Hi! I specialize in medication toxicity. All available, real-world data has proven mifepristone is actually even safer than many over the counter medicines. Mortality rates: Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000 Penicillin 2/100K Viagra 4/100K Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)

The "Big Bill" (H.R.1) would raise the uninsured by nearly 60% in the next ten years, wiping out most of the gains since the ACA timothymcbride.substack.com/p/the-big-bi...

RFK Jr. wants to eliminate as many vaccines as he can. Don’t believe him when he claims otherwise and says he just wants better science and safer vaccines He’s lying. His endgame is, for all practical purposes, to eliminate access to vaccines. thehill.com/policy/healt...

Thank you, AAP, for protecting our children. When this Administration puts our patients at risk, physicians have a duty to prevent harm.

After my post on vaccinating my children when they were babies, I got asked to have ‘nuanced’ convos with antivaxxers. No. I’m not platforming lies that led to the drop in vaccines, sick children with lifelong impacts and dead children. Vaccines save lives and protect health. Period.

Everyone involved in trying to pass off that ChatGPT-extruded disinformation manifesto as a scientific report should be, at the very least, barred from public office for life. The MAHA report is dangerous criminal misconduct and an offence to the process of science.

"Scientific research over the past 30 years has revealed a patchwork of potential causes of autism. Most of them are genetic—the condition is between 60 and 90 percent heritable—and some involve nongenetic risk factors ....during pregnancy." www.scientificamerican.com/article/rfk-...

The usual straw man antics. No physician “just throws insulin” at people. Educating patients about diet and exercise is step one. Is this administration actually going to make healthy food more accessible and affordable? I doubt it.

The evidence is clear. MMR vaccines do not cause autism.: www.uchealth.org/today/mmr-va...

Our medical establishment, Prasad and Makary, issued what amounts to a viral mandate. They reject bodily autonomy and medical freedom. If I can’t get a vaccine and get really sick next year, I know who to blame. So do you. My latest. sciencebasedmedicine.org/viralmandate/

Broken coffee carafe? You bet Anesthesia can fix it.

What Vinay Prasad is proposing is scientific misconduct that would violate legally-mandated institutional review board review in the United States. He has never conducted a randomized control trial. He is not a scientist. He is a fraud. They are mandating this to block approval, not encourage study

This is malpractice.

In 2023, the U.S. spent approximately $1.35 trillion on healthcare administration. That’s more than we spent on: •Physician salaries (~$350B) •Nursing salaries (~$335B) •Retail prescription drugs (~$450B) •Imaging, lab tests, EHRs, and outpatient procedures combined #BlueSky #MedSky #NurseSky

What’s your dancing style?

RFK Jr, Secretary of HHS: "I don't think that people should take medical advice from me".

Former Surgeon General Dr. Rich Carmona just published a piece in @thehill.com describing the myriad reasons that Trump nominee Dr. Casey Means is unfit to be Surgeon General. I agree with every word. 🔥 thehill.com/opinion/heal...

Well, it's a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as the Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows.

I will say this yet again There has not been an administration more filled with snake oil salespeople than this one This woman never completed a medical residency www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

1. 55 years ago today, U.S. soldiers with the Ohio National Guard shot and killed 4 students at Kent State University - Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Lee Scheuer, and William Schroeder - and wounded 9 others, during a protest against the war in Southeast Asia. Take a moment tonight to...

Vaccines do not contain any fetal tissue or cells, nor do they contain any cells derived from fetal materials.

Let me help you "do your own research" on vaccines. I spend an unhealthy amount of time in cemeteries all over the world (they are often atop or on ancient sites in part). Pre 1920-1950s, they are FULL of small children. Post, there but rare. I wonder what happened from the 20s-50s?
