Diversity IS merit!

Yes! Great to hear Dr. Redding speak. 😎

Thanks, @divyac.bsky.social !

Any trick on how to secure either (Y or G) Chartreuse?

How do we know vaccines are safe? Are they ever taken off the market?

Short answer: Rigorous, ongoing scrutiny of vaccine safety continues long after clinical trials conclude.

Figure showing 20 highest and 20 lowest paid specialties. The top 20 mostly surgical or adult medicine, the bottom 20 mostly pediatrics. The figure also shows that the top 20 fill close to 99% of their training slots, whereas the bottom 20 only fill 40-60% of their slots.

I wanted to get more data, but people have been asking/commenting, so here goes. (Disclaimers first: I'm no expert, and estimates based on what info I could find online).

First, 20 highest & lowest paid specialties per @doximity.bsky.social. Green=surgical, yellow=adult medicine, blue= #Peds.

More people regret *heart surgery* — a thing they will *die* without — than those who regret HRT and gender-affirming surgeries.

Trump did win. But it was historically close, as it was in 2016. This is what the numbers tell us. Not a “landslide.”

Vaccine rates low. Get your shots now!

Now is the time to get your flu/COVID +/- RSV vaccines. Respiratory season is coming. Protect yourself and others! The literal truth: #vaccinessavelives

This. This is bad. Doubleplus ungood.

Theocracy much?

RFK JR: Trump picks vaccine sceptic Kennedy for health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr has a history of spreading health information scientists say is false.

RFK Jr has said there are no safe vaccines and has actively promoted misinformation regarding them.

Calling him a sceptic of vaccines is like saying Al Qaeda was a sceptic of America.

He's an enemy.

An enemy of vaccines, of science. An enemy of Truth.

ie. A danger

This is beyond terrifying. Measles is a horrible disease. Vaccinate your kids. Make sure you’re vaccinated too.

Unless Black Lives Matter, all lives don’t matter.

If a tree falls on Bluesky, does it make a sound? Maybe someone will read this eventually.🤷‍♂️
