What do we call ourselves over here? #EpiMastodon? #EpiTooters?
I see the Daily Mail is doing Daily Mail things this morning. Seriously, we're still using the language of "immunity debt" as if that isn't going to hurl us into science-denial hell? Does #ImmunityDebt attempt to describe a real phenomenon? Sort of? Immune systems need input to create antibodies. But this doesn't come close to explaining the entire picture, and when we simplify things that aren't actually simple, we get people killed. #epidemiology #EpiFedi #EpiMastodon #DisabilityJustice

@benvincent med-mastodon is a new seven instance and comprises mostly med twitter folx. I boosted it but - I’m specifically on a different server, might want to give a few of them a follow. You can also use the hashtag #Epimastodon I think
