To add: Olivia Guidry was an emergency room nurse against vaccination that spread misinformation: “It manipulates your DNA at the tiniest molecular level. Do. Not. Get. It. It's not safe." Her death was preventable. Vaccines are safe and don’t manipulate your DNA. #GetVaccinated

Important Covid reminder. Pulse oximeters measure oxygen saturation in the blood. If the oxygen drops below 90% (while sitting or walking) then the patient needs to be admitted for oxygen supplementation. Pulse oximeters cost about $15.
Pulse oximeters are a very effective way of triaging sick COVID patients where vaccines are unavailable. However, if you're fortunate to have access to vaccines then #GetVaccinated
Some of my followers in Australia, Africa etc don't have access to vaccines yet, which make pulse oximeters a good investment

🧵This is a very important video about the pandemic. Dr. Richard Horton is Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet , a United Kingdom–based medical journal. He's an honorary professor at the London School of Tropical Med, Univ. College London & University of Oslo
"The word 'experiment' that's been used is a very interesting word because the word experiment starts off from assuming a position of uncertainty. You do something in order to make a discovery or test a hypothesis, but that's not what we're doing here."
"We know exactly what is going to happen, by taking the course that the government has committed to. We know there will be an increase in infections. That's not an experimental hypothesis to test."
