How many times do I have to scream “they always were”? Hydroxychloroquine disinfo has incredible staying power, to the extent that I *continue* to hear abt HCQ supply issues from fellow rheumatic patients. #DisabledPeopleToldYou this was never in the past. #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy
It is painful to me how accounts with major followings (not necessarily OP, am speaking generally) repeatedly write-off or joke about hydroxychloroquine when the next shiny covid boondoggle makes headlines, & then become shocked when its ongoing usage inevitably resurfaces.
Meanwhile autoimmune people continue to bear the stigma that our essential daily medication has garnered on top of the physical consequences supply issues cause. #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy of sustained attention to this ongoing problem. #HighRiskCOVID19

Anyway, I’m not taking my eye off the pharmaceutical messiah that can’t leave the stage no matter how much we all want it to. If you want the through-line with a focus on who is hurt most— or better yet, you want to help HCQ get off this wild ride— follow along.

It’s difficult to imagine how this anti-science anti-vax rally could have come to be if hydroxychloroquine disinformation hadn’t kicked off some these #DisinformationDoctors careers — at the expense of chronically ill people. #DisabledPeopleToldYou #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy
Important thread anticipating the Jan 23 Super Not Anti-Vax Rally:

I need to be clear that the #DisinformationDoctors I am talking about use thing language. They wear white coats and say “medical apartheid” with a straight face to white people who have no clue how vile their subversion of the term is. Are you tired of this? Me too. Report them.
Anyone can report #DisinformationDoctors in any state, you don’t have to have been a patient. Complaint processes are complex but many states cannot discipline w/o a complaint first, so all the resources are together for you at #NoLicenseForDisinformation:
thing language ??
***this language
typos are now you know i’m a real person with arthritic hands and not a bot tho :)

Making comparisons between hydroxychloroquine & ivermectin is warranted in some situations, but overwhelmingly it seems to be done without nuance. This perpetuates the invisibile harm autoimmune people continue to bear as our essential medication— HCQ— is once again in shortage.
I don’t say all of this for some woe is me oppression olympics bs or whatever you care to project— I say it because the difference matters. The severity of the harm done to chronically ill and disabled people is more than worth mentioning, it should be centered. #HighRiskCovid19
Don’t just act as joker or stenographer of the horrors we’re all living through— make the realities clear. Who is harmed by disinformation and how? Was the harm ever addressed? No? Why? What precedent does this set? What doors does it leave open? Do better. #DisabledPeopleToldYou

🗣 #ADoctorADay 1/? — Who better to report for spreading dangerous information than Dr. Simone Gold? We need everyone to go to mbc.ca.gov/Consumers/file… to report her harmful disinformation— not to mention that little insurrection snafu— & share this! #NoLicenseForDisinformation 1/
Dr. Simone Gold, founder of America’s Frontline Doctors, is one of the most infamous new voices of the #COVID19 pandemic. With help from the Tea Party Patriots, Gold&crew became disinfo superspreaders overnight,& it has not stopped since. Report her. 2/#NoLicenseForDisinformation A black graphic with red and white font that reads: Report Dmedical board of california www.mbc.ca.gov contact William JMEDICAL BOARD OF CALIFORNIA  LICENSING DETAILS FOR: G 70224
Dr. Simone Gold’s dangerous conduct starts before the White Coat Summit, when she began prescribing hydroxychloroquine for covid, despite the lack of evidence. She brags abt clearing out a LA pharmacy of its HCQ, while rheumatic patients struggled to find our essential meds. 3/
