Via @drjonl.bsky.social: Update re William Malis disciplinary case:
He is not licensed to practice and cannot present it otherwise; he cannot treat patients; he cannot call himself doctor. (This is a summary of the screenshot, see also: cpsa.ca/news/stateme...)

US politicians should receive the worst healthcare plans available to their constituents. Then maybe they would be motivated to actually fix this mess theyre creating.

Allow me to present a voting member of the ACIP committee who makes decisions for Americans about vaccines.

There have been numerous outbreaks in Amish communities that would controlled by vaccination like a measles outbreak in Ohio in 2014.

Turns out McCullough and the Wellness Company have made $50 million dollars off selling people untested, unproven and unregulated "spike support" supplements. #medsky

For people defending Casey Means - I don't think they understand the very large jump in responsibility from having a safety net of supervisors as a resident to practicing medicine on your own. It really shapes you as a clinician and is a critical step in becoming a doctor.

She then quietly removed it from her website. So I like to think she actually felt the embarrassment at the ACIP meeting.

Remember when she used to do platelets rich plasma injections until I pointed out the level of evidence she demanded for vaccines were not even slightly met by this practice #medsky

I love when the antivaxxers tag everyone in their post for attention. It's like a toddler showing you what they did in the toilet "PRAISE ME!"

Normally its the college but he's sued the CPSA so much they won't do anything. He's selling a prescription substance (ivermectin) directly to patients which can get him in trouble with Health Canada (along with false advertising)

So many issues:

1) "ivermectin clinic" isn't a real thing
2) this doctor is unlicensed and therefore doesn't have a real clinic
3) practicing medicine without a license is illegal
4) ivermectin is ineffective for cancer

An extra dose of MMR vaccine is only recommended for those who got a single dose between 1967-1989 if you are in or travelling to areas with active measles outbreaks. Vinay Prasad has become a rage-baiting antivaccine hack. Can he give any evidenced reason why this recommendation is wrong?

The NIH should do no such thing

1. Vinay directly contributed to "damaging" the brand
2. mRNA cancer vaccines are very promising
3. mRNA vaccines are easy to make and adjust compared to other technology

UCSF should deprioritize THE Prasad's salary

Everytime Sherri Tenpenny posts false information about vaccines in will be here to remind everyone she claimed that COVID vaccines cause "quantum entanglement with your Google credit score"

The problem is - most of these people have moved on to other gifts. Antiparasitics for cancer, "vaccines cause autism" and other nlantivax tropes. Lack of effort to push back likely directly contributed to RFK Jr as HHS secretary

The report I saw claimed the college thought it was no longer an imminent public health threat so they gave up

They also have that Malthouse guy. The CPSM just quietly struck off all the antivaxxers
