Who Is Risa Hoshino?

Toggling seamlessly between bikini and lab coat, Dr. Risa Hoshino’s Instagram persona embodied the millennial feminist: a pediatrician treating covid patients on the front lines who could still show off her body and build her profile as a lifestyle influencer. A vaccine advocate who collaborates with nationally renowned physicians, yet also finds time to talk about her favorite lipstick stain. A physician who manages to create science-education content for free in her downtime, then complains about being so underpaid and overworked that she asks her followers to contribute $5 each to her personal “coffee fund” (hundreds of her followers obliged).

After Dr. Hoshino unsurprisingly grew her Instagram to 113,000 followers in a year-and-a-half, Medical Marketing + Media  dubbed her one of “The top 12 physician influencers” on that platform.  Beckers HR called her a "top 10 physician influencer" and The Scientist lauded her as "a veteran of using social media to debunk scientific falsehoods.”

The only problem? She crafted her entire “covid health hero” persona on half-truths and exaggerations.

  13. I noticed something during 2020 and 2021, regarding how some of the stunningly beautiful vet techs at my vet looked (when you have a "special needs" dog you tend to get to know the people at your vet pretty well.) Even when you spend 60 minutes putting your war paint on in the morning, and touching it up throughout the day, if you're really forced to wear a mask for 8+ hours every day, there is NOTHING you can do to fully conceal the marks that will be left.

    It dawned on me that every time I saw some "front line hero" on TV with tears streaming down her face and putting on a dramatic performance about how she was living in some kind of war zone, that when her makeup and hair were so perfectly done and there wasn't a flaw to be seen, that I was watching a literal TV show performance, complete with rehearsed lines that had been practiced repeatedly.

    If you pay attention to the whole Ukraine situation, there are similar trends, like young stunningly beautiful women who somehow found an hour to do themselves up right before crying into the camera about how "evil Russians" almost murdered them just a few minutes ago.

    It's all theater. ALL OF IT.
