Initiative led by students @HarvardChanSPH to engage students everywhere to tackle COVID-19 by supporting communities and spreading factual information.
Why is Harvard's decision poor?
Bc more than ever we should be aware of stopping transmission chains

You have likely heard that multiple #vaccines to prevent #COVID-19 are being developed (and some approved for distribution) -- for instance, the @pfizer BioNTech vaccine, the @moderna_tx vaccine, the Johansson & Johnson vaccine, the @AstraZeneca vaccine.
As #vaccine distribution continues, each state has implemented roll-out differently. @CDCgov created guidelines based on reducing morbidity and mortality, maintaining societal functioning, and promoting equity and justice. However, distributions have failed to meet these goals...
⚠️Ingestion of substances that have no evidence for prevention or treatment for #COVID19 can be pointless at best and #hazardous at worst! There are many documented possible complications of ingesting chlorine dioxide and many people around the world have been hospitalized ➡️
Some #health insurance companies have gone as far as to say they will not cover costs associated to COVID-19 treatment in patients who have consumed chlorine dioxide. The @WHO, @pahowho, @CDCgov and various ministries of health have warned against its use.
As our planet warms up due to human activities, the global #environment is
impacted. One of these impact areas is in infectious diseases and particularly in the emergence of zoonotic diseases. Swipe to learn more and check out the sources in each slide for further information 🌍
