From Igor Chudov:
A tragic Twitter thread (archive link, ThreadReader) by an Indian obstetrician Dr. Rajesh Parikh.
Dr. Parikh highlights the dangers of Covid by showing us a newborn infant, suffering from respiratory distress and “White Lungs”, unable to breathe, urgently transferred to NICU due to MIS-N, "Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome-neonates”.
Just like myself, Dr. Parikh is not a native English speaker, and his tweets have plenty of misspellings. Nevertheless, I checked him out, and he is real. Dr. Parikh opened his Twitter account prior to the pandemic. Before 2020, he posted various very personal musings for his then-small following, however, his past posts clearly show him to be a medical person.
Going back to the story of the suffering newborn, Rajesh shows us the X-ray of the infant, clearly showing good reasons to be in NICU!
Note a mention in passing that the mother was fully vaccinated. The treating pediatrician (who is treating this specific infant) Dr. Jainish Bhandari also has a Twitter account and explains to us in his reply:
