It’s evidently been a very difficult year for medical news contributor Dr. Joy Henningsen, as her family has suffered a tremendous loss:

The pain. Oh, the pain!

Thank you for this. Is there a national hotline we can call?

*single tear runs down our cheek*

I have devoted near 100% of my free time fighting #misinformation during the pandemic, so this hits hard. I did all I could do except live someone’s life for them. Bad influencers in a person’s sphere & false news are difficult to unravel. Even the educated can be duped.

It’s true. Look at Joy, for example. She has a medical degree and thinks that she’s the cure for what ails society.

Thank you for cc-ing all those people, Joy. It’s helpful for you to spread the news that you’re cringe.

Heh.

And the main course is sanctimony! https://t.co/YoGwbCfmnP

You let your misinformation set ridiculous rules and excluded people?

Sad. https://t.co/C5Nvt11VAB

You realize how insensitive this comes off to those of us who actually lost people to cancer, or even to COVID, right?

This Thanksgiving, be thankful that you don’t have to share a meal with Joy Henningsen. We’d say her missing relative definitely came out ahead.

We never get to hear the other side of these kind of viral stories where the person is overwhelmed with joy that they don't have to see you https://t.co/Y8QkIgqyI1

Trust me, they're not missing your sanctimonious ass. https://t.co/6iuZzOvIuW
