'I'm not anti-vax': Experts explain why people who haven't been inoculated against COVID-19 are clarifying their decisions https://t.co/MU4jJsYXwC

And yes, I *am* talking about respected scientists & doctors (& an economist). It’s precisely *because* they’re respected that their BS is so dangerous. If they were just crackpot anti-vaxers, instead of minimizers downplaying risks to kids & families, they’d be dismissed easily.

Your daily reminder that lie detector tests (polygraphy) are pure horseshit and mean nothing. They are done for performance only, and cannot distinguish liars from truth tellers.

Can I get your opinion on this please? @KCKlatt

Low-carb, high-fat diets—including the popular “ketogenic” diet—may not be any more effective at keeping obesity at bay than those that balance calorie intake with energy expenditure, a new #SciencePerspective suggests. https://t.co/xWIe3Ffxsk #WeekendReads

Nutrients are directly or a degree of separation away from every physiological process. Taking that information and then turning it into "X" food with "Y" nutrient supports "Z" is pseudoscience without clarification of the dose response relationship & dietary context. Full stop.

My new piece in @NewYorker. We have untapped testing capacity and ability to grow it further. But we don’t have the systems to connect it to the need. Making that happen is feasible. And in some places I highlight, people are starting to do it. https://t.co/YYldMV7mpg

@KCKlatt You have such beautiful blue eyes.

Just once, I'd love to see a woman running for office not immediately try to soften her image and lead with being nurturing or a mom. Like, "I'm a badass, power-hungry b*tch, and I own that. And no, I'm not telling you what labels I'm wearing, let's talk about the issues first"

Now that any low carb diet is being referred to as #keto I will be launching my new diet plan, 600 kcals/d with 80% coming from added sugars, guaranteed to get the average adult into ketosis.

Monday after a long birthday weekend off and clinging to that Nespresso machine like my life depended on it (it does).

@KCKlatt Where are your wrinkles?

Um, no. What we are doing is protecting patients from ideologues and quacks who discount the increasing body of scientific evidence showing that #Hydroxychloroquine is ineffective against #COVID19.
