RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. @FoxNews might not fact-check him, but I will. I've reviewed the trials. I've catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵
The White House is setting conditions in the information space to justify a land invasion of Canada.
Someone needs to say it. The messaging is undeniable.
Unless the adults reenter the room, it will happen.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!
Sadly, Ofgem's energy Price Cap is predicted to rise again by 3% to 6% on 1 April (& likely again in July).
Here's the Price Cap price history of someone on 'typical use' (at annual cost)
- Predicted Apr 25: £1,796 to £1,847
- Current (Jan 25): £1,738
- Oct 24: £1,717
- July 24: £1,568
- Apr 24: £1,690
- Jan 24: £1,928
- Oct 23: £1,834
- July 23: £1,976
- Apr 23: £2,380 (state subsidised it via the energy price guarantee, actual Price Cap rate was £3,116)
- Jan 23: £2,380 (state subsidised it via the energy price guarantee, actual Price Cap rate was £4,059)
- Oct 22: £2,380 (state subsidised it via the energy price guarantee, actual Price Cap rate was £3,371)
- Summer 22: £1,877
- Winter 21/22: £1,216
- Summer 21: £1,084
- Winter 20/21: £993
PS As typical use is a mostly meaningless figure but it makes it easier in this case to see the change.
PPS The Price Cap for older caps were quoted higher at the time, as Ofgem's typical use figure was higher. Its been reduced a couple of times as people reduced their energy usage due to higher prices. So above all prices are rebased on current typical usage.
@MartinSLewis I have a private pension. Not much in it. Now 55 working part time. Should I pay into stocks n shares ISA returning 10% or my pension that pays 3%?
Watching a teacher with a big ego posting his teaching practice then getting upset when not everyone agrees with his thinking. It's like he's never bn on social media🤯.
I have attended many CPR classes over the years, but I was never told this…
What do you do when you're alone and have a heart attack?
Here’s an important post that can’t be shared often enough:
Take a 2-minute break and read this:
Let’s say it’s 5:25 pm, and you're driving home after an unusually hard day at work. You’re tired and frustrated. Suddenly, you feel a pain in your chest that starts to radiate down your arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You’re only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home, but unfortunately, you don’t know if you can make it.
Maybe you’ve taken CPR training, but the instructor never taught you how to help yourself in this situation.
So, how do you survive a heart attack when you’re alone? A person feeling weak and whose heart is beating erratically has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.
But there is something you can do: cough repeatedly and very strongly. Take a deep breath before each cough, and repeat the coughing every second until you either reach the hospital or your heartbeat returns to normal.
Deep breathing gives your lungs oxygen, and the coughing stimulates the heart and boosts circulation. This pressure can help restore a normal heartbeat.
This is how cardiac arrest victims can survive long enough to receive the right treatment at the hospital.
Cardiologists say if you receive this message and pass it on to 10 people, we can save at least one life.
For women: It’s important to know that women often have different symptoms than men. They rarely experience crushing chest pain or arm pain. Instead, they may have indigestion, tightness across the back at the bra line, and sudden fatigue.

@StanCollymore Just been to my docs. They insist they do blood and physical not just the former. Don't know if I'm pissed at the false advertising or pleased they do belts and braces🤔
