Research that matters!!!! 🙃 🍿
Yes. I often get mistaken as an “ally” because of my skin colour.
Eventually I get the opportunity to say “I too am one”.
No it is not factual
Yes they can prevent infection and thus yes can decrease spread. There are good epidemiological studies showing this. No we did not say that only unvaccinated carry and spread the virus.
You are part of the problem.

#Queensland is more or less actively encouraging more state disasters via coal and #gas investment. This means “prepare and repair” will continue to offer investment opportunities.
That be it. Thanks!🙏
You did a very nice summary of the data supporting this on Threads. Any chance you can repeat it here? (Yes saving me the work:).
Consider that this statement is not supported by the evidence = misinformation = the cause of loss of vaccine confidence.
You caused it, own it.
It’s true that vaccine access could be improved but these challenges haven’t significantly worsened over the last 10 years. Vaccine hesitancy has.
The problem is misinformation and public health researchers pretending otherwise is not helping.

The Tyee has spent over half a year trying to figure out how many people are overdosing while they are patients at B.C.’s hospitals, but, “It’s really challenging to pin down a number,” said Dr. Bonnie Henry.
@michellegamage.bsky.social interviewed the provincial health officer to figure out why.
MLAs with both the BC Conservatives and the BC Greens say the NDP’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Amendment Act, 2026, is part of a long-term erosion of access rights and will make it even harder for people trying to get information from the government.
Andrew MacLeod reports.
RFK Jr has chosen an anti-vaxx activist & conspiracy theorist—who has been advocating for COVID vaccines to be removed from the market & who has no expertise at all in vaccines—to review the safety of COVID vaccines 🤦♂️
(And that pony tail alone is disqualifying)

Makary previously claimed leucovorin cured autism based on "incredible stories."
Glad to see FDA staff with integrity are there to control their MAHA bosses.

This is a technical story with stunning strategic implications. It is quite possible the US launched a massive war because Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff lacked the technical expertise to even understand what the Iranians were offering in negotiations. Absolute idiocy.

And so we write to brilliant postgraduate students from Sudan, withdrawing the offers and scholarships they won in open competition with the best in the world. A sad day for the University of Oxford.

Vinay Prasad was a COVID disinformation doctor and MAHA royalty. He still "loves" President Trump.
No one is obligated to care what he has to say or take him seriously ever again.
That, +12 other thoughts on his dismal, failed tenure at the FDA.
My latest.

Measles patients are developing severe complications including life-threatening anemia and liver inflammation. Measles is a life-threatening infection which can be prevented by vaccination.

I love the way these cactus wrens (photographed today) have a safe shelter inside a chollo catcus where they built their elaborate nest.
I remember when my family owned two VCRs and six digital alarm clocks and the entire day was spent trying to reset them.
Reuters confirmed that the elementary school in the Iranian city of Minab was bombed TWICE by the US military, 40 minutes apart.
This was intentional.
They did not "accidentally" drop two bombs 40 mins apart,
Killing 168 children and 14 teachers.
Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet
On to next level: flushing earwax….
You really haven’t lived until you’ve suctioned out a bunch of thick boogers out of a baby’s nose.
Your thoughts moved me to
go dig this out. I had patients quote this letter verbatim as their reasons for not vaccinating.
Yelling at them for being sup is or duped was not the solution.
Very sturdy limb you have chosen 👍
