“All wars are a choice, and they hasten destruction of people and the planet. A redoubled counter movement from civil society and global health communities is needed to make health the fight of our lives. Health is a bridge to peace, and peace a prerequisite for health”

Figure showing the effect of statin versus placebo on events listed in statin SmPCs, subdivided by component parts.

Results for two outcomes with fewer than ten events are not shown in the figure, but are included in the appendix. FDR=false discovery rate. LFT=liver function test. RBC=red blood cell. RR=rate ratio. SmPC=Summary of Product Characteristics. *FDR significant at the 5% level; RR for results FDR-significant at the 5% level are indicated by black circles and RR for results not FDR-significant at the 5% level indicated by grey circles. †Excluded from FDR testing; RR for results excluded from FDR testing indicated by white circles.

Almost all side effects on statin labels not caused by statins, finds major meta-analysis; authors call for labels to be updated.

All of this is entirely disqualifying for both Makary and Means. Natural sunlight does NOT prevent death from measles or being paralyzed from polio. Lifespans have never been longer due to amazing scientific advancements, but reality TV culture will tear it all down through the empowerment of quacks

This week’s main story is about Twitter. Or “X” if you’re a hall monitor. How it went from bad to worse under Elon Musk, how it’s impacting us all, and why there’s exactly one account there that we’re still fine with.

Interesting op-ed balancing poetry & pragmatism of the heart. “We follow our hearts, have affairs of the heart, open our hearts, & give our hearts to our lovers. Nobody wants our spleens or our kidneys.” Ouch!
But how did the plot escalate a Mediterranean diet to a cardiac cath? Something’s missing?

Tweet: That slide is even worse than the NEJM KM curves with the truncated y-axis graph inserted on the proper graph. 

Now show me the curves without massively truncating the y-axis

Thank goodness Vinay is at FDA

This is such terrible advice that I should use it to update my example of when stretching your y-axis is misleading, and truncating your y-axis is fine.

Hint: Only a fraction of people in a trial will get infected regardless.

Rare, dangerous side effects of some COVID-19 vaccines explained “Groundbreaking” study uncovers why adenovirus-based shots caused life-threatening blood clots and bleeding in some people

Five years after the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines started, it seems the mystery of why the Astra-Zeneca and J&J vaccines led to a rare but deadly side effect of unusual blood clots and bleeding has finally been solved. 

It's a fascinating case of molecular mimicry that may help make vaccine safer.🧪

We need to stop our government's lies.
We need to stop the killing.
We need to stop our government's lies about the killing.
This man may have represented the best of us.
Only to be killed by what may be the worst of us.
Enough is enough.

I was fortunate to be able to spend one month on Dr. Bartlett's critical care elective in medical school. He was a dedicated physician who examined each patient with fresh perspectives of intellectual curiosity. Quite an amazing life story. RIP legend!

Not sure if any non-AI bot really cares, but I'm going to take a month break from social media to clear my headspace and restore my attention span to factory settings as I study for my 10year recertification exam. Stay sane and healthy out there!

‘Based on what I feel’: Trump escalates attack on childhood vaccines Trump promoted long-debunked claims that vaccines can cause autism as he called for changes to the childhood immunization schedule sought by anti-vaccine activists.

Trump’s attack on vaccines yesterday — delivered from the White House — “was the most dangerously irresponsible press conference in the realm of public health in American history” @pauloffit.bsky.social told us.

My deepest shock is watching Oz’s eyes absorbing the scene in front of him. I heard Oz present a talk at a cardiovascular conference many years ago. He knows better. How can someone so cheaply abandon their medical principles like this? Hippocrates rolling in his grave watching this fire.

Operation Warp Speed was arguably one of the most successful policy initiatives in recent history, accelerating vaccine delivery that saved millions of lives.

It’s remarkable to see some now urging the leaders who backed it to disown the achievement.

So sir…does this also apply to seatbelts and childseats in cars? Should Florida parents just be given the right in all matters related to their children? Maybe they should have the right to give them a small bump of cocaine in the morning if that fits their worldview?…This is absolutely bonkers
