1/ Dear #ILD #medtwitter, what about we discuss ILA (interstitial lung abnormalities) definition?

I am so curious to know how you all see this complex subject (just ILD being ILD, right? :-)

So please answer the poll bellow and/or comment; This is much appreciated!
2/ You understand the term ILA as an imaging alteration that consists of:
#pulmonaryfibrosis #ILD
3/ If you answered that ILA should be defined as *mild* imaging abnormalities (thought to be interstitial in nature) in the poll above, I would like to know how you think we should be the best way to define *mild*.
4/ Out of curiosity, would you code that as ILA? 🤔
5/ And what about this case, should that be coded as ILA? 🤔

1/ Olá @TwitterBrasil ,📢:
Venho aqui protestar contra a INDIFERENÇA do @instagram @Facebook frente à pandemia COVID-19 no Brasil🇧🇷:

A plataforma deles vem sendo usada para comunicar informação 😃 instagram.com/p/CRDsdt5qmki/

e desinformação 😖em COVID-19🦠

Mas...
2/ @instagram se recusa a assumir a responsabilidade social frente à COVID-19:

❌ recusa-se a verificar perfis alinhados com o consenso cientifico internacional de alto padrão (como o @Twitter fez por ex.)

⚠️ Mas verifica 😱perfis que comunicam desinformaçao em Covid (!!) +
3/ O tamanho do lucro📈💰 turvou a moral do vocês @instagram ?

Ser indiferente frente à COVID-19 é ser cúmplice das mortes evitáveis no 🇧🇷

1/Hello colleagues in 🇬🇧, why do you do that?
You probably know how to evaluate the quality of evidence, why rating HIGH quality 2 RCTs that are not HIGH quality? And then yielding biased net results?
It probably doesn't change much in your country BUT+ academic.oup.com/ofid/advance-a…
2/ Are you aware that these publications fuels widespread off-label use of Ivermectin in Brazil, where the pandemic has NO scientific guidance?

Do you know that there are young people going into liver transplantation bc of Ivermectin in Brazil?
saude.ig.com.br/2021-03-24/ao-…
3/ Are you aware that people believing ivermectin will protect them, they take the drug and go out to live normal life, risking dying from COVID-19?

You want to justify your RCT & I want to let you know about the consequences of this type of publication in my country, +

1/ Hello @Twitter community, coming here to protest against the INDIFFERENCE of @instagram when it comes to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil 🇧🇷

Their platform has been widely used to disseminate information & fake news on COVID-19

But,

instagram.com/p/CRDsdt5qmki/
@Facebook Image
2/ @instagram refuses to assume responsibility for the content posted on its platform

(probably bc it is profitable to let things run wild as it is going. In 2019 they made USD $69.7 billion in advertising fees)

@ChanZuckerberg

3/ Hello, @instagram people are dying in Brazil *due to fake news*. You could be part of the solution.

STOP refusing to verify✔️🔵 scientists that are voluntarily communicating science & protecting the pop from COVID-19

Ban accounts communicating fake news! Image

1/ 💥Effectiveness of Coronavac (Sinovac's vaccine) in Chile - prospective national cohort (Nordic research style, Chile? 😎)
Just out in the @NEJM!

Thread 🧵 Image
2/ Estimates of vaccine effectiveness in Covid-19 are essential 💥 bc they reflect real-world challenges (logistics, cold chains, vaccination schedules, and also involve more diverse populations 🧓🧒👩‍🦰👲🧕 than those selected in RCTs)

sample in this study: > 10 million people Image
3/ Note how interesting the differences in age and in comorbidities between vaccinated and unvaccinated groups:

⚠️ Unvaccinated are mostly young and w/o comorbidites

💖 Vaccinated are older and more frequently have comorbidities Image

1/ A 🧵 on the #pandemicide in 🇧🇷

* Pandemicide: The willful act of ignoring pandemic spread to selectively eliminate those who it will affect most..low and middle-income folks and racialized persons @DrBarbKing

Bolsonaro: "Only the weak dye of Covid19"
euronews.com/2020/04/06/a-l…
2/ The word pandemicide seems to have been used for the first time by @Laurie_Garrett to describe the 🇺🇸 Covid19 situation under the Trump administration
#pandemicide

I do like the term, but let's not forget that pandemicide, at least in 🇧🇷, refers to...

3/ ...An eugenic genocide as an attempt to get rid of the most vulnerable and poorer. It has been disguised under the herd immunity debate, at least by some here in Brazil.

This is not a figure of speech. Please follow me in this thread:

Covid-19 in Brazil: the government has failed to prevent the spread of covid-19 disq.us/t/3vbqfgd Image
2/ The report, now in English, by Prof @Deisy_Ventura and Prof Aith clearly demonstrates the deliberate intention to push the population towards Covid-19:

conectas.org/wp/wp-content/… Image
3/ By March 2021, all the accumulated evidence on the actions of the Brazilian Government points towards premeditated actions to kill people.

This is not simply incompetence or scientific illiteracy, it is much worse.

Speak up, act those who can!
