This is an idiotic comment. The thread is a literal translation of this article written by the MD telling the story:

this is an online profile for the doctor:

Why is it idiotic?

It could absolutely be true -- but there are definitely interests out there who may wish to spread panic.

I could just as easily create a similar low-volume Twitter account with the opposite portrayal -- doesn't mean people should believe me.

That’s actually a different thread. Though, the doctor in the thread above is also real.
