Bravo for @fabricefrank.bsky.social

In-depth interview. Former biologist turned computer scientist, Fabrice Frank, passionate about science, has since Covid launched into the hunt for scientific fraud. He has revealed several scandals of national magnitude.

Glad to hear you got it done early enough!

Yeah, MRSA was resistant to everything, so I got a combo of few things from my side research and against a dr advice used it and finished a nightmare of weeks in agony. Not phages, but other stuff. He is doing good! Thanks for asking!

Hope you get well soon! Is it healing well?

My son had MRSA on both toenails this summer and he had to have surgery on them, but he recovered fully. It was really swollen and red too.

I hope it doesn't spread & treatment is effective!โค๏ธ
