Antibiotics aren’t ‘strong’ or ‘weak’. They are:

- Indicated or not indicated
- Broad or narrow spectrum
- Dosed correctly or incorrectly

What matters is effectiveness, not ‘strength’... https://t.co/5AP31tvG44

What‘s something that seems obvious within your profession, but the general public seems to misunderstand?

Haven’t posted for quite some time, but hoping to start again soon.

Adding Bluesky account, but plan on using ‘ex’-Twitter still too.

Despite all the challenges (& harshness), these sites remain great places to make valuable connections.

Hope to see some of you there too!😃🤝

Francesca Albanese has asked me for evidence of her hate speech.

Very well, let's break this down. 🧵

Shani Louk (22) just wanted to dance.

She was brutally murdered a year ago today at the Nova Music Festival, her body desecrated and paraded through the streets of Gaza.

Today on October 7, we ask you to join us in honoring the memory of the victims of the Hamas Massacre.

Share their stories and photos, and help keep their memory alive by using #RememberOctober7.

May the victims' memories forever be a blessing.

Had a bit of an accident at home & the food I was cooking caught fire! 😬

Thankfully, I chose to pursue alternative options, & called a naturopathic firefighter!👍

They threw essential oils all over the stove, & even warned me about all the risks of using smoke detectors...🤗😃

Jewish women softball players are not responsible for the decisions of the State of Israel.

The Jewish families who came to see them play are not a valid target of your protest.

I didn't need to see the swastika on their sign to know that this is not about Palestine.

246 days ago, Hamas shot and murdered Maayan Idan (18) in her home, while she held the door, doing her best to survive.

Maayan will forever stay 18.💔

Each time there is a Free Palestine protest in the world, we hear violent slogans such as:

- "There is only one solution: Intifada revolution"
- "Israel murderer"
- "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free"
- "Resistance is justified"
- "By any means necessary"
- "Sinwar we will not let you die"
- "Send the Jews back to Poland".

It saddens me that we never hear people asking for Egypt to open its border to Gazan refugees, Hamas to release the hostages, or to stop stealing humanitarian aid.

It was never about wanting peace and protecting civilians but rather about having a pretext to spew hatred toward Jews.

I don't think it's discussed enough how a whole form of cancer was wiped out by vaccinating against HPV - a virus.

A member of the Norwegian Eurovision jury admitted to breaking Eurovision's rule to stay non-political by holding the war in Gaza against Eden Golan in voting.

This confession raises the question of how many other jurors judged Eden based on political agendas rather than artistic integrity.

EBU should take action.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

This is Hamas beating Palestinians for trying to access humanitarian aid.

I can’t say it enough: Palestinians are starving BECAUSE of Hamas.

Hamas said from the beginning that they don’t care about civilians and that the aid is only for them.

Why won’t you believe them?

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

The public vote for the different countries in #Eurovision2024 is so telling.

There aren’t enough Jews in these countries to vote for Israel. This is a strong message that the people had enough of the hateful campaign against Israel.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

This sweet girl #EdenGolan in tears after finishing her #Eurovision2024 performance.

Can’t imagine what she is going through facing all this hate, what a queen.

Vote 06 💜🇮🇱

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Hamas and Hezbollah have fired rockets at Israel all day, and people still think it’s unreasonable for Eden Golan to sing about the trauma of her people?

Hurricane is a powerful expression of Israelis' grief, trauma, resilience, and inner strength in the face of adversity.

Our pain is not political. And Eden represents that beautifully.

@DrJaimeFriedman @Dr_RShatsky I’m so sorry for your loss!

We went to London’s recent anti-Israel march to once again interview attendees.

This time, there was too much footage to put in one video.

So we made three. Here is the first.

The following footage was all filmed on 13th January.

Mobs aren’t attacking local Jewish centers because they want to protest Israel.

They are protesting Israel because they want an excuse to attack local Jewish centers.

Thread: The Girls I Met in the Tunnels
Seventeen-year-old Agam Goldstein-Almog saw Hamas murder her father and sister. Then she was taken to Gaza.

These are excerpts of her words on her experiences as a hostage of Hamas.

1. Together with my two young brothers, aged nine and eleven, the four of us had been taken from our home in Kibbutz Kfar Aza on the morning of October 7, but not before terrorists shot my father, Nadav, point blank, and afterward went after my older sister, Yam, the bullet tearing through her face. Their blood spattered everywhere. We stepped over my father’s dying body as the terrorists screamed at us, took us out of our home, and drove us into Gaza.

With measles on the uptick despite the availability of a highly effective vaccine, it's worth reflecting on Roald Dahl's account of the final day of his 7-year-old daughter's life.
