Dr. Oz appears to have invited Jeffrey Epstein to a Valentines Day party in 2016, long after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting sex with underage girls.

The EPA no longer exists. Its actions yesterday were an act of appeasement for the oil and gas industry, the very sector it’s meant to oversee.

POTUS doesn’t care about your health or your child’s health.

Society will bear the costs of this selfishness.

Peak irony is environmental lawyer and “MAHA” spin master RobertKennedyJr serving as our top health official just as the goons EPA destroy that agency and bring back toxic smoke and acid rain.

This note struck me, and it’s why I absolutely love what I do.

Medicine will always be a special profession filled with humbling chances to try and provide a helping hand in a family’s worst moments.

It’s a great reminder at a time when the rancor and noise at the top can feel so distracting.

BASH: Is this measles outbreak a consequence of the administration undermining support for vaccines?

DR OZ: I don't believe so. Secretary Kennedy has been advocating for measles vaccines

Topol: The same thing occurs with all these wellness influencers—the latest being Peter Attia. There are hundreds and hundreds of these so-called longevity hackers. One cardinal rule I have is this: if somebody is selling something, they have no credibility. Zero.

Meidas Health: Dr. Eric Topol on Innovation, Accountability, and Hope in Medicine Dr. Vin Gupta and Dr. Eric Topol examine how evidence-based medicine is being undermined by hype, incentives, and rushed technology, and what clinicians must do to push back.

In an era where many misrepresent their expertise and pollute the very meaning of being a physician - to first, do no harm - there’s the iconic @erictopol.bsky.social to remind us with his sage words

Thank you, Dr Topol, for joining us @meidastouch.com

Next Meidas Health with the legendary @erictopol.bsky.social coming this weekend.

We spoke of the rapid technological changes impacting modern medicine, the proliferation of medical nonsense from faux-experts, and what gives him hope.

Hope you’ll tune in!

Patients deserve an easy way to discover the lowest price to pay.

I applaud the President in bringing attention to drug costs.

But if you want a one stop shop for low prices, TrumpRx isn’t it.

@mcuban.bsky.social and @costplusdrugs.com @goodrx.bsky.social are much more comprehensive.

Weight loss drugs, around for years. Incredible promise, but still lots we don’t know with long term use and possible side effects

Vaccines, around for centuries, incredible promise and far less uncertainty on their safety

Keep that in mind as this admin pushes the former

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Remarkable moment yesterday, where @sanders.senate.gov grilled the current NIG Director on the continued nonsense linking vaccines to autism

He either forgot his talking points or couldn’t live with the moral injury any longer because he said the truth: there isn’t a link.

Peter Attia never finished a residency and isn’t board certified in anything. Yet, he’s made millions suggesting he knows more than anyone else on “longevity medicine.”

Add in his vile private behavior, and somehow Bari Weiss is still advocating for him?

In what’s become a running theme, when the federal government abdicates health leadership, California steps in.

Dramatically pulling out of @who.int without a sensible plan B is harmful to all of us. Patients, providers and communities nationwide need an improved, not isolated, WHO.

The American Lung Association released its annual Global Tobacco Control report yesterday.

Smoking remains the second leading risk factor for death in the US despite enormous progress in recent decades.

Actions by this administration put all of that progress at risk. We spotlight for @ms.now
