COVID Vaccine #2 DONE!!!

I. Am. So. Relieved.

I had to wait on line to get mine despite an appointment which was AWESOME because so many people were getting it. 🙌🏻

I’m seeing the light at the end of this very long tunnel.
1/? About 4 hours out and my arm is a bit sore, but not bad.

I’m expecting to have some more symptoms tonight and tomorrow and it’s important that you expect them too when you get your vaccine.

1/? Did you all know that the FDA recently approved a treatment that reduces the chance of community spread of COVID-19 by 5X?

Its trade name is called Wearamaskasshole. 2/? Side effects include mild inconvenience, possible victim complex, fear of people thinking you R a sheeple, being ostracized by your anti-vax plandemic bros, and the power 2 stop your own asymptomatic transmission as this country stubbornly dives right on into that second wave

What would you do if you found out your child was viewing pornography?

You’re probably thinking “my kid doesn’t have access to that” or “my kid wouldn’t look at that”.

If that’s what you’re thinking then there is a good chance that you’d be wrong.

Thread. 1/? The average age of a child the first time they see pornography on the internet is 11 years old. Yes, that’s the average, which means there are still lots of kids younger than 11 that are viewing hard core pornography online.

I’ve needed to take some time prior to posting this as I’ve had to reflect and listen and learn.

The events of the past several weeks breaks my heart, and the sadness I feel when I hear the cries of my African American family and friends bruise my soul. 1/? I am white. My husband and child are white. We have a clear and noticeable privilege in all aspects of society simply because of the color of our skin.

My step-father, the only man who cared to be a father figure to me, is African American. I have 3 mixed race brothers. 2/?

Please DO NOT leave your children in the car when running errands.

I’ve been getting messages from concerned parents telling me that they’re seeing people leaving their kids in the car when they run into a store to avoid the hassle of face masks & kids touching things. 1/? I get it. This pandemic, and all that comes along with it, has us doing things we normally wouldn’t do, but leaving your kids in the car should not be one of them.

Leaving your kids in a car, even for a few minutes, can be deadly.

It can happen in minutes. 2/?

1/? Please read my story about losing a beautiful little patient of mine. This is not a COVID-19 patient but I share it with you all so that you can see and feel the anguish we physicians, nurses, and others on our healthcare team feel when we fight for a life and lose. 2/? Now multiply that by thousands.

This is what those of us in medicine are dealing with right now.

This is why we are begging you all to take this seriously.

The number of dangerous conspiracy theories and the amount of disinformation being shared right now is mind boggling. It’s mentally exhausting and so disheartening. 1/? I wish I didn’t feel like physicians, other medical professionals, and scientists are obligated to speak out about all this nonsense and educate the public, but I do. It’s an important part of our job, unfortunately. 2/?

1/? Just today a young woman posted a guy-wrenching account of her battle with meningococcemia. She advocated for the vaccine that quite literally saves lives every day. The antivaxxine cultists swarmed and spewed their hate and lies and bullied her until she deleted the post. 2/? What they do it disgusting and unacceptable. This survivor was posting her own story about her experience and was hoping to educate others so that they would not suffer as she did, and she did no ON HER OWN PAGE.

ATTENTION all pro-science, pro-vax friends. We need to have a follow-back thread to assure we are all connected in order to support eachother and fight against misinformation. So post who u r and then follow/follow back! @DrToddWo @NicoleB_MD @ZDoggMD And don’t forget about the #DoctorsSpeakUp on March 5th!
