I’ve been seeing a lot of people quoting stats that show more athletes died in the last year than have died in the last 38 years. Is this true? No, let’s chat about it. A 🧵👇🏻

Florida just announced the results of an analysis that they performed, saying the results show "an increased risk of cardiac-related death among men 18-39" for the mRNA vaccines, and recommend this group not receive these vaccines.

Is this justified? Let's look at the data...

Welcome to Texas. Today abortion, a medical procedure, is now a felony. Punishable with up to life in prison. No exceptions for rape or incest. If you don’t think this will seriously impact medical care, you are wrong.

This is me at 10 years old.

I didn't know how to spell computer. I thought I had magical super powers to control the weather. The only thing I cared for was my neopet.

I was never — in any universe — someone who should have been forced by the government to have a pregnancy.

We’re heartbroken. We’re overwhelmed. The situation is critical. Please get vaccinated, wear a mask, wash your hands and get tested for COVID if you feel sick.

Happy day for me. Several people I care a lot about got the COVID vaccine today, overcoming some hesitancy. What do I say to my patients who are unsure about the vaccine? This:

[MDJ | Danielle Jones, MD, FACOG @MamaDoctorJones]

Like, trust the nerds on this one. Let us have our moment. Vaccines are safe. mRNA in a liposomal delivery system can produce proteins, but it cannot alter DNA. It’s not possible. GIVE ME THIS ONE W PLEASE. I SUFFERED ENOUGH IN JR HIGH.

[MDJ | Danielle Jones, MD, FACOG @MamaDoctorJones]

Why are y’all letting people who cheated to pass 6th grade bio counsel you on mRNA vaccinations? Make it make sense.

29-year-old Christian Eriksen went into Sudden Cardiac Arrest on the soccer field in front of the entire world today.

His life was saved because he got immediate CPR and defibrillation.

This can happen to literally anyone, anytime, anywhere.

Life is precious. Learn CPR.

@clairelela Can I please meet Gil?? How do I become worthy of his presence??

@madmcbutters In my brief experience in academia, I’ve had a surprising amount of people who wanted a way to text or call, I think it’s assumed you’re more likely to respond to a text than email if it’s “important”, but here they all use WhatsApp which feels slightly less invasive? Idk

@TheGrizzofBU @zero85545 @mrswuttburger @wichkid @AmyGrahamPagitt He does for the national guard though who had to be called in by Pence for this. He has happily called in the national guard plenty of times prior though https://t.co/kdDXYLi7nB

Worried about how quickly the COVID vaccine was approved? Here’s some quick reasons why scientists aren’t. I received my first dose shortly after Christmas, feel free to hmu with any questions! Stay safe friends

For those who insist the increase in cases is due to more testing and doesn't reflect serious illnesses.

South Dakota has a test positivity rate of 52% and this death curve. @EricTopol's thread has more comparators. It's a preview of what others will see without serious action.
