Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), begins in early brain development, typically before birth. There is no connection between vaccines and autism! #autism #AutismAwareness

Measles cases are rising. 20% of kids will be hospitalized. Vaccine is the most effective way to protection. Just one dose is over 90% effective. #measles @omarjimenez.bsky.social

Tomorrow, the day after losing an hour of sleep due to #DaylightSavings, there will be a 25% increase in heart attacks and strokes. @omarjimenez.bsky.social

I'll be on tomorrow with @omarjimenez.bsky.social on CNN at the 6 am hour EST. Do you know heart attacks & strokes go up by 25% the Monday following the #DaylightSavingTime reset? Join us for more!

Pope Francis has been diagnosed with double pneumonia. His age and risk factors puts him in a very delicate situation. #popefrancis @johnberman1.bsky.social

Measles's cases are rising in the unvaccinated in West Texas. 13 people have been hospitalized.
This well-known vaccine against measles is very highly effective and safe btw. #measles

Should you take a baby aspirin daily to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke? #aspirin

Is it too late to get the flu vaccine?
A new deadly virus has been discovered on the shores of North America. How concerned should we be?

Making America healthy again should not come at the expense of creating vaccine hesitancy. We need both - making America healthy & someone who believes in vaccines! It’s not either, or. It’s both! @philmattingly.bsky.social @drsanjaygupta.bsky.social #RFK

The flu vaccine does NOT transmit the flu! This is a myth.

Here is another reason to control your blood pressure. High blood pressures can damage the vessels in your brain increasing one’s risk of #dementia. #bloodpressure

Walk or run up the hills of #Montmarte, Paris & get lost in the narrow alleys & pretty cafes!

This is a golden rule! And it can salvage and maintain a lot of friendships.

Emergency rooms all across the United States are being hit by a snowstorm of #Covid, #RSV, #Flu & #Norovirus.
Here's how to stay safe this winter season.

Perhaps #Birdflu doesn't become a pandemic.That would be ideal. But what if it does? We should be getting thousands of rapid tests to farm workers & get FDA to approve an already existing vaccine! Why wait? Prepare now.
On w/ MarniHughes at the 9am hr EST to talk more.

The demand for weight loss drugs like #Ozempic will continue to sky rocket in 2025. @lauraingle.bsky.social

I'll be on News Nation around the 4 pm hour EST w/@lauraingle to talk about the #Ozempic story & how it's helping my patients at risk of sudden cardiac death & strokes. But it's not for everyone & it shouldn't be. #rfkjr #droz

40 % of adults & 20 % of children in the US are obese. While I 100 % agree w/ #RFK about eating healthy, how realistic is this? Morbid obesity can result in sudden death, stroke & heart disease. #Ozempic does work & can be life saving. It's about being realistic vs idealistic.
Republicans are torn over expanding federal coverage for weight-loss drugs like Ozempic. Dr. Oz, Trump's CMS nominee, promotes the drug, while RFK Jr., HHS pick, opposes it.

#Birdflu is a flu like illness. We must stay vigilant. Aggressive genomic sequencing of this virus is key.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all of you. Thanks for the follow. Be healthy & don’t take life too seriously. Have some fun!

President Clinton has been admitted with a fever. In an older male & at this time of the year, this is what I would rule out immediately.
1. Prostate infection
2. UTI
3.Covid
5. Flu
6.Hidden occult infection -
Order a CT abdomen/pelvis
Blood work - Urine,white count & electrolytes.

A little is ok. More is harmful.

The US is making a comeback. Our life expectancy is hitting a rebound due to a drastic reduction in Covid deaths and a decrease in drug overdose amongst younger populations! #lifeexpectancy
