You want to talk about government efficiency? Every $1 spent on childhood immunizations in the US returns a savings of $11, thanks to preventing illnesses, and saving millions of lives.

Hating on “Big Pharma”? Cool, it’s a $1.6 trillion regulated industry. But hang on…the $6.3 trillion wellness industry sells you mushroom tea, dewormers, crash diets, and alkaline water—no regulations, no oversight. But hey, it’s ‘natural,’ right?

5 things I did this week:
1 - admitted someone bc insulin prices went up and it was insulin or rent/food
2 - admitted someone bc a drug was covered in dec but insurance changed in jan and prior authorization still hasn’t gone thru so chronic condition that was well controlled now isn’t

I don’t think non physicians realize how for real physicians, vaccines is a controversy like flat earth or creationism or birds aren’t real
"No true Scotsman" actually holds here
it's hard to really describe how baffling this is, how frustrating its been to see grow and how high the price will be

Vaccines do not cause autism. You’ve almost certainly read that before — but often without a full explanation of how we know it to be true. Here's how we know.

So bad. Such collateral damage with childhood vaccination attitudes, too. I wrote this post about keeping our daughter up to date with Covid vaccines, and it drew lots of angry responses calling me a murderer for giving my kid a CDC/AAP recommended shot:

Why we keep our daughter up to date on Covid vaccines
And why that’s the opposite of malpractice.

(1/?) A quick story about Jimmy Buffett.
I worked at the New Orleans Margaritaville in college, up until I graduated in 2006. It was a good job. Busy, and with generally good tips, especially on festival weekends - and New Orleans has a lot of those.

Places where abortion is becoming outlawed don't need to be mocked by people who are luckier, they need material support & political solidarity.
