‘Sir … You’ve Got More Problems Than That.“ Anti-Masker on Twitter Gets Schooled by Fellow Dr.

Dr. De Brun, like many professionals, has noted on his Twitter account that his “Posts are my own views & do not reflect the Medical Profession.” Also, he lists his occupations as, “GP/Microbiologist/Philosopher/Parent.” Oookay, then.

(Seriously, I’ve had friends complain about customers who actually thought nookie in a booth was a great idea. Just, for the love of all that’s holy, don’t do it.) Three others are transmitted via blood and bodily fluids. And conjunctivitis is nowhere near as deadly as COVID-19. …

“dr” de brun needs to hit the burn unit!
