@Travistritt Can you imagine caring so much about so little?

[Angela Troxell, BSRT, RRT @angpeep]

@StefanieDeeg I much prefer people acting like I live on another planet when I am only oh 1.5 hours away and I basically come back for 8 days at a time. But they choose to ignore me or only ask to see me when I'm working. Yeah it's awesome.

I just wrote to Congress to ask them to support legislation to Support Respiratory Therapists. You can help us get the message out as well by clicking here: https://t.co/HbwO2AZZz2. Join @aarc_tweets in our Annual Virtual Lobby Campaign

@ACR_Journals My RA flared in relation to the vaccine itself and is still flaring 6 months later. To me anyone vaccinated and in this study throws off the data.

Booster mandates make me feel safe

Knowing I am surrounded by people who got boosted months ago who are modestly less likely to have symptomatic sars-cov-2 than someone unvaccinated without nat immunity (given Omicrons vax effectiveness) reassures me

Until I actually think

Is your biggest fear showing up in the trauma bay as a patient and having your clothes cut off in front of people you've worked with or are you normal? 🚑

@GkuhnRRT Nice cast!

My only question is:
Who woke up on Sunday in DC and said, you know what, that failed Pfizer Vax trial in 6mo-4yo is probably good enough, can we ask Pfizer to submit it, and tell people to push the narrative on twitter/ newspapers?

@GovEvers Is this satire?

[Vinay Prasad MD MPH @VPrasadMDMPH]

Wearing a mask from the door to the table, but at no point during the meal, in a crowded restaurant

Making kids wear masks outside at recess

Two examples of real policies that are metaphors for how the US handled COVID-19

Just because I march for women’s right to choose doesn’t mean I’ve had an abortion nor does it mean I’m Pro-Abortion. Why is this so tough for people who call anti-mandate protests “anti-vax” to understand?

[Angela Troxell, BSRT, RRT @angpeep]

@DrSimonAshworth @VPrasadMDMPH I couldn't work after vaccination. Lost my job, health insurance, savings. Is my life an indifference I wonder daily? But I know the answer from how I am treated most of the time.

[NP Amms @thatgirl409]

A patient pulled their mask down and coughed on me today when I told them they should be tested for Covid. Most of my family thinks this isn't real. The government has just given up. I have $96k invested in a career that's given me severe depression. I just give up. I'm done.

Vaccine effectiveness goes down the drain

@ET_okiguess @VPrasadMDMPH Have you seen the articles about omicron mutation coming from mice? Quite interesting.

[Vinay Prasad MD MPH @VPrasadMDMPH]

FDA is not even trying anymore;
The decision is based on PFIZER data not MODERNA data, which they acknowledge in today's letter

There is literally have NO EVIDENCE for boosting MODERNA at month 5 👇👇

Gruber & Krause resign & FDA is unhinged

[Angela Troxell, BSRT, RRT @angpeep]

@SenRonJohnson I am a frontline HCW injured by the vaccine. I lost my job, health insurance, savings, and still have symptoms today. I was out of work for 10 weeks. I have offered my records to Vsafe and the CDC to improve safety. They haven't taken me up on my offer yet.

In America, January 1st is also known as 🤬deductible reset day.

Good luck to everyone that has to re-engage in battle, financial struggle, and countless hours navigating an insurance system created to confuse and reduce access.
