3rd: he argues for acknowledging different tactics used to calculate excess deaths. Why didn't he take actual hospitalization data into account when expressing the true severity of COVID such as peak April 2020 numbers? www.gov.uk/government/p....
2nd: Heneghan advocated to live with COVID in 2020 (quoted in screnshot) without advocating for correct mask use and getting as many people vaccinated as possible. This would have caused very significant waves, stressing an already very hard situation with the NHS.
Let’s hear any excuses explaining why hurting neurological research in the US is a good thing?
Trump is attempting to censor the BBC through legal threats and so now their journalists may not use certain quotes. Let’s all spread the word for them in their stead . He can’t sue everyone.
All this, to bend the knee to Trump. Even worse, the new boss in town at the AMA, John Whyte, is holistic-woo adjacent and may be helping MAHA to eventually control the AMA (playing the long game).
2. On background, an anonymous current AMA member informed me that criticism of Oz will be silenced multiple ways: - if you bring a poster to protest Oz, you may be subject to removal by police - if you attempt to protest, you will be expelled from the AMA, and will be required to report this
@kylegriffin1.bsky.social the @ama-assn.org has caved to Trump. They invited known grifter Dr Mehmet Oz to give a speech, but, the AMA board/ John Whyte decided to censor all delegates in the following way. 1. Questions can be asked, but all must be vetted.
Prosecute all who do this. The most basic rule of gun ownership is to not point it at anything you don’t intend to destroy. ICE was engaging in intimidation. Document them all and prosecute them all.
The conservative physician organization Independent Medical Alliance, formerly the FLCCC, worked overtime to ensure this outcome. sciencebasedmedicine.org/repurposed-t...
When they complain that mainstream medicine just wants to make money and doesn't care about the actual medical problems going on... Show them this. Always follow the money even when it is holistic money ;)
Jay Bhattacharya has been confirmed as NIH head. Watch him use all the disingenuous tactics he used to fight COVID messaging, as NIH boss. frankhan.online/2025/01/06/j... I would love for my predictions to be proven wrong - but this is the man Americans just confirmed to run the NIH.
The Trump CDC has now specifically gone out of their way to hire an antivaxxer to show that vaccines cause autism (spoiler alert, no they don’t). RFK Jr was never going to stray from his antivax roots.
Has anyone else tried to, or heard of an acquaintance, being denied US border entry for critical social media posts? This is Iranian secret police level stuff.
An aspiring US politician is openly calling for the extrajudicial execution of people that she doesn’t agree with, responding to the vice president.
What guys like this won't tell you is that they worked as hard as possible to create the distrust in public health. They own the antivax movement in part, because they did everything in their power to support it.
America now engages in arbitrary detention and deportation of physicians with valid H1B visas. America is fast becoming somewhere no longer safe to work for immigrant physicians hoping to set up a new life.
Soldiers at D-day were at risk of being killed. Big difference. This is @ucsfhealth.bsky.social
The cost of measles outbreaks in USD: (www.idsociety.org/science-spea...): Median total cost per outbreak: $152,308 (range, $9,862-$1,063,936); Median cost per case: $32,805 (range, $7,396-$76,154); Median cost per contact: $223 (range, $81-$746); Approximate cost per day of investigation: $4,000.
The US government is actively antivax now. A possible charitable interpretation of this is that researching vaccine hesitancy is no longer a priority. Please be very careful of American vaccine recommendations if they are different from what is customary in your country.
@seckennedy.bsky.social was always going to find a way to enforce his antivax views against the American public. Here it is. This is explicitly antivax.
This is a message about the vaccine preventable disease mumps, from the Immunize Kansas coalition:
