@Shankar47322027 @DrCatharineY You can’t invoke point 5 to praise defense breakthroughs while using points 1–4 to condemn biomed, because the same framework either validates both or condemns both.

@DrCatharineY Hope it gets voted reptile of the year. Wait… apparently some humans have insisted they be considered first.

@DrCatharineY To quote Paul Krugman “the kakistocracy is also a quackistocracy”, need one say more.

@DrCatharineY Good analogy, however the panic wouldn’t have been from mathematicians or professionals, it’s teaching that takes the hit because you have to adjust how you assess proficiency, e.g. what is important about learning the fundamentals of arithmetic vs being able to just compute.

@LiveUthing @DrCatharineY By that logic, I assume you find seat belts and traffic lights offensive, too? Mandates aren't about your 'intelligence'; they’re about minimizing a preventable healthcare crisis. You’ve survived the raw milk roulette for 60 years—congrats on the luck 🍀

@DrCatharineY Is it the US or is it a small group of Dunning -Kruger government ideologues that are destroying a deep and fragile technical pipeline that extends years into the future?

@HomanNews Imagine being 79 and needing a map just to find the country you're currently trying to annex. He’s currently the 'Acting President' of a country he doesn't live in (Venezuela) and the 'Wannabe Owner' of a country he can't even name correctly—he’s just a confused senior citizen 😂

@DrCatharineY It’s a tragic betrayal of trust, a moral failure of leadership. Previous policies were a shield for the vulnerable, built from hard-won lessons. As Santayana warned, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Now, children pay the price.

@DrCatharineY Technically speaking the vaccines still work, it’s a health policy that no longer makes effective use of the tools and expertise at its disposal.

@jimpfaff @DrCatharineY So you are aware that your first post was wrong then. Sounds like an apology for calling the OP stupid might be in order 🤨

[David Clark @bluedot]

@DrCatharineY Hope there were some good debates on the potential disconnect between leadership effectiveness - which Trump arguably possesses, and leadership virtue implied by bipartisan celebration. Seems more of the latter is needed these days 😅

[David Clark @bluedot]

@DrCatharineY @TheSGEM @DrJenGunter The US government leadership is using two old strategies in almost every debate, ad hominem attacks (Pam Bondi’s recent senate hearing is an outstanding example) and appeals to irrelevant authorities. Allowing these to be used unchecked is very dangerous.

@EBurdine @DrCatharineY @LinsanityStrong @tyillc What an ignorant nasty response Elizabeth. Vaccinated people typically have milder symptoms. Still a win against the war on disease, thanks medical researchers 🔬 🙌

[David Clark @bluedot]

@DrCatharineY The ‘again’ seems overly optimistic about history 😅 Happy to just get it right once 🙌

[David Clark @bluedot]

@DrCatharineY Absolutely, isn’t the whole point of the role to protect the community with expert medical advice. Next he’ll be saying he can’t advise against smoking and drinking for kids because who is he to say what parents can give their kids for breakfast.

[David Clark @bluedot]

@catgyoung Feels like there should be a book called “Best practices to slow your week down” or “Tai Chi your week”😂

[David Clark @bluedot]

@catgyoung Just be careful it doesn’t bite your hand off 😅
