Hi Members: I want to alert you to a new and potentially powerful resource from @ACPinternists - a member forum to help you in your practice address the real world issues you are facing on the front lines of the #COVID19 pandemic

So why should Z-pak be the choice for you and me?

Vaccines- dangerous, masks-optional
But Z-pak is sensational
C. diff., drug rash, no worry
Patients want their Z-Pak in a hurry

I, however, will hold the line
Z-Pak for covid will not be a treatment of mine.

Wish me luck.

[ACP Virginia @ACPVirginia]

To all patients getting a Z-Pak for Covid-

Why do patients feel the lack
Of a treatment such as Z-Pak?
The allure is on track
To have us on the attack
Against a virus with Z-Pak

Am I just a hack
For not seeing the wonders of Z-Pak?
Covid is a virus you see,

Curious thing about @GlennYoungkin He sends his kids to Georgetown Prep (yes, in Maryland) which has a mask AND vaccine mandate. He chooses to send his kids somewhere with safe policies and then tries to upend ours for political grandstanding. https://t.co/pQ0P2P6EfJ #Hypocrite

Confused about boosters?

Here's what CDC advisory committee should have done

3rd shot (6 months after 2nd) for following:

1. People >60 (that's the best data)
2. People 18-59 with chronic conditions
3. People with high exposure risk (HC workers, teachers, etc)

That's the list

[Shari Erickson (she/her/hers) @SEricksonACP]

Everyone - please take heed! Stop calling physicians "providers"!

@lsnitkoff And I emphatically bray against taking this med. And taking it away from horses who need it!

@RyanMire1 From a fellow bow-tie enthusiast, yay! Post-pandemic, I have gone tie-less, but who knows?

Not a new phenomenon, far from it. "A passive reaction could be construed as endangering the health of society, whereas a heavy handed approach can threaten the values of individual liberty and freedom of expression that we cherish." https://t.co/ojxvlV9gFO
