Sorry, Dan. I didn’t really mean to post that for you but for the rest of us. I had to look it up, and I live in South Dakota lol.

Defaulting to surgical masks in health care settings in 2025 is one of the most dissapointing examples of reluctance to change despite overwhelming evidence.

Even defaulting to KN95 style would significantly increase protection of the most vulnerable.

Infuriating inertia in the HC industry.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

The staff of the CDC - all public servants with impeccable credentials - often do unheralded work.

It’s that very work which makes us clinicians much smarter - they let us know of new threats, give us key disease trends, and help shape our diagnostic acumen.

A functioning CDC is good medicine.

If you live in:

South Dakota
Louisiana
West Virginia
Wyoming
Tennessee
Mississippi
Alaska

Call your right wing Senator and ask them why they're pushing to increase their constituents healthcare prices so much.

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward.

When he feels humiliated, he lashes out.

Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.

He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

A Population-Based Study of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccination and Autism | NEJM It has been suggested that vaccination against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) is a cause of autism. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all children born in Denmark from January 1991 th...

Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. Here are two of the best.

This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have β€œstayed and fought”,

With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr.

He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3

A hearty fuck you to those blaming healthcare workers and scientists for RFK Jr. blocking vaccines.

Thousands of us warned Congress and are doing everything in our power to fight this.

The people with whom you should be angry are Republican elected officials and the people who voted for them.

πŸ§‚Table salt doesn’t explode when you add it to soup.
πŸ’‰Saline solution doesn’t explode when injected into your veins.
πŸ₯€Your organs don’t explode when you drink Nuun, Tailwind, Gatorade, or other electrolyte drinks.

Everyone agrees on these, right?
These aren’t issues that are debated.

AI is designing proteins that could help treat cancer A team used generative AI to enhance T cells’ ability to fight melanoma. The immunotherapy approach needs more testing before use in cancer patients.

Melanoma cells crumble and die after being treated with human immune cells genetically engineered to display AI-designed proteins on the cells’ surface.
