211 dead journalists in Gaza
These are my colleagues, my comrades in storytelling, the very best of our profession being burned alive in front of the whole fucking world
My heart can’t fucking take it
@kavehmd.bsky.social TY for the conversation on The House of Pod. Appreciated talking with you and your cohosts about #science , #publichealth , politics & community. #SB277 #CommunityImmunity @caulimovirus.bsky.social
True.
All of the physicians in Congress should publicly demand RFK Jr & Marty Makary testify on why Peter Marks was forced out of the #FDA .
“truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies”

Dr. Richard Pan, speaking on SB 277
A poster to celebrate the passing of SB 277 into law
I mean, it’s hard to find images of “doctors in politics” so this was about as close as I could get
Still from the movie, The Rock. You’ll need to listen to the episode for this one.
New Episode!

A little news from me: At the urging of Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, the vast majority of California's Assembly Democrats are leaving X, citing concerns over misinformation, fake accounts, and racist, sexist and antisemitic posts on Elon Musk's platform. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

New measles cases have been confirmed in New Jersey and Kentucky with the one common factor being a lack of measles vaccinations.
It's a nuance that needs to be explained in this moment, because people aren’t thinking about the aid that way.
So, the U.S. gets 2 wins:
1) We keep the West safer w/out spilling a drop of American blood
2) Money flows back into our economy & supports American jobs
Just remember when news reports talk about U.S. aid to Ukraine and assign a dollar amount on it: Most of the aid the U.S. has sent to Ukraine comes as vouchers—meaning Ukraine buys U.S.-made military equipment.
RFK Jr calls #ADHD medications a threat to patients and is dangerously stigmatizing #mentalhealth . Don't panic and hoard medication, but do call your Congressmember to demand that the FDA follow the #science on as required by law. #NoStigma @rollingstone.com

In the private sector, a CEO who did something this stupid would be fired by the Board of Directors and company shareholders.

#RFKjr said that he would prioritize research on chronic diseases and would give infectious-disease research at the NIH “a break” for eight years. #eggs #avianflu

Appointing & confirming #RFKjr will likely increase the cost of eggs. #FightFlu

Are you better off than you were three weeks ago?

Wow! Death rates from cancer in children have declined as the number of childhood vaccines in the U.S. increased! #Ivax2protect
Actually, infections are the cause of death of a majority of US cancer patients, so preventing infections reduces cancer death rates.

It's really not about leaving the other platforms. It's about bringing people here and giving them more engagement than the other apps.
That's what people want. Engagement. Takes nothing to offer it
If there is a user on another app that you like, DM them and invite them here. Post and tag me
In a barrage of posts X rife with misinformation, Elon Musk revived questions about a child sex abuse scandal, vilified the prime minister of the UK and defended Tommy Robinson, a jailed far-right agitator.
Incredible.
Yes, and in fact the good studies confirm his claims aren’t fact.
“In any case, he added, blaming the vaccine is an ‘ableist’ response to #autism by some parents. ‘They don’t want to accept that their child is neurodivergent,’ Pan said. ‘You want to say your child is broken and my life has been ruined and it’s the fault of Big Pharma’”
TY, @rabcarian.bsky.social
“As for the Kennedy advisor's petition, Pan said, how could we withhold a potentially lifesaving treatment from children in a control group to test the efficacy of a vaccine..?…
‘Are you willing to volunteer your child into the control group?’” #Ivax2protect

This. 👇
Phrases like: “doctors don’t want you to know this”. Also, if they use testimonials and not evidence.
Me too.
Happy to be here on Bluesky too, where I don’t have to see Elon’s tweets right at the tip-top of my feed every time I open his app even though I don’t follow the guy. He doesn’t seem to want me to miss every gross thought he’s thinking about.
