US politicians should receive the worst healthcare plans available to their constituents. Then maybe they would be motivated to actually fix this mess theyre creating.

Allow me to present a voting member of the ACIP committee who makes decisions for Americans about vaccines.
There have been numerous outbreaks in Amish communities that would controlled by vaccination like a measles outbreak in Ohio in 2014.

For people defending Casey Means - I don't think they understand the very large jump in responsibility from having a safety net of supervisors as a resident to practicing medicine on your own. It really shapes you as a clinician and is a critical step in becoming a doctor.

I love when the antivaxxers tag everyone in their post for attention. It's like a toddler showing you what they did in the toilet "PRAISE ME!"

So many issues:
1) "ivermectin clinic" isn't a real thing
2) this doctor is unlicensed and therefore doesn't have a real clinic
3) practicing medicine without a license is illegal
4) ivermectin is ineffective for cancer

An extra dose of MMR vaccine is only recommended for those who got a single dose between 1967-1989 if you are in or travelling to areas with active measles outbreaks. Vinay Prasad has become a rage-baiting antivaccine hack. Can he give any evidenced reason why this recommendation is wrong?

The NIH should do no such thing
1. Vinay directly contributed to "damaging" the brand
2. mRNA cancer vaccines are very promising
3. mRNA vaccines are easy to make and adjust compared to other technology
UCSF should deprioritize THE Prasad's salary
