My short term disability ends this month & my only option for income is to apply for long-term disability — & I was just advised by a social worker: “There’s no way they will accept you, you’re too young”

What are #LongCovid patients supposed to do w/ ZERO income?

I hate this.

when we talk about whether or not we should mandate masks in public, what we are really talking about is whether disabled people deserve to participate in public life.

whether disabled people deserve to go to the grocery store, school, the post office, the library, etc.

It's almost Back to School time & we're still seeing about 100k cases a day here in the US.

How do we stop COVID from going back to school too?

Our new pre-print confirms face masks must be part of our plan!

Let me explain /🧵

@CDCgov has failed our kids!

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

📍Pediatric #COVID19 hospital admissions/day shows no signs of slowing down just as schools are starting to re-open amid no masks, and extremely low booster rate for school kids. Potential #BA5 disaster but no one seems to care. #CovidIsNotOver #MaskUp

2) of the 3 #monkeypox infected children in Brazil - one had contact with an infected relative. The other two cases are still being investigated. Kids under 8 and immunocompromised are at highest risk of severe disease. This is why we need to stop this!

3) In the old pre pandemic days, @CDCgov used to openly declare #monkeypox is respiratory in transmission. These days the @CDCDirector downplays it all day everyday. It’s so sad and embarrassing for the agency that I used to love and respect.

Children are vulnerable to monkeypox exposure, and we know how hard it is for them to avoid close contacts with their relatives and other children. This is why extreme measures must be taken to avoid it's spread in the first place. There is no room for complacency. 🦠🧬😷💉⛔️‼️

Just watch the difference between what 9mm handgun vs AR-15, imagine a 9 yr olds body after just one round.

These weapons are built far war, meant to do the most damage possible to a human being and now they are being used in the war on America.

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

Want to be a real leader @CDCDirector? how about restoring the mask guidelines for #monkeypox travel advisory that your @CDCgov axed? https://t.co/COPNnnr4V0

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

👀NOTHING TO SEE HERE:

📌Yesterday: 35 cases of #Monkeypox.

📌Today: +10 more, now 45 total cases.

(warning: distressing)

‘Many children were left not only dead, but hollow’ — Matthew McConaughey discussed meeting a cosmetologist who was tasked with restoring the bodies of Uvalde shooting victims due to the ‘large exit wounds of an AR-15’

[Dr. Lisa Iannattone @lisa_iannattone]

Whenever I see someone ask if we’re expected to continue masking in healthcare settings forever, I immediately think of Semmelweis. The man who discovered that HCWs’ dirty hands were causing fever and death in patients.

So it turns out we did find “something in the blood” of #ME/CFS patients: fibrinaloid microclots + hyperactivated platelets (that you can see with your own eyes). Thank you so much to @polybioRF donors who helped support part of the study: https://t.co/1Zty6lCsL3

Compromise on assault weapons. If we can’t just ban them, let’s change the age you can buy them from 18 to 57.

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

9) that shit is airborne yo. Smallpox is a very close cousin of monkeypox. Wear a mask to be extra safe. The @CDCDirector is goddamn wrong. https://t.co/hSeLfvUMh1
