A woman spent years posing as a bisexual Native American scientist and university professor, claiming in recent months to be suffering persistent, months-long symptoms of COVID-19 until finally announcing that the fictitious persona she created had died from the disease.
The woman, BethAnn McLaughlin, a former assistant professor of neurology at Vanderbilt University, operated the Twitter account with the handle @Sciencing_Bi. She claimed to have contracted the coronavirus in April, according to a BuzzFeed News investigation, and said she suffered persistent symptoms that included a "loss of language fluency."
On Tuesday, BethAnn McLaughlin confirmed in a statement to The New York Times that she had been responsible for the Twitter account.
"I take full responsibility for my involvement in creating the @Sciencing_Bi Twitter account," she said in a statement to the New York Times, sent through a lawyer. "My actions are inexcusable. I apologize without reservation to all the people I hurt."

So, did she do anything illegal? Is it necessary to clutter up our lives with these insane examples of wokeism that abound? She’s a nut. Maybe she’ll get some help. Frankly I don’t care.
Seems like it would be a good idea
It certainly wood. I think what happens is that Republicans think figure that since the black vote is (mostly) hopeless, that Hispanics are no different and Asians are so small in number to not matter (hint, there’s a lot of Asians...nearly half as many Asians as blacks now). And both Hispanics and Asians are MUCH CLOSER to Republican values than Democrat ‘values’.
yep
“She let me take my shoulders from my ears”
Uh, what?
Mental illness is rampant.
That bale of cotton should long for a paddle wheeler and cornbread, mostly cornbread.
Looks like she might have eaten a Native American or two.

This sounds like the story of Old Blue, the talking dog.
A college dude convinced his father that Old Blue could talk & was taking classes and could dear ol’ Dad send some extra money to support Old Blue’s special needs?
Did this for four years but the day before graduation Old Blue was run over by a truck, wasn’t that a tragedy, Dad?
How is this any different from Old Blue?
;^)
Did the CDC still count it as a COVID death?
Yes, bet on it.
There is only one truth in this age.
See tag.

Looks like a fat(ter) Melissa McCarthy
what is this 4chan I keep hearing about?
HOW does this even happen?
