@Zack_Helm I’ve heard you sing this song before. How dare you

Taking a deep dive into the lyrics of Carly Rae Jepsen in order to learn more about the Antichrist.

Buckle up, fam.

@DGlaucomflecken my son is ready for his sub-I. His first words were “brachial plexopathy.” Any room at Dr. G University?

[Jason Sargent @jsarge]

@DGlaucomflecken I think my son’s life trajectory is set.

Republican or democrat, atheist or religious, Trekkie or Star Wars fan, lover or fighter, dog or cat person, flat earthers, LBJ or MJ GOATers, and Kelly Clarkson fans: let’s unite with one thing this year, @bencouraging 2021 playlist.

@Zack_Helm Those changes in suicide numbers need examined closely, but to say that Covid policies caused them is short sited, IMO. Young ppl mental illness was already an epidemic pre Covid. I see it all the time in 6 yrs of practice. Hope all this sheds more light on it.

[Jason Sargent @jsarge]

@Zack_Helm And don’t misunderstand my point. Factual data is extremely important in times like this. Looking at the data from multiple angles is even more important to help understand what’s really happening. A singular view leaves us vulnerable to making errors with policies

[Jason Sargent @jsarge]

@Zack_Helm 100% need to question Covid policies as policies should change as the situation changes, which is very different now from the beginning. This lack of awareness in policy makers without reasonable middle ground is literally killing us.

[Jason Sargent @jsarge]

@Zack_Helm Looking at the data, the big jump in suicide rates from 2020 to 2021 is because 2020 rates were actually very low. 2021 rates are quite on par with pre-2020 suicide rates.

[Jason Sargent @jsarge]

@Zack_Helm Hard to disagree. I will say this, children and teen mental illness has already been very prevalent prior to the pandemic. I deal with it a lot in my office. But I don’t like people using Covid as a new excuse for suicide and worsening mental illness.

Another example of why the general public has difficulty trusting the FDA. Bureaucratic garbage (and money) slows down the American health care system = bad public health outcomes

[Eric Umansky @ericuman]

NEW: An MIT scientist created an inexpensive, at-home test in *March 2020* --just weeks into the pandemic.

She had a factory read to churn them out

The tests were solid. We checked

But she couldn't get past FDA's constipated review

@united Thanks for confirming that you will do nothing

[Jason Sargent @jsarge]

I cannot stress enough how @united is the absolute WORST airline. Please keep stealing mileage points and my money along w refusing to reseat my 4 year old next to one of his parents. Sounds like a good business model.
