Some more reflections on Mpox and this tweet 🧵

One of the key lessons from the SARS-1 outbreak in Canada was the failure to follow the precautionary principle. 1/15 History repeated itself with covid, when its main mode of transmission - airborne - was robustly denied. This disinformation has had ripple effects lasting to this day, five years into an ongoing pandemic that’s so far killed 27 million and disabled 400 million people, … 2/15

Personality change following covid - a personal thread 🧵

I had a close friend who wasn’t covid cautious (wholly unaware of the risks before he got to know me) but deeply knew and respected that my risk assessment was solely founded on my scientific understanding… 1/8 … - not driven by emotions. A large aspect of our bond was our shared pragmatic, logical yet reflective approach to life.

We’d also spoken in depth about public health mitigations, how it’s invariably made of a number of layers with the appropriate mitigations to vary… 2/8

Making others uncomfortable by taking airborne precautions…a short 🧵

I recently got disinvited to a close relative’s 60th birthday celebrations - mostly lunches and dinner events.
1/6 I’d explained that I wouldn’t eat due to the covid risk (but happy to drink with a SIP valve) but would love to see everyone and celebrate the birthday.

“Isn’t it best if you don’t come, it won’t be much fun for you, will it”.

Statement, not a question.

Don’t look up.

Over 144 million people long-term sick. Increases in stillbirths, preterm birth, and postpartum haemorrhage. Young people in numbers not seen before presenting to cardiologists.

The experts are screaming at the top of their lungs. Arrhythmias. Myocarditis. Pericarditis. Sudden deaths in fit and healthy adults. Blood clots in lungs and brains. Bowel ischaemia. Damaged kidneys.

The experts are screaming at the top of their lungs.

🧵 My 2-year #LongCovid anniversary present? A reinfection. 2yrs of gaslighting; dismissal; organ damage & subsequent chronic chest pain; the rare but amazing doctor who practices real medicine - listens, investigates & treats; my deep refusal to give up; and a very gradual and non-linear process of patching my life back together again.

1/9 Thread on the narrative around #longcovid

Commonly, the narrative around long covid is that we need to ‘understand how long the condition lasts’. I find that concerning. 2/9 It implies that #longcovid is a condition that will self-resolve with time, i.e. medical intervention is not needed. But we do not know this, which makes it a dangerous assumption.
