Had the chance to see @booker.senate.gov do what he does best at the Bloomberg Summit last December. He’s a clip.

If they really want to know if cod liver oil and vitamin A work, they need to stop the steroid asap. And then randomly select sick unvaccinated children to receive only those meds or one of them. This doesn’t happen since it’s unethical to kill a child you can save with real treatments.

Just watched Rep. Jim Clyburn on @msnbc.com It’s clear he has no clue what’s happening, no sense of urgency. He needs to go.

The American education system needs to be overhauled. I’m so grateful to have been educated in Maryland.

Another amazing Johns Hopkins Bloomberg American Health Initiative Summit! I was able to thank the man who changed the trajectory of my career and life, paying for my education and expenses. I have been able to apply all I have learned to make our State a healthier, more resilient community. #medsky

Same. He spoke briefly on H5N1 and the need to speak “conservative” to reach people.

Senator Cory Booker: the US is the largest sprayer of pesticides and herbicides and toxic chemicals in the world. Our food systems need to be overhauled. We have ultra processed sugar filled addictive foods. #publichealth

Former Surgeon General Jerome Adams being interviewed by Jonathan Capehart. Good conversation about politics and health. Rural vs urban divides need to be bridged. “Misinformation is a grave challenge.”#publichealth #medsky

Wait, what a great idea. If only there weren’t already hundreds of millions of dollars worth of public service announcements :60, :30 & :15 sec slots for radio, tv and social media. And documentaries, movies, books and investigative journalism, etc. 😐

Social media is a tool for recruitment. In this case, sharing unread media is self selection. But that is separate from actually reading & understanding recruitment of whatever study one is (not) reading.

I spend a fair amount of time saying:

The article doesn’t show what you think it does.

No one uses a p value of .10.

The data pool is too small.

Recruitment method?

Thats the wrong type of study design.

Teaching people to read the methods section is impossible.

When the issue is men attacking women and girls, why is the solution to punish trans women?

Lessons in Fascism Prof. Ben-Ghiat has been laying out brutal truths on why Trump is a fascist

This is excellent...and important.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat is a highly credible and well-respected voice on such matters...one not prone to hyperbole.

If you think the word "fascist” is exaggerated or overkill or too radical, etc., think again.

The pandemic abuse flashbacks are brutal. I’m exhausted before the fight has even started. We need to focus our comms & misinformation mitigation strategies.

We can throw out all data from November. Or maybe we all fill it out and fully document the collective crisis for science.
