I get so many reasonable folks asking me whether we can trust the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines because they were developed in such a short period of time. They’re smart but nervous. Here’s something to remember: 1/

YOU LOVE TO SEE IT

Life expectancy for people with cystic fibrosis going up and up and up and uo

That's what REAL science does.

The paper that started the MMR-autism scare was retracted and its author was struck off.

The myth has outlived the fraud by more than 15 years.

[Dr. Richard Pan 🇺🇸 @DrPanMD]

RFK Jr joins his friend Andrew Wakefield, who faked a study for pay to claim the MMR vaccine caused autism and lost his license because of unethical acts including performing invasive exams of children without consent. #DrainTheSwamp

The sum total of evidence that IV abx must be used for IE is:
1) uncontrolled case series of oral sulfa drugs (not trim-sulfa, sulfa alone), tetracycline, or erythromycin from the 1940s-50s
2) an opinion from Max Finland in a review article in NEJM in 1954, citing those series

Prior to this yr, the last time the US had a death from measles was 2015. There have been 3 deaths this yr. This is an almost completely vaccine preventable dis & the drop in vaccination rate, explosion in cases, and now deaths is a failure of leadership. https://t.co/RDIglQbrJG

mRNA vaccines are a work of scientific genius and an incredible human achievement

[Jonathan Reiner @JReinerMD]

In reality US had the 15th highest per capita COVID death rate in the world and a lot of that had to do with the fact that 20% of the country remained unvaccinated. He called the mRNA vaccines the deadliest vaccines ever. RFK Jr is entitled to his own opinion but not his own facts.

Super Sky Point to Randolph Mantooth, the man who brought to life Emergency’s great Johnny Gage. Always my favorite character on a show that ranks among the 70s’ most iconic primetime dramas. St. Peter, better have the Ringer’s lactate ready. He’ll know what to do with it. #RIP

Happy Interlocking fields of double canister grape shot day to those who celebrate!

On this day in history: July 2, 1863, the Confederacy got its butt handed to it on a platter by a liberal arts college professor on sabbatical.

Don't mess with college professors.

Fucking legends if you ask me.

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

The 1977 CBS NFL Today intro is fucking spectacular. The plays get progressively more illegal and fucked up to the point I was half expecting some guy to get eaten by a lion on the field. It’s like a Naked Gun bit. Do yourself a favor and watch this.

After 8 billion doses (yes 8 BILLION, not a typo) Covid vaccines are at this point one of the most tested medical interventions in history and one of the safest ever

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Chemtrails don't exist

Turbo cancer doesn't exist

Covid does exist

Covid vaccines worked

Ivermectin doesn't work for Covid

Ivermectin doesn't work for cancer

Vaccines eradicated smallpox

Vaccines don't cause autism

Thanks and have a wonderful day

Still in disbelief.

Major sports teams in the same city should adopt the same color scheme because it's objectively way better than not
