Peter Lederman in Second Bout With COVID-19

I’m praying for Mr. Ledermann and his family. 

Get well Peter...ASAP!!

All - it’s illegal and unethical to discuss in a public forum someone’s health issues by sharing private medical details and making speculations on his health.  Let’s all pray for his speedy recovery but please let’s stop this now

It's not illegal to discuss the state of someone's health.  Unethical is your opinion.  Now if someone was sharing his medical chart, or one of his healthcare providers was disclosing information, that would be a different story.

Nobody has shared "private" medical details.  If you read the original post, Peter shared his medical condition with a member of the media.

As a former virologist - it would be extremely unusual for Peter to have a bad secondary infection so close to the first...We also don't know his vaccine status. A doctor at UCLA who follows long haul COVID patients has observed - as have others - that treatment with the vaccine after infection helps a significant percentage of those suffering symptoms (of course if they have not been vaccinated) - up to 40%.  That's been noted by others as well, and has benefited a higher percentage of patients in a few unpublished studies so far than any of the MAbs. 

I wish Peter well, and hope he is at a good research hospital where they can get him the best care. If not, perhaps he should consider transferring? And gets his vaccine(s).
