The petition provides its own justification, but you can also read this accompanying paper in the Lancet bit.ly/473zqPQ and its extensive citations of supporting evidence bit.ly/4oINrZk

The target audience for the petition is organizations like the American Medical Association, which has made statements about Ukraine but not Gaza.

It will always be hilarious to me that
@RFKJr_Official chose MAHA as the acronym for his "movement." Maybe if he had any medical training at all, he'd realize that was already the acronym for a type of disease, so probably not the best name for a health movement. #MAHA #RFKJr

Fellow US healthcare workers, if your institution has staff use an official form when a patient discharges from the hospital “against medical advice,” please consider anonymously uploading a blank copy of that form to our research study here: uwmadison.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3C… #MedTwitter #HospitalMedicine

@LimbaughLegacy @acnewsitics Uh, "transplants were happening long before this so-called vaccine came along" because COVID didn't exist until 2019... Then COVID did exist and killed a lot of immunosuppressed transplant recipients. Then the vaccine came along, and fewer transplant recipients died from COVID.
English
Let's cut through the noise: It's total BS that they're pushing the Covid vaccine as necessary for a successful transplant. Transplants were happening long before this so-called “vaccine”came along, and they were just fine. Medical science shouldn't be hijacked by political agendas.

@thevisiondoct0r @BrentAWilliams2 Literally every single time I discharge someone. Takes two seconds of my time, and then I save even more of my time by not whining about it.

@DavidSterkenMD @BrentAWilliams2 Do you screen for transportation needs as a hospitalist?

PEPFAR is arguably the best thing the US does for the world. If it makes you feel better to pretend the Gulf of Mexico is called the "Gulf of America" then go ahead and do performative nonsense like that, but don't end PEPFAR because that will kill people.

@BrentAWilliams2 What an incredibly minor imposition to go ballistic about. Maybe if Fresenius, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, would spend two seconds screening for transportation needs, I wouldn't be constantly admitting their patients to the hospital because they can't get to dialysis.

Of course, it'd be a lot funnier if it weren't so incredibly cruel and harmful.

The funniest thing about this executive order defining everyone as female is that Trump's team tried so hard to find something that universally distinguishes male from female, but in failing to do so, they basically proved that sex isn't strictly binary. the-independent.com/news/world/ame…

Please also consider retweeting this post so that we can crowdsource even more widely!

Every American should read this letter, written and signed by the majority of American medical workers who volunteered in Gaza this year. Please read it and then decide what you want to say about it to our elected representatives in the White House: gazahealthcareletters.org/email. #Gaza
Feroze Sidhwa@FerozeSidhwa
This is an open letter to @POTUS and @VP signed by 99 American healthcare workers who have volunteered in Gaza since October 7, 2023. The letter addresses what we saw, and how American policy in #Gaza should change. Please see GazaHeathcareLetters.org to read the letter. On the website you can email the White House and ask that President Biden and VP Harris meet with us to discuss what we saw and why American policy towards Gaza must change immediately.
