    It is a common delusion in alternative medicine that, by eating the right foods and living the right lifestyle and taking the right supplements, you can make yourself immune to any disease, in particular infectious diseases. 1/https://twitter.com/DrBradCampbell/status/1382523328842362880 …

    Health equals freedom. Become so healthy you aren’t scared of almost any 🦠 or germ. This year more than any other, vibrant health IS freedom. P.S. You have been free this whole time! 😉 All it takes is to accept risk, and then disobey.

        It’s a combination of germ theory denial coupled with victim blaming in which illness is almost entirely the fault of the person who becomes ill. 2/2

        Sometimes they do the opposite, like my patient whose “naturopath” charged him $700 for a proprietary “cleanse formula” to drink for weight loss — while also telling him it wouldn’t work unless he also changed his diet, exercised, and got more sleep!

        When is Twitter going to give us a way to report anti-vax, anti-mask, anti-science misinformation?

        "Wellness" is often a shorthand for moralizing about health and personal choices.https://twitter.com/DocMCohen/status/1359954348432834561?s=19 …

        Michelle Cohen, MD added,

        Let’s talk about a common, problematic way that we conceive of “health.” Too often we equate the absence of illness with morality. This leads down many bad paths both on a personal and a policy level. We need to be reminded periodically that health is not a moral virtue. THREAD pic.twitter.com/7KpjyzwYma

        Yes and worse. “Wellness” is often a shorthand for “I’m superior because I’m young & fit” a kind of dangerous, supremacist ideology.

        Even reading history debunks this. Millennia of ‘clean, organic’ eating with no ‘environmental toxins’, with the lower classes doing massive physical work (exercise) day in, day out.... yet, 1/3 of Europe died in bubonic plague?
