After the UK and Taiwan and some Canadian provinces have made Covid vaccination much more difficult to get, here’s where I think they’re headed: “If you are 100 years old or have an extremely serious immune-compromising condition and we haven’t managed to kill you with Covid yet, congratulations! You have run the gauntlet and are now eligible for a once-a-decade Covid vaccination! You’re welcome!” /1 #CovidIsNotOver #eugenics #DoNoHarm

It’s bad enough we have healthcare workers refusing to mask, now one openly admits to practicing medicine while he has measles!
Does the HHS Secretary condemn this behaviour? No. He praises the doctor as an “extraordinary healer”.
Measles is airborne & wildly contagious. This doctor should lose his license. He almost certainly infected multiple patients.

#WombTransplant: the mother of my children demands to know why the lives of two women were put at risk with three major operations, when exactly the same result could have been achieved with a surrogate pregnancy (using that uterus in its natural place). https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/apr/07/grace-davidson-first-uk-womb-transplant-birth I would also argue that the baby didn't benefit from being carried by a mum on #immunosuppressants, so 3 humans were harmed in this #experiment. #science #medicine #ExperimentsOnHumans #MedicalEthics #DoNoHarm

“Take off your mask so I can see your pretty face”
“You won’t catch covid HERE! You can take off your mask”
“You seem anxious about Covid”
“Why are you masking? Are you sick?”
Lack of mask mandates in healthcare means patients are judged, mistreated & harmed when trying to access care.
Hospital acquired COVID has a 10% mortality rate. Patients are going in for necessary care and losing their lives or ending up disabled.
Healthcare workers are burned out, sick and exhausted.
The current situation is not sustainable.
We know how to reduce (if not eliminate) COVID and other hospital acquired infections.
So why aren’t we doing it?
My latest articles looks at masking in healthcare from the patient perspective. The challenges, the struggles, the avoidable infections and the trauma that comes from having healthcare workers abdicate their responsibility to “do no harm”

There are measles outbreaks in the U.S. and Canada. A disease we eradicated is making a comeback due to dangerous anti-vaxx rhetoric.
We need mandatory masking in healthcare, and we need it now.
A respirator protects against Covid, measles & more.
There’s no excuse to expose patients when we have the tools to prevent it:

Qualified #SteamNextFest recommendation for #DoNoHarm. It's like #PapersPlease, but you're a doctor in a Lovecraftian setting. Maybe rapidly flipping through a medical book to figure which humor to inject in your patient isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, but I found myself stressfully engrossed throughout the whole demo.

As an individual, I feel you have the right to be infected with any disease you choose
But, as a doctor, nurse, or #HealthCare administrator, you have the legal and moral obligation to protect us patients from infectious disease

#RFKjr rise to prominence in #DJT admin pleases almost no one, except #Drumpf" who posted on #TruthSocial he was giving the #BrainWorm host a chance to "go wild on health".
The environmental lawyer with no formal training in #medicine or #PublicHealth has vowed to immediately fire and replace 600 #NationalInstitutesofHealth doctors and #medical officials by crowd sourcing their replacements who would oversee 80,000 employees across 13 operating scientific, medicine and research related divisions that use up about 25% of the #FederalBudget.
The #RWNJ media is as aghast as more liberal press. The #Murdoch owned #NYPost editorialized "The overriding rule of medicine is: First, #DoNoHarm. We're certain installing" Kennedy fam scion @ #HHS "breaks this rule" while Dr Sanjay Gupta at #CNN opined RFK Jr's bloviating statements are "mixed in with stuff that is not just 'alternative' facts, they are downright false."
A former #CDC director, Dr Robert Besser went on record stating that the Kennedy clan's own conspiracy theorist “would pose incredible risks to the #health of the nation,” and that “Robert F. Kennedy is part of the problem and cannot be part of the solution.”
The Center For Science In The Public Interest leadership compared the nominee to being a "Flat Earther" and "a direct threat to #science and evidence-based solutions."
The head of the left leaning non profit #PublicCitizen website blasted that "He shouldn’t be allowed in the building at the department of #health and human services (#HHS), let alone be placed in charge of the nation’s public health agency."

CW: Medical trauma, surgery, gaslighting
When I was 16 I developed a foot infection that necessitated surgery.
It was done under local anesthesia - only the anesthetic didn’t work.
I screamed and begged them to stop - but I was held down and called “hysterical”. Told to “calm down” and that it was “all in my head.”
I was restrained, belittled and repeatedly told to quiet down. I was given a sedative that did absolutely nothing.
I remember leaving the hospital in tears - clutching the small handful of pain meds they had deigned to give me.
I began questioning myself. Maybe it didn’t hurt that much? Maybe I was just squeamish and overreacting?
After all - THEY were the experts and they all told me that there was absolutely “no way” I could feel the scalpel cutting me.
The foot became infected - and I had to go back for THREE revision surgeries. I was so young that I didn’t know HOW to advocate for myself. I didn’t understand I could request a different doctor. I hadn’t yet learned to trust my gut.
Every surgery was the same - with local anesthetic not working the way it should. Not ONCE did anyone stop to consider that maybe I was telling the truth. Or to ask WHY an otherwise healthy 16 year old was having so many complications.
It was a huge missed opportunity - diagnostically speaking. The lack of reaction to local anesthetic is a common feature of EDS - as is poor wound healing. The blood pooling and neuropathy were early signs of POTS. Both were missed because all they saw was a young female and assumed I was “hysterical.”
That infection ended up ruining an entire summer for me. I needed IV antibiotics and home nursing to come and pack and re-pack it. I was in a wheelchair for a month and crutches for almost 6 months after that.
Unfortunately - the experience took more than a summer away from me. It took my innocence. From what point onward I no longer believed that the hospital was a place to go to “better”. I didn’t trust healthcare workers the way I did before. I was guarded, traumatized and angry.
Decades later I would learn that the surgeon who operated lost her medical license after being caught not washing hands or sterilizing instruments before procedures.
She was PURPOSEFULLY negligent with multiple patients - but it took years for anything to be done about it.
How many others were hurt like me? Did she treat other minors? Disabled patients? Could I have done anything to stop her?
These questions haunt me to this day - because I suffered so much and it was completely preventable.
This isn’t a unique story. Patients are taught that doctors know best. The culture of medicine encourages silence. We are dissuaded from speaking up or questioning authority.
medical school tends to reward those who “fall in line”… you don’t get ahead by rocking the boat.
If you’re disabled or have complex chronic illness - odds are you’ve got at LEAST one horror story of your own. Probably far more than one.
We have to interact with the system more than our non disabled peers - and we’re often treated worse by default.
This experience was only the first of many. It wasn’t even the most damaging thing that I’ve been through.
It’s events like this that made be become an advocate. I’m so disgusted by how I’ve been treated that I refuse to be silent anymore.
Because it isn’t just about ME. This is a problem the world over - and disabled people are the canaries in the coal mine. We often get the worst of the medical mistreatment - but no one is immune.
We need to change the system to a more understanding and collaborative one.
Patients deserve to be partners in their care. They should be treated like the experts they are. We may not have a medical degree but no one knows our body better.
Listen to us. Believe us. Don’t intentionally cause harm. Wear a mask - show us you care about keeping us safe.
For more on the lessons I’ve learned over years of interacting with the healthcare system - I’ve written a five part guide designed to make the hospital experience easier on disabled and chronically ill people (and those who love them).
All the articles are in this round up I just posted today:
