#PedSky appreciation post: Dr. Weyand’s posts are why I now check ferritin/CRP for every anemia screen (w CBC + retic)! I’ve caught so many w single digit ferritin levels even if Hgb is “normal” 😱 It’s also an issue in “picky eaters” even if they’re not menstruating

For most of my life the Republican strategy is to prevent Democrats from doing popular things and they keep getting rewarded for it. At the same time, Democrats keep trying to seek common ground and they are punished. Over and over again. Be kinda nice if some lessons were learned and applied.

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

I’m old enough to remember the catastrophic toll of HIV/AIDS denial by South African President Thabo Mbeki, which led to >300,000 AIDS deaths. I never thought that 20 years later, an HIV/AIDS denialist would be tapped for the helm of health policy in the US. RFK Jr MUST be rejected #WorldAIDSDay

I think pardons to Fauci and Vindemann are both sensible because (1) there is no plausible suggestion they have committed crimes and (2) the Trumpists have explicitly made them the target of planned political persecutions.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

"If you’re a health-care worker who sees a patient in a mask, put one on for them. Don’t make them ask. Don’t psychologize them. Don’t betray the trust they’ve shown you. They’ve put their lives in your hands. Don’t take that for granted, it’s not an easy thing for many of us to do"

FYI: Infectious disease research is more than talking about germs. It’s about antibiotic stewardship and drug allergies. These are massively important public health issues that are not talked about enough.

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

This is a proposed law targeting exactly one person: Incoming trans Congresswoman Sarah McBride of Delaware. Nancy Mace is a transphobic, hateful troll who voted with teen rapist Matt Gaetz to depose her own party’s speaker, but the bathrooms. That’s where she’s focused.

Please consider not watching (or appearing on) Morning Joe ever again. Easy decision for me since I never liked it anyway. Sucking up to a psychopath should be a deal breaker.
