Week in Review:
You can find the transcript to our discussion with CovidTweets here. Tune in tomorrow at noon pacific for our next show.
Our colleague Sarah Beth hit it out of the park with her continuing exposé of the talented Dr. Hoshino. We interviewed Sarah on the podcast a bit ago and she updated her findings on her Substack. The New York Post picked up the story as well!
Big study out of Europe on mask compliance correlated to outcomes. Spoiler: there were none. "These findings indicate that countries with high levels of mask compliance did not perform better than those with low mask usage."

Tragic story of a kid bullied over NOT getting vaccinated. He committed suicide:
Quick flashback. Remember when hospitals were so overwhelmed that they had time to recreate classic works of art with their PPE in the break room? (This was from 2 years ago).
Remember all of the Covid unity "we're all in this together" ads from 2 years ago?
I posted this 2 years ago. It still applies:
Somehow I missed the Last Supper reenactment.
That’s top 5. Below Colbert dancing shot routine, but still top 5.

I was never so ashamed of my profession as I was during the lockdowns. I argued we had no right to tell people to stay home or to criticize those that did not. It's easy to admonish people when you're still getting a paycheck. What a bunch of sanctimonious assholes some of my colleagues are. It still makes my blood boil when I think back on how many times I was told I should "know better because I'm a nurse." I'm a citizen of the US first. Yeah, I damn well know better! Argh. For the record, i never danced in a tik tok video or told anyone to stay home with my FB page.
