The world's most powerful X-ray device looks at the lung of a 54-year-old man who died of #COVID19 revealing massive damage (yellow) to the entire blood-delivery system, leaving it incapable of passing oxygen. Show this to #SARSCoV2 deniers.

In case you are wondering why we have no great stats on hospitalizations & deaths stratified by vaccination status, it seems @HealthZA is blocking this data. In a pandemic, where we need people to see why they should be vaccinated. Imagine. https://t.co/RdZxS4ozD0
What's in a Vaccine? The 'ingredients' are widely available in the package inserts (you can get them online) & regulator documents (also online). Although the 'chemical' names might sound scary, they are well tested for safety in humans at the doses contained in vaccines. 🧵
Concerning uptick in #SARSCoV2 levels in wastewater at some surveillance sites Gauteng @nicd_sa Potential herald of⬆️in #COVID19 cases. Anyone not vaccinated in 🇿🇦 should get vaccinated ASAP. Imperative that healthcare workers get their 2nd #Sisonke JnJ vaccine now @PresidencyZA

I spent two hours with my aunts friend who said she was just a little unsure about the vaccine because of all she has heard. Literally she was lied to. After some simple explanations she said she could now make a decision without doing it out of fear. It’s the last part for me.
Evolution of the C.1 lineage in South Africa with multiple Spike mutations - pre-print at: https://t.co/kJ906bKfe6 - In this tweet thread, I highlight this lineage (assigned as C.1.2), the potential impact of the mutations, and the likelihood that this become a variant of concern
South Africa officially administered 4x the number of COVID vaccine doses than the total number of infections in SA! (Today 24 Aug 2021)
★Cumulative number of vaccinations administered: 11,076,106

Do studies prove that asymptomatic COVID patients can’t spread the disease? And has a CDC analysis found that masks don’t reduce transmission?
This claim is false!

People are vulnerable to misinformation especially during uncertain times. During the #COVID19 pandemic, we should be careful when sharing information.
One should rather err on the side of caution, and fact check before believing or sharing information.
#KnowTheFactsGetTheVax
90 vaxxed and 10 unvaxxed in a population of a 100.
4 in the vaccinated group tests + which is 4.44% of the vaccinated.
6 in the unvaccinated group tests positive which is 60% of the unvaccinated.
The denominators are vital! https://t.co/KmbUDoOoOs
@TheKiffness Yes I know some of those. One lady lost her mom, she is still fiercely antivax. Another lost her dad, also still antivax. These people will never learn.
