination and are available at 80,000 locations coast-to-coast. They are safe, free & convenient.

A new @AnnenbergPenn poll on Americans and #COVID19 offers some tough news. First, about a third of Americans believe the Chinese government made #SARSCoV2 deliberately, as a bioweapon. And that toll has increased since April. annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org/science-commun…

2/ Couple that, according to @AnnenbergPenn , with belief by more than half of Americans that #COVID19 came out of the #Wuhan Inst. of Virology -- either deliberately, or accidentally, leaked. Only 13% are sure #SARSCoV2 did NOT come out of the WIV lab.

3/ And @AnnenbergPenn finds that 25% of Americans actually believe -- either absolutely surely or maybe -- that @BillGates has put microchips in #COVID19 #vaccines for some unstated purpose (beyond the zillion ways we are already monitored via our cell phones).

Trump supporters have successfully turned our USA #COVID19 world upside down.
After a year of calling #SARSCoV2 the "China Virus" they "leaked" unconfirmed info on the Wuhan Inst Virology that now has the media self-flagellating about "discounting the lab leak theory."

Then, they wove a false narrative about NIH funding gain-of-function experiments inside WIV that led to creation of a #COVID super-bug, which "leaked" spawning our pandemic.
And then it's "The Fauci Virus" -- all Tony Fauci's alleged idea, and financing.

Now #TonyFauci has gone from being America's #COVID19 hero to the target of hatred --even Donald #Trump Jr tweeted a slightly veiled call for killing Fauci.
As skeptical as you may be about the origins of the virus, consider who stands to gain from the new narrative. And lose.

Saagar Enjeti claims the public health syst is contributing to "anti-vax" sentiment across the country. And at 5:08 in this vid, he attacks me. His claim? Masks & social distancing aren't key to lowering #COVID19 risk, mixed messages frm @CDCgov suck.

3/...is due to the #COVID19 #vaccines.
He blames @POTUS @CDCgov & #TonyFauci for mixed messages leading people to opt for masks etc instead of vax.

Now #TonyFauci is addressing @WhiteHouse presser, talking about #COVID19 #vaccines & OWS.
Highly effective vaccines, "have crushed" diseases like measles and polio.
OWS has backed 6 candidate vaxes. 2 of them "extraordinarily impressive" - Moderna & Pfizer.

2/Fauci
Reviews data on Moderna and Pfizer vaccine data -- "almost to the level of what we see with #measles" #vaccine, 98% effective.
Only way to get an effective program is when ppl take the vaccine. There is reticence in the public. "Speed did not compromise at all the safety"

"Who looked at the data?" It was an independent body -- with no allegiance to anyone. Now @FDA studying.
"We need to put to rest any concept that this was rushed in an inapprop. way."
"The cavalry is on the way."

- There is limited evidence that remdesivir actually works, but if it helps it's when used in early stage disease;
- There is NO proof (yet) that Regeneron's monoclonal antibodies work, but some reason to think early stage admin is best;

The @HumanVaccineProject lab mtg is today is Shane Crotty from La Jolla Institute is speaking on T cell immunity for COVID. 100% of survivors make CD4 resps., 70% CD8 against broad viral antigens. And never-infected make CD4 reaps based on Common Cold histories.
Here's my take on this:
- the immune response to #COVID19 involves both antibodies & the T cellular arm of the system;
- blood samples from pre-COVID 2015 show high levels of reacting T cells (CD4 & CD8): Why?
- it's likely T-cell reactions to common cold viruses, not COVID
