Gabriella here and to be completely honest I'm a little sad to read this thread. I'm just a normal 23 year old girl who is learning each and every day. I have never claimed to be an almighty ever knowing power. If you met me in real life you'd realize I'm not full of myself, I'm not an ego-maniac, and I surely do not claim to be an expert at everything. But I do believe that I am aptly educated in the field of science. Over the next 10 years of residency I am sure I will gain even more knowledge and I look forward to it! I treat all of my patients with respect, kindness, and understanding. Because many people will not share my views on many topics but I went into medicine to be a support to the patients I see. If someone disagrees I have no problem sitting back and listening to their concerns and their thought process. I am not a perfect medical student, I am not a perfect person. I have never claimed to be and I continue to be open minded and truly excited and passionate about the learning I am doing. I just want to address a few points that I have read as I perused this thread. There is a lot of misinformation on here. My parents decided not to get vaccinated and I have 100% respected that choice, I have not attempted to force them into anything I haven't even tried to persuade them. We had a first initial conversation on the topic and they relayed to me their discomfort over the vaccine and my response was, "I respect your choice :)". I am not some monster who does not respect my parents' or others right to make medical decisions. The core of the tweet is that my right to choose my own medical decisions was not being respected by my parents. And that, is where my frustration stems from. I've also read comments claiming that I haven't taken basic science, organic chemistry, ethics, or any course that explains how to read a research study. I have! I excelled in those courses but that is besides the point. I am not saying that as a student I have the knowledge set to make decisions for the health of others. Truthfully as a student I think I would have to be mighty full of myself and full of hubris to make decisions for others without having completed my education. But I do think I am capable of making these decisions for myself which is the initial point of my tweet. I have read this entire thread and overall I just see a lot of people, like myself, trying to make sense of a huge historical

event that we are living through. I hope you can all see me as the 23 year old that I am, just trying my best to LEARN. The passion for learning and growing is there, I am looking forward to the experience that will come in the next decade, two, three etc. Because I am a life long learner. I hope y'all have an excellent day.
