@HiraSMian @RahulBanerjeeMD @mtmdphd @SniperGangDon1 @VincentRK @NoopurRajeMD When you say it's not sustainable, do you mean that the cost is excessive and it's not sustainable for that reason? Or is there something else?

@conor64 I think you're probably right, but how do you think that actually happens? When I look at replies they are mostly ad hominem attacks from the people on the other side of whoever wrote the tweet. Just look at this thread for example.

@jonathanchait Sure, it's a dumb idea. But it's a great progressive idea. You give $5,000 to each person regardless of wealth. Sure it causes inflation, but that inflation is mostly borne by rich people who actually have money.

@Noahpinion Taking care of rabbits! You fascist, they are one of the worst evils on the planet. They eat my flower buds before they can bloom, and my strawberry shoots before they can mature I hate them!

[Kent James @rkentjames]

@neeratanden Really? Rabbits are bad news, they eat my flowers and strawberry plants.

@jamescoder12 Widening to 80 mhz was not the right move. It increases the interference with his neighbors. Once he downgraded his Internet speed, he did not need the wider bandwidth

@IMFmyeloma @VincentRK @myelomaMD Now reclassify AL Amyloidosis as a variant of MM so that we have access to all of the MM drugs.

@ConLawWarrior I was initially not against Flock cameras, as they have an obvious benefit in fighting crime. But arguments like yours have convinced me otherwise.

@olgakhazan @helenlewis Early in the article, she acknowledges that part of the masculinist shtick is to say outrageous things to get liberals to react. But then the whole article seems to be a list of outrageous things we are supposed to be appalled by. The shtick seems to work well.

@Rfonsi1 @RahulBanerjeeMD @BrunoPaiva_UNAV "clearance of residual monoclonal proteins can take time" - how much time? Days, weeks, months? (my FLC crashed instantly after BsAB, m-spike much slower).

@theMMRF How does this FDA decision affect actual clinical practice? Can't providers just decide to provide it less often without FDA approval?

@Abdallah81MD @USMIRCNEWS @OncoAlert Are there any financial benefits to hematologists when their patients take expensive medicines?

@AlanLevinovitz 9:9 is my favorite: Ecclesiastes 9:9 NASB1995
Enjoy life with the woman whom you love all the days of your fleeting life which He has given to you under the sun; for this is your reward in life and in your toil in which you have labored under the sun.

@Abdallah81MD What are the ways used to "protect against infections"?

[Kent James @rkentjames]

@gdiamante @VincentRK As a patient, my approach would be to prefer the opinion of the provider who will manage the treatment, if it is firmly held. The assumption is that the provider will be more confident in their management of the side effects of the treatment they recommended

@rajshekharucms I'm on a clinical trial of a BsAbs with relapsed AL, and after one month both of my free light chains are now way below normal, dFLC = 0.07 mg/dL Only had VGPR on prior regimens. If this turns out to be typical or common, this could be a game changer like Dara.

[Kent James @rkentjames]

@VincentRK So if I say vaccines are bad, and you say they are good, can I point to one example of a person who's vaccine had really bad side effects, and say I was right in that case?

[Kent James @rkentjames]

@RahulBanerjeeMD @TheIACH @Mohty_EBMT Yeah, that's our fridge. Clinical trials seem to be on the "To pee" side.
