A Queensland study of more than 5,000 people found similar rates of functional limitations in the daily lives of people a year after a COVID-19 infection, compared to seasonal flu and other respiratory illnesses. abc.net.au/news/2024-03-1…
@CollignonPeter What nonsense. A flawed study with conclusions not supported by the results. And not even peer-reviewed. I have been a research professor for 30 years. If this study was submitted by an undergraduate research student I’d fail it
@k_eagar @CollignonPeter Puzzling that Professor Collignon seems to support this 'research' in spite of flaws obvious even to the least scientifically literate among us.
@deborahdavigdor @CollignonPeter There are a very small group of infectious disease doctors who indiscriminately support anything that downplays or dismisses COVID and its aftermath. They lack empathy but love media attention
@PerpetualWinger @miffyjayne @deborahdavigdor @CollignonPeter I understand that infectious disease physicians are not required to demonstrate any competency in public health or epidemiology. And it shows
@PerpetualWinger @miffyjayne @deborahdavigdor @CollignonPeter It is extraordinary that you can be appointed a Chief Medical Officer or a Chief Health Officer in Australia without any training or expertise in public health or epidemiology. The people leading public health don’t need to know anything about public health. Extraordinary
@k_eagar @gemcarey @PerpetualWinger @miffyjayne @deborahdavigdor @CollignonPeter As such they cannot give health advice
@k_eagar @PerpetualWinger @miffyjayne @deborahdavigdor @CollignonPeter Cant be right surely 🤒🤕😳
@k_eagar @PerpetualWinger @miffyjayne @deborahdavigdor @CollignonPeter I was genuinely shocked when I found out the paucity of CMO’s resume and what a Canberra bubble political appointee he was Most Australians would have no idea
@k_eagar @PerpetualWinger @miffyjayne @deborahdavigdor @CollignonPeter ‘Medical Cosplay’ - who would have ever thought it would end up in Public Health? 100% extraordinary and 100% a case study for future generations of what not to do ever again!
@k_eagar @gemcarey @PerpetualWinger @miffyjayne @deborahdavigdor @CollignonPeter Sounds like the guy in Florida.
@k_eagar @PerpetualWinger @miffyjayne @deborahdavigdor @CollignonPeter As far as I’m aware, Gerard’s only claim to fame in terms of PH prior to his appointment to QLD CHO was to desynchronise traffic lights in Wagga Wagga to slow down traffic. 🤷♂️
