As an ID physician, frontline worker, & public health professional, I think I’ve generally held my sh*t together pretty well over the past two years (not lashing out, being civil) but this garbage @TheAtlantic article undid me (let me explain)-please read

theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
The author has completely invalidated my and my colleagues work for the past two years. We have tirelessly treated pts who did not listen. We comforted them when they were scared. We walked into tents to help vulnerable people WITHOUT PPE.
We have given up our lives. We have spent countless hours apart from our families and friends. We have fallen ill and, in some cases, died for our fellow humans.
And what @TheAtlantic and this author did was not say “thank you for your service” they said “f*ck you”. They said “you’ve wasted your time you academic elitist prick”
He spit in my face and might as well have called me a “baby killer” as they did my father when he returned from war. And I’d be ok with all of that…except…
More than invalidating me, he invalidated the >800,000 lives lost.
Shame on you, sir. And shame on @JeffreyGoldberg and the Atlantic for printing this garbage.
