Here are pics of my visit to one of #Rwanda ’s incredible tea plantations where we got a lesson on how to pick tea, how to grow tea & then how the different teas (black, white, green) & the different flavors & boldness are derived from the one plant! 🌱 #nyungwe #VisitRwanda

Spent 2 weeks in #Rwanda drinking freshly juiced herbal teas (seriously) & amazing black teas from the source, daily! Now, I’ve come home & finding myself tossing most of my prepackaged teas. My tea snobbery has climbed to a whole new level! If it’s not FRESH, I don’t want it!

If your child has a fever who do you call? The local politician? How about if your child breaks a limb? The politician? No? So why are you suddenly believing the politician’s agenda over your Doctor’s when it comes to the health & safety of your child where COVID is concerned?

This should go without saying but if you have or recently had sore throat, cough, fevers, runny nose and/or diarrhea, part of your home hygiene plan should be to wash all linen (ie bed sheets, duvets/spreads & pillowcases), curtains & wiping your blinds. Also, air out the place!

For those who are unaware, this is the official stance on ivermectin, from the company that makes it … that’s right! Merck officially stated that there is no evidence it’s drug (ivermectin) works against COVID. #ivermectin #COVID19 @yodittewolde @katiecouric @ShoshUMD

Stop using the term “Breakthrough Infection” when referencing COVID vaccinated folks who become infected. It’s an infection. Plain & Simple! “Breakthrough” isn’t a thing There’s a reason why none of the trials used preventing infection as a primary or secondary endpoint. (1/3)

All immunity is “Natural” … Your body’s response to something foreign, whether it’s a virus or vaccine, is your NATURAL immune response. The Difference in the magnitude & specificity (effectiveness) of the response really lies in your body’s state of health at the time.

While there is much talk about neutralizing antibodies, it’s important to understand that the bulk of your immunity from vaccine against a virus is reliant on your cellular (T cell) response & immunity. That gets primed after vaccine & later it’s what activates after infection.

To all the policy makers: Masks & Vaccines go TOGETHER! It’s not an either or situation. STOP dangling mask removal as the carrot for getting vaccinated. Realistically, we need to continue masking for a lot longer, even if vaccine rates were >80% in most communities. #pandemic

When exposed to sars cov2 w/o prior immunity, it takes your immune response at least 10+ days to get specific about fighting the virus. In the meantime, the virus is making lots of itself including new variants that you also spread to those around you & overwhelming your organs

FYI, reports of omicron infection being mild is mostly true for the vaccinated/boosted. If you’re unvaxxed, this “mild” news ain’t about YOU! You’re still at significantly increased risk of hospitalization &/or death … Especially important for the pregnant & unvaxxed to know.

These vaccines are not designed to primarily neutralize the virus or prevent infection. Vaccines against viruses aren’t really ever designed w/ that intent. Yet, most everyone is trying to distill the science down to “neutralization” & hence why so many ppl are confused …flawed!

Good article from @VICE highlighting the issue of #misinformation on @Clubhouse ! Misinformation kills! Many of these bad actors are repeat offenders who are NOT acting in good faith … an misguided argument that CH employees have made! @operationdanish

Every time I watch my patients struggle to understand the insurance benefits of a plan that they “chose”. I can’t help but think that health insurance basics should be part of necessary life skills imparted during senior year of high school. Why isn’t this part of HS curriculum?

For those who have been frustrated with the apparent inaction of these big tech companies, where disinformation is concerned, this is insightful … @digitalsista @drleslieannMD @MelissaSKennedy @draditinerurkar @AllergyHealth

@jeremyfaust Agreed! Like you I will stand up on his behalf everyday!! It’s upsetting to watch this narrative that is being crafted in attempts to peg this situation on him.

To those who are unclear: It’s perfectly reasonable to continue taking your elderberry, vitamin C & vitamin D + GET VACCINATED! Nutrients support & provide key building blocks for overall health while vaccines offer you the specificity needed to take down the foreign threat!

Whether infection or vaccine, the immunity generated goes BEYOND neutralizing antibody or B cells. Yet, I suspect ppl talk about these because it’s simpler to explain than the multitude of short peptides that give the true clonal repertoire of T cells that clear the infection.

@ReecieColbert @newdaynewlife11 I was born & raised in the southern Caribbean. So, I can show a person how to hand wash a duvet by hand, use stones or corn husk for laundry. Then educated (college) in NYC while living in crown heights, I used laundromats. I’ve lived every imaginable laundry situation.

The way you see yourself makes all the difference. It's not just about letting people think you're good -- that you're successful or that you're happy. It's about what YOU think about yourself. ⁠

To everyone out there, especially educators: When you choose to not wear a mask and/or not get vaccinated, you are effectively turning yourself into a biological weapon against those in your charge! #thinkaboutit #COVID19 #antimask #antivax #responsibility #ProtectOurChildren
