Trust yourself, not your doctor.
Every individual needs to talk to their doctor before putting a medication into their body.
Which is it? MAHA is talking out of both sides of its mouth when it comes to vaccines.

Overheard someone talking about how germs aren’t real. It’s mucus flowing in your blood that makes you sick. Should I let RFK Jr know about this promising candidate for CDC director?
Denmark becomes first country in the European Union to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis. This is testament to universal health access and a functioning public health system.
The US recorded 4000 cases of congenital syphilis in 2024.

RFK Jr is flying in some emergency chicken soup as speak.
Opioid overdose deaths in the US have fallen dramatically, according to the latest CDC data.
What factors are driving this welcome downturn, and how can it be sustained?
One of the best things I’ve read in a while:
The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Spending a saturday jumping though hoops of yet another journal for fomatting / pettiness /etc. When will the insanity stop?
Below are examples as to why our article had to be returned before advancing:
America’s Real ‘Secretary of War’
As Kennedy and his aides press their case in public, they adopt a persistently antagonistic tone not only toward disease but also toward the medical and scientific establishment.

Anytime you cite Christ in your argument for hate or violence you prove you haven't read the Gospel.
Time to break out the chart
I am once again humbly asking, what is the purpose of restricting citation numbers?
Writers should cite as much as indicated. No more, no less.
Editors can remove citations they deem unneccessary.
Restricting citations leads to under and improperly citing of work.
A stylized letter in the shape of a woman’s torso with dialogue printed inside. The text is a back-and-forth exchange labeled “Voice Over,” “Donald,” and “Jeffrey,” discussing life, enigmas, and friendship. At the bottom, it ends with “A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday—and may every day be another wonderful secret.” Signed “Donald J. Trump” with his signature. A caption below reads: “A photo of the letter, which has been turned over to Congress by the Epstein estate.”
The Wall Street Journal just published the photo of the birthday letter from Trump to Epstein.

For us ID doctors, the CDC has been a rock. Data, guidelines, surveillance, travel advice -- all there, vetted by experts, referenced, reliable. Perfect? No. But watching its dismantling now breaks my heart. Some thoughts: blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-obser...
I worry a great deal about AI's impact on humanity in the long run. But in the short run, chatGPT / other AI has really made many unpleasant parts of life far more efficient / less bad.
i.e. coding, monotonous writing, etc.
OpenEvidence has changed how I find answers for patients daily.
Sorry, I'm sick of myself even as I type these words, but when I hear "we should never have used it for young people" all I see is someone who has never practiced medicine and certainly did not spend 2020 and 2021 watching healthy 30 year-olds get ARDS.
You can't teach U.S. history without "divisive" narratives. Slavery wasn't "unifying." The Japanese incarceration wasn't "unifying." The anti-immigrant Operation Wetback (real name) wasn't "unifying."
It's history's job to tell the truth, not cover up past racism to pave the way for future racism.

Note also that the lawsuit alleges that because race and class are correlated, providing free tuition to lower income students is also racial preference.
They just want a pure aristocracy of inherited wealth

The unfounded, conspiratorial, claims promoting ivermectin pushed by people in power, have serious consequences for patients.
