Ryan McCormick, M.D.

Thanks Greg! I try not to make it too wonky, but also referenced well so it’s not just me making stuff up… unlike some leaders we suffer now!

THIS MOTHERFUCKER HELD A GREAT GATSBY PARTY WHILE 43 MILLION PEOPLE GO HUNGRY AND HEALTHCARE COSTS KEEP RISING.

In an interview on Fox News, anchor Jesse Watters mocks Dr. Anthony Fauci, Kid Rock mocks the public health tool of masking, then both devolve into fits of laughter at Kid’s gleeful use of the disability slur “retard.”

Here’s one way to think about it:

Ryan McCormick, M.D. (@mccormickmd) I’m glad they are building the monstrously garish White House Billionaires’ Ballroom. Someday, when we the people regain and improve our American democracy, The People’s House can be returned to the p...

We should be drawing up plans now for how to retrofit the grotesque White House Billionaires’ Ballroom.

In the future it needs to be repurposed as a National Civic Center. Galas honoring teachers, first responders, military, scientists, etc. Town halls. The people’s house returned to the people.

The fascist doctor will see you now Monday morning after a No Kings weekend

Seriously. Maybe they could convert this into a free health clinic someday:

The fascist doctor will see you now Monday morning after a No Kings weekend

At the end of your primary care visit, Dr. Strong thinks it’s funny as he jokes about dumping liquid feces on you and your family. Sound familiar?

mccormickmd.substack.com/p/the-fascis...

Can you really see hatred in this family dog?

And why hate on your extended American family, those like us who gave up a Saturday in October to join millions of others saying no fascism, no to state sanctioned hate, no effing kings?

take away their freedom of speech, make and take more billions of dollars, and gut their family bonds by stoking hatred of some enemy within.

Don’t you miss us like we miss you?

This was my favorite canine protester of the day at No Kings in Philly. Absolutely no American hate from anyone on display. Just a plea for more Americans, especially some Republicans, to say “no kings” to the people who twist their values, take away their affordable healthcare (continued) #nokings

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Do you find this propaganda art inspiring? Did you know our President just got his Covid and flu shots?

Historical Parallels Between Authoritarian Health Movements and “Make America Healthy Again” Let's go with this first post!

It is so bad I’m literally gasping. This post gives you the throughline going back to the 1930s. It’s so predictable and discouraging, yet calling it out is a necessary precondition for dealing with it?

Hi Mike. 💯.
I found this perspective highly explanatory and highly concerning. History repeats and repeats:

Historical Parallels Between Authoritarian Health Movements and “Make America Healthy Again” Let's go with this first post!

There are plenty of (extremely concerning) parallels with fascist Germany and Italy’s “health movements” around the same time as their purges of all kinds:

I hear you. I found this quite instructive in terms what’s really going down with MAHA and history:

They were proven right in the sense that millions of older people’s lives, millions of younger people’s health ability, and hundreds of thousands of essential workers were deemed expendable.

At least they let us know where they stood/still stand.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

EXCLUSIVE: Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

Excellent rhetorical questions, I’m going to go out on a limb and say “no.”

Do you think he has some extra motivation to go more radical to earn street credibility with his new non-clinical crew?

Breaking News on updated Covid shots I’m on a break between morning and evening office hours seeing patients, but I wanted to send a quick email out about what I understand from today’s FDA updates on the Covid shots for this season. Ple...

So the shots coming out right now should be 2025/26 updated shots against KP.8.1 variant (Moderna Spikevax and new mNexspike) (Pfizer Comirnaty), (Novavax against JN.1 - older variant but should be ok).

Availability highly variable based on what state.

Let me know your experience in your state if you have one!

In PA CVS pharmacists cannot give Covid shots/flu shots, which they have in stock now, without a doctor’s prescription.

For anyone!

Never dreamed this would happen for flu shots. Without ACIP meeting, many states can’t dispense shots.

As you know, this has been a talking point, I hear it from vaccine skeptical patients in my office all the time, tragic that it has gone mainstream, show us the evidence

Thank you! Will read this later today

Jesus. It’s just so bad it’s farcical. In that spirit check out my new logo for the the CDC (I guess click on my profile?). The new logo takes inspiration from the old timey Cracker Barrel nostalgia for diseases like measles, tetanus, and polio.
Make America Cracker Again might be an apropos slogan

Here’s a new logo for the institution formerly known as CDC, now rebranded as the CFD. Dropped “prevention”, because that takes work, expertise, scientists. Used a Cracker Barrel style that harkens back to the good old days of unchecked polio, measles, and other diseases. What do y’all think?

I’m slothing around in bed as calls from downstairs to “hurry up and get out of bed, we’re have so much to do today” disturb my zen!

Sucks. Well at least it was executed on a technicality? Please let us know if any of your actual writing has been thwarted. Ps- doesn’t VP have some purity about taking money from pharma? He’s not the worst but open secrets shows $5.4k -

Given this, the AAP recommends a COVID-19 vaccine for all children ages 6 through 23 months old to help protect against serious illness.“

The confusion, the obstruction, and the sabotage of vaccines for children and the rest of us has only just begun.

An apparently healthy child born today WILL NEED TO WAIT UNTIL AGE 65 for their first COVID shot (if you listen to the captured CDC).

Fortunately the AAP is lead by actual pediatricians. They remind us that “Infants and children 6 through 23 months of age are at the highest risk for severe COVID

Breaking news on the updated COVID shots for this year. It’s not great, but it could have been worse. Here’s a table I made with the goods, click through for bigger version and details of who can and can’t get the COVID shots, according to the gatekeepers:

The next time you’re feeling defeated by fascism, climate apocalypse, anti-science capture of our instituitons,and Sydney Sweeney jeans… just think of how this blue monkey’s got your back.

You’re welcome 😂
