The lifecycle of evidence on twitter. Tweeter tweets. Reporter contacts tweeter about tweet. Reporter writes story using tweet as evidence. Tweeter tweets story as evidence that the original tweet was right.

As a fellow emerg doc, I'm extremely disappointed to see this inaccurate focus on COVID related illness as the main cause for incr ED wait times and staff shortages. Rather the link to COVID is that it exposed a system that has always been non functional, but now just more so.🧡

Don't you just love those work emails that say "See below. What do you think?" followed by a gigantic email chain that includes 53 people that started in 1997

There are more COVID-related hospital admissions in Ontario now VS recent weeks. Despite models predicting a smaller wave, this will still disproportionately impact vulnerable individuals & populations. Helpful: 1. Masking 2. Vaccination 3. Timely access to therapeutics

Because public vaccine mandates are novel, the general population should understand their rationale It would be helpful if governments created pre-determined clear criteria or reasoning in plain language Eg. contact with vulnerable people, close workplace settings

George Carlin listed "7 words you can't say on TV". Similarly, there are covid-related words/phrases you can't discuss on Twitter without triggering an outpouring of polarized responses. Just FYI, back on planet earth, we discuss these concepts frequently. πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

Seeing so many absurd tweets, I am reminded of the famous Einstein quote: "In a hundred years, nobody is going to remember how many twitter followers, likes, or retweets you had. All people are going to remember is the size of your pog collection"
