The whole office got covid at my friend’s office Holiday Party in CT.
As per @CDCgov: vaxxed/ boosted. SO… no masks, indoors.
Several are more than mildly symptomatic. Half will statistically develop longterm organ/ vascular issues.
Remind me how this strategy is good?
How can we blame people for not knowing how to protect themselves when public officials like @CDCgov and Fauci STILL tell everyone they’re safe when they’re not?
Perhaps I don’t need to point out the exponential growth factor.
But.
The exponential growth factor.
I’m glad that close to 150k people have seen this tweet so far & hope it saves some heartache over the coming months.
Our leaders have miserably failed to tell the truth & protect us.
Our lives are in our own hands.
Lead. Don’t follow.

It’s crushing to hear such outcry abt overwhelmed hospitals knowing early, outpatient treatment would have significantly reduced that burden & saved countless lives.
That so few are talking about this is mind-blowing.
Not prioritizing early treatment was a grievous failure.
Ignoring benefit of effective cheap, repurposed drugs like #fluvoxamine that slash death rate is a crime that is clearly driven by the push to sell expensive, new patented drugs that aren’t out yet. All pts shld be able to try repurposed drugs that can save them.
In March 2021, @60Minutes did a piece abt the life-saving benefits of #fluvoxamine. What happened to it after that, you ask? @IDSAInfo recommended against its widespread use outside of clinical trials!
There are diversions successfully causing lots of misplaced anger.
Ask yourself why N95s are not being required to stop spread when they’re cheap & extremely effective.
Why are rapid tests scarce & unaffordable at $14-24 a box?
Why is everything common said to be rare?
Why aren’t rapid tests required to fly like they are in other countries?
Why “vax or test,” rather than taking the pro-science stance of testing regardless of vax?
Why mandate vaccines without mandating N95s knowing that N95s block onward transmission & vaccines don’t?
Why are so few earnestly pressing our gov (& others) for answers to (their poss role in) COVID origins and demanding an end to cataclysmic, pointless Gain of Function research?
Why would we trust any of our fed officials when all they’ve done is lie to us?
I deeply relate to this. After almost dying of ❤️ failure from #Lyme & being told by 11 “top” docs that in spite of my tick bite, bullseye, & classic symptoms, I could not poss still have it after a short course of doxy. Well, I did. 1/
And after the 12th doc saved my life (thx @StevePhillipsMD), I wrote my story in @HuffPost. I didn’t think anyone would care. But they did. The editor called & asked me to keep writing about this scandal as so many ppl were reading my story. 2/ huffpost.com/entry/how-11-t…
So I kept writing and began hearing from people all over the world, including a nurse from Ghana, who used my story to guide them back to health. I even interviewed celebrities who had gone through it like Daryl Hall. 3/ m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_11…
For the record, we must abolish terms like "post-viral" or "post-infectious" that can misinform treatment. Semantics matter. Pathogenic persistence should be kept on the table unless it is thoroughly ruled out. There are many chronic, stealth infections that go unrecognized.
1/ I get that health care workers should be prioritized when it comes to wearing masks. And I get that there is a shortage, and that is very concerning and upsetting. I pray that changes in the coming days and weeks.
2/ However, the official messaging to the public that masks will not benefit them, and in fact, could harm them or that they are simply unnecessary, is extremely reckless and offensive in light of the CDC's own data (and common sense).
3/ I think it’s fair to caution the public not to hoard, & to let health care workers get them first. But I do NOT think the public should be lied to. This is a dire situation & we have a right to know the truth so we can make the best poss decisions for ourselves & families.
