Thursday was National PTSD Awareness Day, and you’ve got to hear this.

First off, psychedelic treatments show an approximately 80% remission rate for PTSD. That’s huge. Saves lives and money. That's why I passed a law for the Department of Defense to conduct clinical trials on these therapies. The data continues to come in and it’s overwhelmingly positive.

But now we’re hiting a roadblock. An external advisory board, influenced by ICER, a think tank, rejected the therapy proposal. These technocrats think they know better than scientists. Their job is to say NO and support the status quo that makes Big Healthcare plenty of money, let’s be honest.

Worse, groups like Psymposia, which have insulted our veterans, oppose this therapy too. They think psychedelic treatment for vets “perpetuates white supremacism.”

But there's hope. These groups aren’t the FDA. The FDA hasn’t actually made the decision yet. Even if they deny this application, there are many more coming and because of my legislation the DoD has to do clinical trials on these therapies. We must support the science and push past these activist groups.

Let's save lives.

1/The finding not noted in the @BeckersHR summary is the over -14% decline in the ratio between the billed amounts & allowed amounts in 4 of the hospital based specialities analyzed (EM, Rad., Anesth., & Path) in the > 4 yr period from ‘19 to Q3 ‘23. Safe assumption that clinicians billed amounts did not decline during this +4 yr period. https://t.co/TcQEAZfIsl

The @CDCgov has so badly hurt it’s own credibility, people are now questioning their data, their recommendations and it’s undermining to real public health efforts. Regarding the new vaccines for Covid, please talk to your doctor about risk/benefit….1/4

@elonmusk Free speech is provocative; when it’s no longer allowed to provoke, no longer is it free.

New from @BalladHealth :
- COVID-19 census (today @ 403) now expected to surge past 500 next week.
- ER's are full and wait-times are "significant"
- ER's are for "life or limb-threatening" health conditions, others should use urgent care
-ER's are not for COVID-19 testing
