Yesterday, I reported for Forbes how Musk had tweeted, “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci” early on Sunday morning. The “Branch Covidians” tweet was just one of a several Covid-19 pandemic-related tweets from Musk over the past few days. Scientific evidence has also shown that multi-layered interventions combining Covid-19 vaccination, face mask use, air purification, and appropriate social distancing can prevent the spread of the SARS-CoV-2. Only a nit-Twit would claim that face masks and other Covid-19 precautions have been implemented simply to “worship a disease.” Scientific evidence has clearly shown that the SARS-CoV-2 can not only kill but also leave those who survive with persistent symptoms, otherwise known as Long Covid. You should also try to keep your distance from anyone who may be infected with the SARS-CoV-2.Īlthough Musk didn’t specifically refer to face masks in his tweet, the implication of the term “Branch Covidians” is that public health recommendations such as face mask use are being issued for ulterior motives besides protecting the public.
In her Twitter profile, Kerzner describes herself as a poop-throwing unicorn wrangler, which presumably means that you should keep your distance when she is with unicorns. Similarly, Joy Henningsen, MD, a Clinical Assistant Professor of Radiology at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, asked Musk who specifically he’s referring to with the term “Branch Covidians” and whether they are the people “who mourn loved ones lost to Covid”, “who put their own lives at risk to save others”, “who endured abuse to share updates b/c everyone deserves good health”, “who are altruistic and protect others”, or someone else: Show some respect to those of us who worked tirelessly in the pandemic to help humanity.” While Musk’s personal wealth reportedly went from just under $20 billion in 2019 to up to above $250 billion in 2022, Hotez indicated that, “I didn’t sleep for 3 yrs to help make a low-cost patent-free vaccine technology for the world, communicating to the nation 3-10 times daily to keep American families safe.” Hotez added, “And did this for 3 years without financial compensation…just because it was the right thing to do.” As you can see, Hotez told Musk, who by the way is the world’s richest human (or maybe the second richest, depending on how Tesla stock prices are doing and how many shares Musk has been selling) the following: “This is unnecessary.
