Just so we are all clear: Charlie was a great man with some great quotes and embraced a culture of love, empathy, and kindness for all, especially those different from him. He would be happy to know that all the people saying naughty words about him are going straight to word jail.

If this guy is in favor of greater access to unproven FDA treatments, maybe he’d be in favor of access to validated, efficacious PH interventions re: vaccines…
Jim O’Neill is a tech investor, former CEO of the Thiel Foundation, and co-founder with Peter Thiel of the Thiel fellowship. He has no direct medical education or experience.
It’s hard to get away from the feeling that they really are trying to kill us.

White House taps top RFK Jr. deputy as acting CDC director
The decision comes a day after Trump fired Susan Monarez, the Senate-confirmed CDC director, prompting a series of resignations of other top officials there.

A government agency bragged about destroying posters protected by the First Amendment.
ICE just posted this video taking down the sign in Mount Pleasant on Twitter.

Is that…. dean Cain? #iykyk #johnmulaney
Speaking as a 56-year-old man I think you’re going to have problems swelling the ranks of ICE with 59-year-old men. Like I can probably leap out of a panel van in a Nazi suit to chase brown people in a Home Depot parking lot ONCE before my knees are going to give out and I’m on medical leave
Bro, they lifted the age requirements so Dean Cain could land work.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

By SCOTUS's logic, a law banning all treatments for erectile dysfunction would not discriminate on the basis of sex so long as it was applied to everyone.
Roberts writes for the conservative supermajority to uphold Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors. He says the law does not discriminate on the basis of sex OR transgender status, and says this issue must be left to the democratic process. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Is Lee Greenwood okay? Are they feeding him? Do they just store him in a White House janitor’s closet?
Trump awkwardly stands in silence after his speech and then the presentation cuts to a Lockheed promo before Lee Greenwood comes out to sing Trump's favorite song

Also Robert Malone was a middle author on a seminal mRNA vaccine paper in the 90s. That doesn’t make him a creator of the technology.

fantastic investigator thread about delving deeper into the BALANCE trial (7 vs 14 day antibiotics for bacteremia) to look for heterogeneity of treatment effect 😁

Excited to share our newest paper from my PhD: a post-hoc analysis of the BALANCE trial where we explored heterogeneity of treatment effect (HTE) in duration of antibiotic treatment for patients with bloodstream infection. A thread:

The members of ACIP were appointed by Biden. They were eminently qualified experts on vaccines.
So of course, RFK Jr. had to get rid of them to clear the path for his vaccine disinformation campaign, while claiming it will “rebuild trust” to replace members with anti-vaxxers.
He is DISGUSTING.

This is also why the GOP didn’t call a special session to fill the Texas 18th district after Jackson-Brown died. They knew this was going to marginally pass.
At the center of the sweeping bill is trillions in tax cuts, which Republicans aim to partially offset through changes to safety net programs like Medicaid and SNAP.

Knicks learning not to play with your food or underestimate this Pacers team. Again, I have no idea why NBA fans are surprised. They just didn't pay attention to them the entire year. Scary team.
