“The US midterms brought victories for doctors and scientists, but electoral success is not the same as restored public trust.”

They’re calling it the least self-aware sentence ever written.

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

"Electoral victories for health professionals do not necessarily mean that public trust has been restored."

Public health must not return to business as usual after the US midterms

Nearly half of those sent the survey didn’t respond.

Nearly 97 percent of transgender people who received hormone therapy as teenagers did not regret it five years later, a study found.

Though some patients did regret medically transitioning, those rates are relatively low compared to other medical interventions. https://t.co/YbUUIyWEBo

Who has a Ken Bone–John Rocker feud on their 2026 bingo card? This feels like the result of some horribly misworded monkey’s paw wish, but I’m here for it.

1. The applicants aren’t reporting because they’re afraid of being penalized for being white or especially Asian
2. The colleges can infer why they aren’t reporting
3. We clearly still have a long way to go to get to race-neutral admissions.

[The Chronicle of Higher Education @chronicle]

A 14 percent rise in applicants selecting “race unknown” is raising a difficult question for colleges: After the end of race-conscious admissions, how much trust have students lost in the process? https://t.co/IQz2S3Kfyr

“‘I believe social determinants of health are to the 21st century what germ theory was to the 20th century,’ Burke Harris said during a discussion with fellow plenary speaker Joel Bervell, MD.”

They’re warning us.

“The future of medicine will not be determined by a single breakthrough or individual policies. It's determined every single day, by each and every one of us.” —@joelbervell on the power each person has to shape academic medicine during #AAMC26. https://t.co/NJ8g3RrAto

[Ian Kingsbury @PeerReReview]

The hope is that voters view doctors as uniquely wise and deferential to "evidence." The social determinants of health framework (i.e. all policy is health policy) makes docs experts in everything and positions them as the best vehicle for progressive, technocratic control.

I have a feeling that many people are soon going to familiarize themselves with the ideology-driven and often substandard research agenda that is "health equity", "Social determinants of health", "social epidemiology", "health policy," and the like. Fun times ahead!

This is really quite the indictment of the state of academic publishing. His "scholarship" that advocates for Arab separatism is outrageously bad.

Newly elected Senator Abdul El-Sayed has an H-Index of 37. This makes me inordinately happy. Expertise matter. Science matters. Facts matter. Rationality is a magic power -- @AbdulElSayed

Most studies find that union membership has null or modest health benefits. Undeterred, these “researchers” decide that unions remain crucial for health justice.

Senior officials with the American Psychological Association repeatedly dismissed concerns from Jewish psychologists about the organization’s handling of antisemitism-related complaints following Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israel, a new House report found.

[…]

The report states that [then–senior director of strategic communications and public affairs Kim] Mills responded to criticisms from the medical advocacy group Do No Harm last spring about antisemitism at the APA by writing in an internal message that, “I wonder if the Jews who are so angry at us know they are now feeding hatred from this horrible group.’”

NEW: Ilhan Omar's ex-husband & alleged brother identifies as a "gay man."

In Somali custom, her ex-husband's name shows he's the son of NUR SAID. Per DOJ, Omar's name shows she's the daughter of NUR SAID. Omar's father went by NUR SAID online.
