As promised for #LongCOVID peeps. I have had #COVID 3x and I still struggle with #LongCOVID because it flares with every infection. I likely keep getting it because of the immunocompromise with #LongCOVID. 🧵on the who, what and how based on the nature paper mentioned on @abc730
I am grateful for all the follows and would like to share a thread summarising the nature paper discussed on the @abc730. Even without #longcovid #COVID can affect your whole body. For my #LongCOVID peeps another thread when I can.

I used to be vaccine hesitant. Had my kids on a modified schedule and felt I was VERY educated. Here are posts I made in 2010 about visiting public health with Charlie, 2 months at the time.
By this point though, some critical thinking had started to sink in. Let me explain.

Baby boomers did a pretty good job teaching their millennial daughters that they could be anything they wanted to be and a pretty terrible job of preparing their sons for what that would mean for them as husbands and fathers

My only regret is that I didn’t risk my social clout more to advocate harder for the suffering of others
If you aren’t losing followers
You aren’t doing advocacy strongly enough
One more time
This land always was
Always will be
Aboriginal land
Sovereignty was never ceded

A CHALLENGE to ALL the Twitter nutrition gurus out there. This is a synopsis of the best cohort data I could find for different nutritional items. Would love for you to comment or correct (send me the evidence). For more info check out my new book here. nutritionproposition.com

It seems weirdly absent from news coverage, but climate change is happening — and happening much faster than scientists even predicted. This is the biggest health threat facing our communities. We need bolder, more urgent action from leaders. Delays risk everything.

The word “homeopathic” really just means it’s a magic potion that’s allowed to masquerade as medicine to mislead consumers.
Save your money.
Sick with a cold? Stay home. Rest. Hydrate. Mask. Wash your hands.
There really is no magic to it. Only time.

I would like to acknowledge my own deep unconscious implicit bias towards gender inequality. Such a thought provoking discussion today @ #coda22. It is MY job to start this dialog to address my own moral compass by beginning dialog with my female colleagues. Because it matters!
Penny Wilson retweeted
#coda22 is the only conference that has
Zero souvenir or goodie bags
Zero name tag
Zero GP bashing
Most importantly - Zero net carbon
Lots of innovation
Lots of connection
Lots of sharing
Most importantly - Lots of collaboration
Bravo CODA!

.#coda22 Thank you for inviting the “other” specialty Family Medicine/General Practice into the collegiate space. It helps to talk about the patients biography of illness and the parts we all play in multidisciplinary care centred on good outcomes designed by patients.
Penny Wilson retweeted
Patients present to primary care with a biography rather than an illness.
Fantastic point from Karen Price!
Context is everything! #Coda22
