    Reminders: Got a packed day at the hospital so can’t answer all questions But many Qs are already answered; read my timeline. Consult your doctor for individual medical care My approach is practical, not ideal. If you’re looking for 100% certainty, I’m not your man:) Be well!

  4. Treating COVID Patient in a Hospital? - Give oxygen if <92% - Dexamethasone 6 mg once a day for 10 days - Low dose blood thinners - Don’t use Remdesivir, antibiotics, plasma, tocilizumab routinely - Demand evidence based treatments from your doctors - Don’t self medicate

  6. Mengobati COVID di bawah $10 Parasetamol atau ibuprufen untuk demam / nyeri $ 3 Beli masker secukupnya seharga $5 Jangan buang-buang uang untuk vitamin, ivermectin, atau "perlengkapan covid" lainnya. Berikan $2 terakhir untuk amal!

  7. There is an extreme narrative by experts that frames the Delta variant as if it’s nerve gas. It’s not. If you’re high risk, that’s different. Otherwise wear KN95 masks, avoid indoor parties, get vaccinated and KEEP LIVING. Extreme narratives are typically flawed narratives.

    Next you will give people money to eat - says on on the crazy vaccine hesitancy in the US, the 100 dollar incentive for those who get the Jab and the elitism of First World Problems. Full conversation :

    While infections (and transmission) can still occur, the vaccines work very well. In CDC's data they showed vaccinated people had a 25-fold reduction in risk of death, a 25-fold reduction in risk of hospitalization, and 8-fold reduction in risk of disease (Disclosure: Pfizer BoD)

  12. Two doses of COVID vaccine provide STRONGER immunity compared to natural infection. Get vaccinated 1-3 months post recovery.

  13. More Deadly Variants? Anything is possible: 1. A more dangerous variant may emerge 2. Or mass vaccinations may slow this pandemic down No one can say with certainty. What is certain is that COVID is not HIV, HSV or Influenza. This virus will slowly become irrelevant

  14. During the first 7 months of 2021, I have seen ZERO deaths in fully vaccinated COVID patients. During the last 7 months of 2020, I saw dozens of patients perish to COVID despite all our treatments. What changed? It's not ivermectin or zinc or vitamins. It's vaccinations.

  15. COVID does not ask if you are: Liberal or Conservative Muslim or Christian Asian or American Black or White Sunni or Shia Rich or Poor It only asks: Are you human? I hope humanity could learn this one thing from the virus

    1/3 I’m going to write something that may get me kicked out of academia🤷🏼‍♀️but true. Dear Medical Student: Do not sacrifice your well-being, your relationships, or your health for “Honors” or a grade or board score. It’s not worth it. Your boards are simply a stepping stone.👇🏼

    I would like to say BIGGEST THANKS to dr for tweeting in Indonesian. My aunt (an antivax, conspiracy theory fan, don't want to go to doctor, only rely on God/miracle) just posted a screencapture of your Indonesian tweet to family whatsapp group.

  20. Doctors make money by TREATING COVID patients, not by preventing COVID. ALL the doctors that I know have taken ZERO $ from the vaccine companies (we despise big pharma too). Your decision to take/refuse the vaccine has ZERO impact on my life. Wake up. Get your shot

  21. Dokter menghasilkan uang dengan MENGOBATI pasien COVID, bukan dengan mencegah SEMUA dokter yang saya kenal telah mengambil NOL $ dari perusahaan vaksin (kami juga membenci farmasi besar) Keputusan Anda untuk mengambil/menolak vaksin memiliki dampak NOL pada hidup saya Bangun
