Remember to be skeptical of anything you learn, even if you heard it on the Skeptics’ Guide to EM. (he/him)

@Rn_Psi @drsircus I don’t think he does research, is a methodologist or has training in clinical epidemiology & biostatistics to critically appraise the evidence.

I could be wrong & he can share his training in these areas.

@LiamSchubel What term do you use for your intervention?

Can you share that plus the objective outcome measure you use to assess the impact?

Safe travels.

[Ken Milne MD @TheSGEM]

@LiamSchubel you were going to share your process/protocol/intervention for treating vax-injured patients and the outcome assessment tool you use to objectively quantify their improvement.

@IntegralAnswers I appreciate you doing these threads and learn from your posts.

[IntegralAnswers @IntegralAnswers]

@TheSGEM And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

[Ken Milne MD @TheSGEM]

@Rn_Psi @drsircus Yes, show us your critical appraisal process (transparency) that is objective & reproducible rather than an opinion.

Medical students are using a popular research tool to pump out misleading studies https://t.co/5VDnymt0yB

[IntegralAnswers @IntegralAnswers]

1/ RFK Jr’s defenders often frame his vaccine interventions as “just asking questions.”

But over the past 18 months, the pattern has become more specific—and more troubling.

When vaccine-related evidence supports safety or efficacy, Kennedy’s HHS orbit has not merely debated it. It has blocked publication, demanded retraction, rewritten public-facing summaries, or reframed the evidence as inadequate.

The key question is not: “Are vaccine studies perfect?”

No serious scientist thinks they are.

The question is: why are the studies targeted for suppression, retraction, or public doubt so often the studies that show vaccines work, or that long-standing safety claims remain supported?

That is not scientific skepticism.

That is selective hostility toward evidence.

@LiamSchubel @LiberateNDs @DrNice2026 @rencar130 Have a great day & I look forward to learning more about the intervention you are using on vax-injured patients and the objective tool you use to measure your outcome.

[Ken Milne MD @TheSGEM]

@LiamSchubel @LiberateNDs @DrNice2026 @rencar130 This was one of the most well-received slides from my presentation 3 days ago.

[Ken Milne MD @TheSGEM]

@LiamSchubel @LiberateNDs @DrNice2026 @rencar130 Yep, I've given many lectures pointing out that #EBM isn't just about the best evidence (i.e. the literature).

Clinical judgement and patient preferences/values are also part of the definition. https://t.co/8ZnbM4p36S

[Ken Milne MD @TheSGEM]

@LiamSchubel @LiberateNDs @DrNice2026 @rencar130 Super:
What evidence informs your care of vax-injured patients?
What specific care are you providing to these patients?
What objective tool are you using to measure the impact of your intervention?
