What the heck is this?! 🚩 🚩

A £4.7 million, 6 year research project called “Medicine without doctors”

Imagine:

Dentistry without dentists
Pharmacy without pharmacists
Nursing without nurses

Medicine without doctors is NOT medicine!

ENOUGH with this madness!

Staggering numbers by the Lancet. Vaccinations have:

- Averted 154 million deaths
- For every death averted, 66 years of full health were gained on average = 10.2 billion years total
- Accounted for 40% of the observed decline in global infant mortality

Bank Holidays means a day off for most, but not for thousands of NHS staff keeping services running.

Resident doctors, often starting work with over £100k debt, are the lowest paid workers in hospitals today.

RT to remind @wesstreeting every NHS worker deserves fair pay.

@timricketts_ Unbelievable value for money.

RFK's Children's Health Defense is making money selling a child's onesie with the phrases "No Vax, No Problem" and "Unvaxxed, Unafraid" to parents for $26.

Now that RFK is "pro-vaccine", will he ask his organization to stop selling these vehemently anti-vaccine products?

To “punish” Colombia, Trump is about to make every American pay even more for coffee.

Remember: *WE* pay the tariffs, not Colombia.

Trump is all about making inflation WORSE for working class Americans, not better. He’s lining the pockets of himself and the billionaire class.

@johnsweeneyroar Just finished podcast. Lots I didn’t know about case. Sewage issues, twice weekly ward rounds, flawef stats in particular! Any reason for not covering the insulin evidence and alleged Facebook stalking of parents though? Those were the only 2 pieces of evidence I found compelling

I’m still thinking about this.

Paramedic practitioner tells @mrjamesob:

🔸It doesn’t matter that he hasn’t studied medicine

🔸He’s better than doctors because he looks up from his screen

🔸He’s essentially done medicine vocationally as he was questioned ‘for weeks’
