Health misinformation had a key role in the election outcome. Pseudoscientific anti-vaxxers (including some doctors) are ascending to gov positions. I discuss how we counter that. @medpagetoday.bsky.social @gfriedman.bsky.social

This could’ve easily been a state of the art review in a high impact journal, and Sergio was kind enough to prepare it for our project. Can’t miss material, with non-invasive correlates coming next week.

Hmm, i fire off emails on my phone all the time. I've never been asked to take an anger management class. Left as an exercise to the reader: can you identify any structural differences that might explain why exactly the same email from Prof Planey and I are perceived in different ways?

This #TedLasso figurine package arrived to my office when I was away, with a heartwarming note from Dr. Kulkarni, a superb PCCM Physician Scientist, now Endowed Chair at UCLA. I feel that’s exactly what we ALL need now - a shot of #Believe. Thank you @drkulkarni.bsky.social & welcome to #BlueSky!!!

If herd immunity via infection works, why did we not eliminate polio in the US until we had a vaccine? Why did we need a vaccine to eradicate smallpox? These and other illnesses have been around for a very long time. They kill & disable. Vaccines are safe, effective, and lifesaving.

Vaccines have eliminated or dramatically reduced countless diseases over hundreds of years. Examples: Smallpox? ERADICATED globally. Polio? 99% eliminated globally. Diphtheria? Nearly 100% eliminated in the US. Measles & mumps? 99% reduced in the US. Vaccines save MILLIONS OF LIVES every year. 1/

Patients and patient advocates: consider visiting your congress representatives offices to advocate for funding for research. The development of new treatments and diagnoses require funding of basic and translational research in academic laboratories.

The other night, I watched a nurse rock a freshly bathed PICU baby to "Good Luck, Babe" while another nurse sang along as they cleaned up the bath gear. Thought you should know these heroes step up and love the child when a parent can't be there.

Still thinking about the fact that the only reason we know about the parasitic worm in RFK Jr’s brain is that he talked, during his divorce hearing, about how it diminished his cognitive capacity as an excuse to pay less alimony. Quite something to see him nominated for head of HHS.

Not only is he an AIDS minimizer, he denies that the HIV virus causes AIDS. (He thinks poppers do, and that Fauci “made up” HIV.) He also thinks wi-fi causes cancer and there are secret chemicals in our water supply nobody will tell you about turning children trans (which he doesn’t think is real).

It's disturbing seeing some medical and public health professionals trying to normalize RFK by saying "we have to meet him halfway." NOPE. RFK is a charlatan who has deliberately spread disinformation that has killed people. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
