Born in Detroit to Egyptian immigrant parents, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar with two doctorates who became Detroit's youngest-ever health director at age 30 before going on to teach epidemiology at Columbia University.
Calling him a "radical Islamist" makes you look stupid, not him.
CNN's @DanaBashCNN just called @RobertKennedyJr out for pushing the idea that vaccines cause Autism.
And RFK Jr.'s response is ridiculous:
RFK Jr.: "But Dana, you probably don't understand this because you're not a scientist."
Dana Bash: "but you're not either.
RFK Jr.: "You have been fooled. Your statement that this has been studied is not true."
FACT: Researchers have studied the question of whether Autism is caused by vaccines for more than two decades using large population studies, sibling studies, case-control studies, cohort studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.
A Danish nationwide study followed 657,461 children and found that the MMR vaccine did not increase autism risk, including among children considered more susceptible because of family history or other risk factors.
Let me say this:
I was part of the code blue team during Covid.
One day we had seven codes, no attending or resident was available. The respiratory therapist and I kept a patient alive in a hallway with limited resources. That patient survived.
I ended up giving a mass transfusion to another patient and the ICU charge nurse came to help. We kept that man alive until the surgery team became available.
I was called to assess a guy who was rapidly decomensating. There were no beds available, only regular nasal cannula and a non rebreather mask. I went to another rapid response just to get a code blue notification. It was the patient on the non-rebreather mask. We intubated him in the hallway and I stayed with him until a bed was made available for him six hours later. I got home at 11 pm and had to be back at work the next morning at 7am. I WAS EXHAUSTED. So, miss me with the BS.
Hot take: Healthcare workers shouldn’t have to pay every year just to renew the licenses they need to do their jobs. The whole system is backwards as hełł.

Cut salmonella surveillance - Huge salmonella outbreak
Cut cyclospora surveillance - Huge parasitic diarrhoea outbreak
Cut screwworm research - screwworm returns
Cut cruise ship outbreak team at the CDC - Hantavirus outbreak on a ship
See any pattern emerging?
THROWBACK: When Michigan State running back Kenneth Walker introduced himself to Michigan and the rest of the world.
😳😳😳
This was the moment many knew Walker was going to be special: Now a SB Champion and Super Bowl MVP.
The worst part about this outbreak is that, bc every news agency is owned by corporate billionaires, not a SINGLE ONE has the courage to link this outbreak to Trump and his dismantling of our food safety protections. So the general public just assumes this is business as usual.
You know what actually keeps neighborhoods cooler in the summer? TREES. Literally trees. Stop cutting them down for data centers and then acting shocked when our cities turn into ovens. Give us our damn trees back. We don’t need another data center.
You may not like how he handles the portal, how he talks to refs, or that he’s animated but all Spartans need to appreciate how much Tom Izzo loves Michigan State. There is only one person who is there to fight for us every time we need someone in our corner. Thank you, Coach

Tom Izzo is questioning Michigan’s Elected Board System.
“Michigan’s having problems, too. Some of this is the way our boards are selected. They are elected, not selected. We’re one of only four states in the whole country that are that way. There’s a reason. It’s probably not working well.”

Imagine calling Biden sleepy Joe For 4 years.
And then you elect a guy who falls asleep at a Knicks game, during meetings, in court.
MAGAs are parodies of themselves
Don Lemon on Trump’s corrupt $1.8B slush fund: “This is some fucked up shit. Donald Trump sued himself then settled with himself and sent you the bill, suckers. This is blatant corruption. The most corrupt regime in American history”
