In September of 2024, I attended the LLS (Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) Virtual National Blood Cancer Conference. There was a breakout session for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). The oncologist present updates on treatment, etc ... During the Q&A someone virtually asked if they should wear a mask to their treatment sessions. The oncologist quickly responded, 'It's a personal choice.... because we have Paxlovid'.
WTF ???? So, this is the message from professionals. 'Don't worry about prevention, because we have this one half assed pathetic treatment option'.
I'm very grateful for you, Julia Doubleday, for sharing your relentless research. The messaging is so very frustrating... and the medical community, for the most part, is not only clueless, but continue to perpetuate the disinformation campaign and minimize any assertion of facts, notably via their modeling.
Went to see a hand surgeon at Scripps Institute. My friend was masked, and asked the MD to please don a mask. My friend noted that, as a diabetic, he is immunocompromised. The MD responded, "I don't have one. Do you want to reschedule?"
SERIOUSLY??? A surgeon doesn't have a f'ing mask in his office? And he can't someone down the hall, to one of the many other health care practitioners' offices ??!?!?!?

Oh ... forgot another story from a friend.
