I haven't done a #FollowBackFriday for some time, I tend to just recommend people to follow - but if you want to follow me that's fine too! Here is a select few of my recommendations, there are of course many more!

@OxfordDiplomat - one the very best people I follow
@davidjboughton - a new found friend and a downright lovely fellow
@Rachelle_Hulme - I mention her often, she's the person I interact most with on twitter these days - funny & smart
@Sharronhoney2 - I affectionately call her my pink pocket rocket, love this woman so much!
@TeeDixie such a lovely person, keeps a sense of humour about her even when things are shite🥰
@KatrinaSheikh - the #QueenofChic, one of the most stylish docs on twitter, also a beautiful person
@dgurdasani1 - whom I am in awe of, gifted, committed and just a fabulous scientist.
She's been quiet on twitter for a while, I've left her to last. She's a real soul mate to me, a brilliant artist and a fabulous doctor. @AliRacaniere is the dearest of friends. 💘

🧵@theresecoffey please comment and retract. If this report and quotes are correct you are proposing and endorsing dangerous practices. Image
There is a reason that we have prescription only medicines (POM) prescribed by a medical professional and dispensed by a pharmacist. If you give other people POMs you won't know their med history or any concomitant meds, or potential contraindications. This is dangerous.
The wider use of antibiotics is unwise, we continue to battle with emerging resistance to common antibiotics. Whilst most pharmacists are well in tune and pharmacist prescribing is appropriate for some meds, we need strict controls on antibiotics.

🧵A personal thread on #Covid.
Little did I know when I rejoined twitter that it would be my science training that was most read and that my opinions would be sought and valued - it's a humbling experience when so many trust you.
I've tried my damndest to provide factual information, using my training to interpret publications and data, and try and put that in easy to understand terms - not always easy when you're used to using scientific jargon and abbrevs!
That I somehow amassed a large following, almost overnight when something I wrote went viral, feels a bit strange! Very few of my colleagues in science and medicine were coronavirus experts, but we've used our training in microbiology, virology, biochemistry, epidemiology..

🧵On my tweet about the new booster vaccines, as always happens someone came onto the thread spouting nonsense. So just to clarify, 'negative efficacy', means that the drug does more harm than the disease.
In this case the claim is that you are more likely to contact the virus if vaccinated.

Where did this notion come from? Well it's been circulating on social media since last year following some people selecting data from a UKHSA report out of context, they then quote this..
..without the other many pages of the report, which of course show that being vaccinated significantly reduces the chance of hospitalisation and transmission of the virus. The UKHSA produces a weekly surveillance report - geek that I am, I read every single one!!

🧵There has been an explosion of COVID misinformation on social media lately. I am not going to deal with too many specifics here, I will add more later, but keep an eye on @SwaledaleMutton @DrSusanOliver1 @Debunk_the_Funk as we are do our bit to combat some of the nonsense
UK Booster vaccine. It does work, it is proven, there are very good data. Predominantly it is the Moderna bivalent vaccine which targets omicron as well as the original variant. If you are called for the booster, there is no reason to worry about its safety.
Flu season is just around the corner, if you are not eligible please make sure you get it, it will protect you very well against the current strains of influenza by up to 60% (data from Australia season)

🧵Twitter is full of Tory MPs denying that they voted to pollute our waterways. Let's look at that shall we? Yes, it is true, there was not a vote that said 'I agree to pump raw sewage into our rivers and seas'. But as we all know politics is more subtle than that
They key is amendment 45 to the original bill, which was proposed by Lord Wellington in the HoL. The Government did not accept Lord Wellington's amendment in its entirety and watered it down significantly. The wording he proposed was....
worded so that it placed a 'duty' on the water companies to take “reasonable steps to ensure untreated sewage is not discharged” from storm pipes. However the Tories stripped out this wording, specifically the 'duty' and watered it down so....

🧵There's been a recent paper about depression not being caused by low serotonin levels. Now this is not my field, but some people are rushing to the conclusion that antidepressants aimed at addressing a perceived chemical imbalance don't work. There is in fact a lot of evidence
That shows these drugs DO work. You'll know if you follow me regularly that I'm an advocate for talking about MH, I suffer from depression myself, and we must keep talking. Drugs are not always the answer for everyone, I managed with CBT for a decade but after a series of life
Events I plunged into a deep depression, the most amazing GP and controlled use of antidepressants may well have saved my life. There will be the science bashers out there that will talk of drug peddlars and snake oil salesmen, that's really very unhelpful as depression can be
