There are many stories about “germ theory” and "hygiene hypothesis" based on unfortunate misunderstandings and simplifications.

We do need microbes to be healthy, but you don't have to get sick to be healthy! That's not how it works.

Had to call a friend at midnight last night to come into the hospital to say goodbye to his brother.

Video from SFO last night shows ICE agents restraining & dragging a crying woman away as her child sobs nearby.

Unconfirmed reports are that both she and her daughter are US citizens. #BlueSky #MedSly #LawSky #ICE

Building AnteSum has been a steep learning curve.From basic coding to reading about vector databases (and a bit of ML on the side).
None of this was on the anaesthetic curriculum 🙃

Nearly 500 users on AnteSum 🎉

3 specialty streams live (#anaesthesia, #orthopaedics and #OMFS), over 6,800 indexed so far 😬

Updates landing next month. We're already sketching what comes after: recommendations based on what you've read and audio digests.

OK #medsly I remember someone on medtwitter talking about how their system was starting a program to have their ED and ICU nurses cross train to care for ICU patients in the ED. I feel like it was in Michigan maybe? Does this ring any bells (or does anyone know of a program like this?)

#IDSky #MedSly A huge threat flying under most people radar is this proposal to take civil service protections away from thousands of government scientists. Those protections are critical for those who work so hard to keep us healthy. See #IDSA response. www.hivma.org/globalassets...

The Health and Human Services Secretary, RFK Jr., is a liar. Plain and simple. A liar.

Vaccines are safe and effective. Period. Full Stop.

Another chapter in the new Lysenkoism: scientific research that proves RFKJr a liar cannot be published. The FDA has blocked publication of research that found widely used Covid-19 and shingles vaccines were safe.

Wow. New NBC poll finds 78% support vaccines, including 72% of independents and 67% of Republicans.

As I keep trying to argue, Democrats should polarize the shit out of the vaccine/public health debate. Make people take sides. It will split Republicans and MAGA.
