Oh no @edwards_lynnie and @Jo_PHMed 🥺

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

Candida auris, a multi-drug resistant fungal infection, is spreading rapidly in US healthcare facilities, a study from @CDCgov has found.

The public health agency said that C auris was an emerging fungus that is a serious global health threat

Junior Doctors' Strike, Day 2

Nature is healing.
With their natural predator, the med reg, at bay, pigeons once again are free to roam NHS wards.

Incredibly successful vaccine that has had a huge impact on cervical cancer rates. #VaccinesWork

[NHS London @NHSEnglandLDN]

The HPV vaccine has been shown to reduce cervical cancer rates by almost 90% for women in their 20s who were vaccinated as teenagers.

If your teen missed the vaccine in school, they can have it for free on the NHS up until their 25th birthday. https://t.co/dJoZqRJaSz

[Alastair McAlpine, MD @AlastairMcA30]

Wanna know what happened to the disgraced doctor who falsely claimed the MMR vax causes autism?
Who subjected children to unethically invasive procedures (colonoscopies, lumbar punctures)?
Who falsified the results to suit his agenda?

He lives in a mansion and dated a supermodel

[UK Covid Vaccine Research Hub @UKCovidVaxHub]

Risk of heart problems decreases with successive COVID-19 vaccine doses.💉🫀

A team from @imperialcollege @Cambridge_Uni @EdinburghUni @SwanseaUni and @HDR_UK finds risk of heart problems lower among vaccinated, and lowest among boosted.

@CressidaCowell My daughter Mabel is most put out that she didn’t know there was a theme park with an HTTYD island and themed rooms! Guess what is on this years holiday wish list! Entry already in for the competition 😉

@timspector I’ve been saying this about vegan food for a while. So many ingredients. Is this really healthier than a carnivorous diet??

[Tim Spector MD (Prof) @timspector]

Ultra processed foods assoc w increased risk of most cancers after 10 years finds a large longitudinal observational study of 200k UK biobank subjects. The data keeps mounting but we remain complacent... despite UK having highest rates of UPF in Europe https://t.co/xnTVr6uC6J

Wish I could earn that from some underlining on YouTube 🤔

[John Bye @_johnbye]

Former nurse John Campbell's descent into covid crankery has proven very profitable. Company accounts for the year to June 2022 show he had over £1m cash in hand, with net assets of £800,000, up from just £150,000 a year earlier!

Not bad for a year of underlining things. 🙄

[Emily Ashdown @Baxterem]

@edwards_lynnie @Jo_PHMed interesting thread

[Viki Male @VikiLovesFACS]

Social scientists! I am seeing some news stories suggesting that COVID vaccine misinformation is now leading parents to decline other childhood immunisations. Is there any academic research in this area?

[Emily Ashdown @Baxterem]

@CMOCymru @WelshBlood Last week 😀

[Dr Teresa Kelly @ztkelly]

Now this is the best thing I’ve seen on Twitter ever!

[Dr Matt Kneale (🦋drmk.link) @drmattuk]

At least Andrew Wakefield didn't have social media to push his MMR/Autism lies. Yet people were seriously harmed by his actions. He was struck off by @gmcuk.

One cardiologist has been given a dangerous platform to lie to the masses — people are being harmed. The GMC is silent.
