Another vaccine failure!
This time it’s Merck hit with a $50M settlement they’ve agreed to pay out as a result of their Gardasil HPV vaccine causing premature menopause, seizures, POTS, POI and other autoimmune disorders.
I’m glad they were held accountable!
@SethSHowes 1 in 20 Americans carries hereditary alpha-tryptasemia — a genetic variant linked to treatment-resistant ADHD, POTS, hypermobility, chronic inflammation, and early cardiac death across generations.
It requires a simple blood test to screen for. It is almost never ordered.
@SethSHowes This is exactly the energy we need. At-home genome sequencing today. At-home TPSAB1 copy number analysis tomorrow.
The lab is coming to the people. The diagnostic gap is closing whether medicine is ready or not.
NEW Study: SSRIs are associated with ⬆️bleeding risk -especially intracranial hemorrhage & GI bleeding- after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

RFK Jr: "GROUNDbreaking HISTORIC WIN for American Health!"
"For the 1st time in history, doctors will finally get PAID to take patients OFF unnecessary medications...to DEPRESCRIBE harmful pharmaceuticals."
No more rewarding over-medication. This is the beginning of putting patients first, reversing polypharmacy, and delivering true healing.
Wellness over pills. Freedom over dependency.
@NEJM 1 in 20 patients carry HαT — constitutively elevated tryptase continuously degrading connective tissue and fascia via MMP activation.
Treatment-resistant inflammatory myopathy in an HαT carrier may not respond to immunosuppression.
Because the upstream driver was never identified
“We are going to turn off the money”
🚨 BREAKING: @VP announces that @WHFraudTF is requiring all state Medicaid programs to show they are aggressively prosecuting fraud.
NIH found the hardware. We found the software bug.
1 in 20 have perfect islets but still get diabetes.
HαT: extra tryptase → mast cells on fire → insulin signaling broken.

NEWS: An NIH-funded research team has uncovered new clues about diabetes risk and the genetic and cellular factors that contribute to it.

@NIH Adding BST to the IIDP donor registry costs under $50 per donor.
It would tell you whether the residual variance in your model has a genetic explanation hiding in plain sight.
We published the research. 38 gaps. OSF timestamped.

#HαT#Diabetes
@NIH IL-6 and TNF-α are already confirmed early biomarkers in gestational diabetes.
In HαT carriers they’re not a response to metabolic stress.
They’re the baseline. The outliers in your dataset — those whose diabetes risk doesn’t match their islet composition — may carry HαT.
FDA must warn the public.
With this new study, there are now 13 -yes 13- consecutive MRI studies showing that SSRIs alter fetal brain development. (Listed below)
There is scientific agreement. Common sense, basic science, & animal/human studies all show this.
