@yeahnaa333 @NostraDavus2 Not nearly as active on here as @drbrignall, but I’m also a provax ND. @DrDadSays also a worthwhile follow.

@AtomsksSanakan @ID_Denmark @kevinault @gorskon @Michigan_Noah Here’s a more up-to-date graph:

Still doesnt look good for anyone claiming kids don’t need to be vaccinated against COVID-19 considering more kids die in US from COVID-19 than all other pediatric diseases for which we currently vaccinate combined

That position is irreconcilable

@DrDadSays Per the clinical pharm team at my shop, the g amount is required to let the ins co know how long the topical “should last”. I default to “apply 0.5g to affected skin” add how often, and then counsel pt directly on how to use it. I like the FTU chart here: https://t.co/tzeilDi07k

[Viki Male @VikiLovesFACS]

@VigilantFox @doctorcole A peer-reviewed study of 48 placentas collected after vaccination finds no spike protein or mRNA and vaccination is not associated with any placental pathology. This is in line with the placentas I’m seeing, which look normal.

Meanwhile, Ryan has… a box.

@schadhayes Immunologists when they learn about this “solution”.

[Max Cohen @MaxwellCohenND]

@PlantaeP @drbrignall I can count about a dozen, including myself. And more who are doing similar “conventional” style work but not at a FQHC site. Re: cost vs earning potential of the degree - none of the FQHCs I am aware of are paying their NDs at rates above mid-level clinicians.

@DrDadSays @sarit_yael Unfortunately I’m not sure which local offices will continue to require masking after the mandate officially ends. Can ask around and will reply to the thread if I get any leads.

[Matt Brignall @drbrignall]

The usual nudniks have a new talking point this week: masks don't work, and the public health establishment lied to you about this so you shouldn't ever trust them.
This, of course, is deeply stupid. Here's why: (/thread)

@drbrignall At my current rate of learning 1.2 guitar songs per year, this seems like an excessive flex, man. I’ve been working on the picking for “I’ll Be Here in the Morning” since 2020.

@drbrignall Get sick so you won’t get sick? If I chop off my feet then I won’t need shoes, either.

[Matt Brignall @drbrignall]

The primary marketing trick of high-end CAM grifter doctors is to flood the zone with denigration of the status quo, then dazzle with factoids that are cherry picked from small studies.
That person will charge you a lot, but won't pick up the phone when shit hits the fan.

[Health Nerd @GidMK]

At this point, the prevalence of past COVID-19 infection in most populations is well above 80%

Therefore most health issues people experience will happen after a COVID-19 infection

This does not mean they were caused by COVID-19

[Boost Oregon @BoostOregon]

A new CDC-funded study published on 9/26/22 found an association between aluminum exposure from vaccines and asthma. Read our latest blog post by Ryan Hassan, M.D., M.P.H. to learn what that means for parents making vaccine decisions for their children. https://t.co/cWXyyxf9Bv

[Matt Brignall @drbrignall]

ICYMI: The FDA rescinded EUA for booster doses of Pfizer/Moderna for the 12 and ups pending release of bivalent vaccines. I didn't see that coming.

[Max Cohen @MaxwellCohenND]

@naturoheretic @PlantaeP The 80%? It was on a stats sheet outside the college’s career office (circa 2011), but I’ve never been able to track down a solid data source for it.

[Max Cohen @MaxwellCohenND]

@PlantaeP I often see income estimates skewed by reporting average instead of median. Average value gets pulled up due to some extremely high outliers. In 2011 I was told around 80% of grads were not practicing clinically after 5 years. Easy to see why with these figures.

[Max Cohen @MaxwellCohenND]

@Amal4Solutions @DrDadSays I have one of these, and it seems VERY sensitive to breath. I had to calibrate it but after that it showed stable readings in the environments I tested it in. Curious how it would compare with an Aranet.

[Edward Nirenberg 🇺🇦 @ENirenberg]

A common tactic of science denialists is to misrepresent controversy. VRBPAC and ACIP voted *unanimously* to recommend Pfizer and Moderna for under 5 children, and CDC and FDA approved. Vaccinating children under 5 against COVID is about as uncontroversial as things can be.

[Max Cohen @MaxwellCohenND]

@drbrignall @ENirenberg Apparently the strategic national stockpile has enough vaccinia imms for everyone in the country. So we’ve got that going for us. Not clear how much of that stock is Jynneos one that is approved for monkeypox. https://t.co/hxpOLUulou
