Peter Lederman in Second Bout With COVID-19

Interesting how someone - who works at the 2nd largest hospital - does not give up their credentials…

Because in their own minds, there is nothing they are not an expert in. In reality, they should stick to discussions on isolation devices etc.

There are also line cooks who work at the same hospital. I would no more want their thoughts on how to prepare a sous-vide steak and what wine would go well with it if served with white asparagus than I would want to know their thoughts on the efficacy of vaccines for CV19.

It’s sad how some you would think should have a rational outlook on the complexities of life, but no. Frail egos do not allow for that. 
It’s also dangerous, the useless and false vitriol spewing from their keyboard.

Sad.

So, kinda a photographer?

Clearly, not published researcher in the medical world, and more specifically not a published researcher in the field of virology. Certainly the word expert does not apply.

Thanks!

@thankful 

What kind of investigation? Using what methodology? Accessing what materials?

 @stringreen 

You would rather have the do nothing Twitter tool, who is a thin skinned narcissistic egomaniacal chaos creating clown than someone who is getting the job done? 
Granted, in a country with a population in excess of 330 million people, you would hope they could find someone better to choose from than a lying conman and someone who should have retired by now.

Wow.

So happy for those of you who are actual doctors, thank you for providing a voice of reason.

The rest, well…

@devilboy 

yeah, the numbers in the US are horrifying. They speak to how poorly the pandemic was addressed as it hit, and how poorly it was address by the Cheeto in Charge.

Love how words like socialism are bantered about. Perhaps you can share a definition of what that means? Please don’t copy and paste…

Norway, is a socialist country, with one of the highest standards of living in the world, along with some of the greatest freedoms. This was a country that suggested it’s nationals return from the US when Covid hit - due to the substandard medical care available there…

@devilboy

Wrong.

Most certainly not in that age group, nor am I left leaning in my political stance. I am decidedly non partisan. You however, sound like you don’t have a passport and have never left your own zip code, hence the regressive and ignorant viewpoints.

And yes, I was born and raised in Norway. Have lived both in Scandinavia and North America. Remember when the Cheeto in Charge wanted Norwegians to move to the US? He wanted the well educated, skilled and well to do people Norway had to offer? Yeah, they were not interested…

You are confusing something for communism. Do some research on the Scandinavian countries. That is what the “left” wants for America. Free education, free healthcare etc. Oh wait, that would require the ability to think outside of your own little box. 
And, it’s people who live with the kinds of fears, paranoia and ignorance that the right preys upon. They know that there are large segments of the population who feel they have not been given their fair share. Entitlement is gross. Add being lazy to that, and you are ripe to be targeted for radicalization. 

@devilboy 

Heres the thing.

Opinions are a combination of thoughts and beliefs.

Thoughts are not facts, and beliefs are not truths.

Everyone is equally entitled to their own opinion, however, all opinions are not of equal value.

That is not a thought or belief, that is a fact as well as the truth.

Wow, just wow.

So much ignorance on full display here.

People really must be lacking in their self-esteem and feel a complete lack of relevance in their lives to buy into the BS conspiracy theories.

But you are sooooo special, that there are "truths" that you alone are capable of understanding.

You're being used, and radicalized by those who prey on your weakness and ignorance.
