Alright let's clear this up. New vaccines *are* tested against placebo (a dummy treatment). If a good vaccine already exists, a new version of it is tested against the old vaccine and not a placebo because it would be unethical to let people get the infection. Got that? Good

For those wondering why a simple doctor’s visit takes so long… Or why medical offices can seem so inefficient… Here’s the journey of a single patient chart… and remember only 1/3 of the quality metrics have any clinical relevance… before we’ve even had a chance to talk

Everything costs more now, but doctors can’t raise their prices and haven’t had a raise since early 1990s. Our staffs all want double what they did in 2019 and rents have doubled. This has all been engineered to crush average Americans. Factor in interest rates and mortgages from

RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. Fox News might not fact-check him, but I will. I've reviewed the trials. I've catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵

It’s not that ā€œroot causesā€ are completely irrational to discuss. But also telling people they ate too much, didn’t exercise enough, slept like crap, destroyed their circadian biology, and probably used alcohol, THC, adderal, oxys, or sleeping pills. Build a time machine.
