@EmeraldRobinson 4/4) mRNA stands for messenger RNA, which instructs cells on what type of protein to produce based on its unique sequence. Typically cells will produce mRNA by reading our genome, but they have no issue working with any instructions we send to them from the outside!

@EmeraldRobinson 1/4) Luciferase is the protein that allows fireflies to glow. Although it has been used to help test how well COVID vaccines work, there is no luciferase protein in any current mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.

You need to do some research before you ever agree to take a vaccine for coronavirus. What’s Luciferase? What’s hydrogel? What’s transfection? What’s mRNA? Some of these new vaccines will rewrite your DNA.

@EmeraldRobinson 3/4) Many cells in our body naturally release and absorb fat bubbles loaded with genetic material (usually RNA), when scientists do this intentionally, we call it transfection.

@EmeraldRobinson 2/4) Hydrogel is a water-absorbing polymer similar to Jello, and helps many medicines we take work longer before needing a new dose!

New video out on why antibody testing won't get us back to normal - too many false positives, too little known about immune response at this time. We break it down here: facebook.com/dansquaredonhe… #MedTwitter #COVID19 #COVIDー19

We’re back with another video: this time about the efficacy of cloth masks! Why did the CDC change its mind? How do we make sense of the weak evidence around wearing cloth masks? These and other questions answered for a lay audience! #MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter

@VPrasadMDMPH we definitely drew from your explanation of the importance of RCTs here!

Hydroxychloroquine: A Miracle Cure? youtu.be/ivdfq3vhmgk Watch our video to find out!

My friend @danchary1 and I are starting a health literacy project. First up: why hydroxychloroquine isn’t the miracle cure people think it is! #MedTwitter definitely check it out once the first video goes up, I think it’ll help with all those WhatsApp texts your relatives send!
