      People, especially doctors, have a hard time believing that anyone could deny germ theory, much least trust huge swaths of alternative medicine and antivax beliefs are based on germ theory denial. I can provide examples all day...https://twitter.com/AboutPediatrics/status/1385928275168415749 …

      David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Michelle Cohen, MD

      It's all just moralizing, with the underlying belief being that if you're sufficiently virtuous with respect to health you will never get sick.https://twitter.com/DocMCohen/status/1359954348432834561?s=20 …

      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
