1/🧵 Ivermectin & Masks: A #COVID doctor’s opinion…
It’s not political. This is medical.
I’m a dad to 3 daughters w a brother who has Down syndrome. I validate parents who want kids to play freely in school & interact w/out a mask as if times were normal. But they aren’t…

2/ Ivermectin: I have good friends, dear people, who don’t believe they can get #Vaccinated because mRNA #Pfizer & #Moderna were safety tested w fetal cell lines, so they want to use Ivermectin instead.
IMPORTANT…
IMPORTANT…
3/ The Fetal Cell line in question is HEK-293. It was NOT used to create the vaccines. It was used to test them, but so is nearly every other drug in your medicine cabinet, including Ivermectin. More about HEK-293…

4/ If you are avoiding the #vaxx because HEK-293 was used in safety testing, then THROW OUT 1000s of other drugs like Tylenol, aspirin, motrin, Benadryl, Claritin, tums, Maalox, ex-lax, pepto-bismol, atorvastatin, losartan, albuterol, azithromycin, lisinopril, and…IVERMECTIN.
5/ From a bioethical perspective, HEK-293 cells were created 1973. That 50-year distance means involvement in today’s #COVID vaccines is both remote & indirect = no direct or proximate participation in wrongdoing. In fact, quite the opposite. Vaccination is a #CharitableAct
6/ About #masks: No one “wants” our dear kids to be incumbered by something that “masks” their smiles and laughter. #COVID has brought what seems anti-childhood into our conversations. I have actually been against #MandatoryMask for many months. Till #DeltaVariant…
7/ But now things are different. The #Virus is outsmarting us & winning the battle right now. And it is dangerous. I spent last week in the ICU with so many dying people. Young people. It’s shocking us. And we must change course.
8/ I urge maximum protection for us all due to the intense rise in infection rates of #COVID19, now 98% #DeltaVariant. The Ro (R naught) changed from 3 w original virus…to 7 w Delta. This leaves TWELVE times more people infected after just 3 rounds…
9/ The MATH: One person getting infected with #Delta, a child for example, passes virus on NOT to just 3 other people, as w the original virus, but to 7 others. With the original COVID virus, just 3 rounds of infection would lead to 27 people infected (3x3x3=27).
10/ But with Delta, the number can become 7x7x7=343 people with COVID. It’s an infectivity (contagiousness) just shy of Chicken Pox – if you remember how crazy contagious that disease was before #Vaccine.
11/ The people a child would ultimately contribute to getting infected may very well be vulnerable to severe COVID, hospitalization, and even death. Wearing a mask gives each child the life lesson of doing their part to help society and protect others.
