I need to be REALLY CLEAR about something that is important. Life saving important. @MSNBC needs to have the ‘right’ type of doctors and specialists on to talk about COVID-19. This is the first week I’ve seen them have some who talked properly about immunity (or lack there of)
& the reasons people might not have it from a novel virus. Chris Hayes had someone who stayed it perfectly last night. Fauci tried to explain why it is not necessarily the case, someone earlier today explained why, but the general doctor doing the special w/Savannah & Hoda AGAIN
completely repeated the falsehood about immunity from a viewers question. Directly saying if you’ve had it, you’ll be immune. FALSE! I’m a psychologist w/a specialty in rare diseases and I understand this far better than you. Wtf?! This matters. China, South Korea, US all showing
this is NOT the case. In notable numbers. Why is this? I could get DEEP. Deeper than we need by tweet, but people can get no immunity, an immunity for a very small window of time, a more stable immunity ala the window you think of for an annual vaccine or an MMR. We can develop
“Titre levels” but the individuals with no immunity or low immunity, who they are finding all over the world are getting Covid-19 again (and really not smart people said “they must of just still had it all along.” 🙄). No. When we’re young/old we often get vaccines for HIB, and
Pneumonia, MMR. If you don’t or have low “titres” you may get colds, sinus infections, bronchitis & pneumonia!! Often!! No titres, low titres, inadequate titres all apply. Pneumonia for example has titres (off top of my head) 29-30 titres, & a minimum of 15 is adequate (basement)
that means the bare minimum, not good. Often revaccinate to try and ‘boost’ your immunity. There (finally) has been talk this week, starting to talk about ‘this’ in terms of levels of immunity, & this is a much more important way to understand it, vs a very black and white immune
not immune. That is clearly NOT turning out to be the case. Any medical professional you hear that says, there will simply be a test, an antibody, and it will say you are immune or not, is just a generalist, an internist, and is not who they should be talking to. They need the
Dr. Fauci’s. This is not to say they need the absolute top person, but they DO, need allergy and immunologists, rare disease experts, infectious disease specialists. THIS is their jam. They think of and look at things ina way other doctors don’t . An angle that is simple & common
sense to them, but quite literally doesn’t even occur to the other doctors,
Because it’s not in their POV. I have watched the doctors in certain fields (who I don’t know why they keep putting repeat inaccurate GUESSES appearance after appearance, and it becomes disinformation).
Fauci ✅
Klein ✅
Zeek Emanuel (sic)✅
No one who rattles off any other nonsense. It’s dangerous. You’ve some good experts but your website sucks @MSNBC There’s no good way to search this, or I’d tell you your proper medical experts, but you need to be more responsible yourselves
