Fellow #healthcare providers 📣: How many of you are spending wayyyyy more time with patients lending a sympathetic ear re: the state of the world, particularly our country & impact of present administration 🙋🏼‍♀️ People are really struggling. #medsky #medicine #publichealth

The current administration is responsible for this and all the subsequent morbidity and mortality #MedSky #publichealth

I love you Larry David Bill Maher, not so much www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/o...

He wants to give a baby bonus of $5k when “a middle-income family of four is expected to pay $233,610 per child from birth to age 18. This number jumps to $310,605 when calculated using an adjusted inflation rate for 2022” ifstudies.org/blog/the-tru...

1/2 Pt today wanted me to refill her compounded tirzepatide (prescribed by another Dr.) I told her they aren’t supposed to do that after FDA ruling. She wanted me to call pharmacy so I did. Pharmacist said she can still get it but I would need to choose glycine or niacinamide to the tirzepatide

The Signal debacle is what happens when you hire people for high level positions who look the part, but don’t have the experience, who talk the talk, but can’t walk the walk. We have & will continue to see this play out in our healthcare system to the detriment of people’s lives #medsky #sciencesky

Another great read from @drjengunter.bsky.social reviewing the continued disinformation spewed by Goop and Gwyneth Paltrow this time re: her defense of raw milk consumption #medsky #publichealth #nutrition open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

Again, vaccines saving lives. #medsky #vaccines

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

So much winning!

@drjengunter.bsky.social ‘s terrific new article on substack re: facts about “bioidentical” hormones & why you should save $$ & skip compounded hormones in favor of FDA approved options for menopausal hormones. This includes hormone pellets #medsky #menopause vajenda.substack.com/p/misinforma...

This might seem like it impacts only the students at o e program at one school. But make no mistake, this should be horrifying to anyone in medicine/science. This is only the beginning. #medsky #sciencesky

MAHA stands for making kids sicker

Same. However these same parents are now full on MAGA boomers. Would they have still given their 3 children vaccines now? #vaccines #medsky

These things are already happening and you do not know until you need the medical care. #medsky

Am I literally the only person in the world who can’t wear white without getting some sort of shmutz on themself? #menopausesky #menopause

This is so sad in so many ways. This child didn’t have to die. What is more contagious than viruses is medical misinformation. Fact: vaccination saves lives #vaccines

We are in this together, and together we are stronger.

No. Diet & supplements do not protect against measles Vaccination does And now the new HHS/NIH is cutting >40 grants studying vaccine hesitancy The best way to spread misinformation is to ignore facts & interfere w/ research #medsky #sciencesky #vaccines www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/h...

Be careful of who you choose to believe. Your life may literally depend on it.

2 new studies re: menopausal hormone therapy & Alzheimers risk. Many say MHT prevents Alz & cog decline, this study confirms what guidelines: safe in younger women, but may be causative in older, here >70. Early menopause also confers inc risk #medsky #menopause www.medpagetoday.com/neurology/al...

Does anyone remember Robert Smigel’s @saturdaynightlive.bsky.social cartoon, The Ex-Presidents of United States? Gist is they would come in & solve crimes & help US citizens with their “super powers”. My question is: where are the current ex-presidents? Why aren’t they helping us? #comics

Sadly, even just this news interferes w/ veteran healthcare HCPs & staff, many of whom are vets like my VAMC dept chief husband, are understandably worried about their jobs & how these cuts will kneecap their ability to provide care👇👇👇 #medsky #veterans #heathcare apnews.com/article/vete...

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Where do I get my make America goth again hat? Preferably a place that gies to a good cause? #makeamericagothagain

Shocking how many people love to speak w/such authority on things they know nothing about. More & more thing they know nothing & yet feel free to spread lies about is medicine. I was going to comment that he hasn’t even played a doctor before, but, alas… 👇👇👇 MedSky

This is embarrassing. I am ashamed at our country and its “leaders”.

Yep. Vaccines to the rescue again. For the vaccinated. Remember you can still get the Gardasil HPV vaccine up to age 45. It also protects against heads and neck and anal cancer too. MedSky ScienceSky #vaccines #cancer www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

Another day, another call to @repdavid : Those of us with underlying conditions like #autoimmune & #immunodeficiency deserve the right to get updated flu & covid vaccines in the fall. Period. Politics have no place in medicine. MedSky #vaccination

We w/underlying conditions have most to lose from this. Every new flu/Covid infxn inc my chance of further lung damage. If you’ll be impacted by not receiving updated flu/covid vax in fall call congressperson & say politics has no place in medicine #chronicillness #longcovid #autoimmune MedSky
