@ABridgen Not sure how reliable your data is. 50-60% of staff in my NHS health board have had the flu vaccine.
English
The mainstream media are finally reporting that 90% of doctors and nurses are refusing the flu shot. 73% refused the Covid 19 booster in 2024 that has also increased now to 90% in some hospitals. Why are 90% of Drs and nurses now ‘Anti-vaxxers’ ? Answers in the comments please !

Is it just me or does James Cartlidge, Tory MP, remind you of Fast Show's Swiss Tony?
English
Apparently 75% of those who got the Covid shot are dead and the other 25% regret they got it
Anyone out there who has had the Covid vaccine, is not dead, and does not regret it?
I'll start

@SamanthaTaghoy Is it just me or does Tony Blair look like Olivander the wand maker (from the Harry Potter movies) is this picture?
English
No wonder Tony Blair wants Digital IDs… when his son is the owner of the company that’ll be paid £100 billion to develop and monitor them.
And ol’ Tony has £375 million worth of shares in the company, too.

Diagnosis and drug treatment of ADHD rockets in the UK. We need to question what this is about. @DailyMail dailymail.co.uk/health/article…
English
@joannamoncrieff @DailyMail I don't agree with the general political view of @DailyMail, but it is right to ask questions about why diagnosis and drug treatment of ADHD is skyrocketing.

If you or one of your loved ones has Alzheimer’s disease, encourage them to wait for placebo-controlled, blinded trial data before they take any medication or supplement. These jokers who rave uncritically about what are probably placebo effects aren’t helpful to people with AD.
Jesse Morse, M.D.@DrJesseMorse
If you or one of your loved ones has Alzheimer’s dementia, encourage them to take 20 grams of Creatine daily. This study shows that cognition improved in just 8 weeks with the addition of creatine. It mixes easily with most liquids and is tasteless. Simple, cheap, and safe! I personally take one from Native Path but there are many good quality companies.

🧵Why is mental health disability rising? Here are key reasons rarely discussed in mainstream media:

Who here has had an mRNA vaccine and is absolutely fine?

@FeldyJan @NigelKellow @ExCllrRedmond NHS is not always free at the point of service... I have an NHS dentist but pay every time I attend and I also pay for any prescriptions my NHS GP issues.
English
@NigelKellow @ExCllrRedmond It’s free at POS. That’s the point! In the US people are faced with the added incredible stress of fighting insurance & filling out 10’s of pages of paperwork. There are huge added burdens, in time, cost, & increased health risks to the patients, their familes & doctors!

I’m a consultant in private practice in London and I treat patients covered by private medical insurance every day.
If you think it’s better in the UK, think again.
I’ll share some stories I and my colleagues see every day. After reading these please DM me or share your own 🧵

I would've expelled Antisocial Personality Dsorder from DSM-IV.
Why? Its criteria just describe bad behavior/there's no treatment.
But we had set such high threshold for making any changes, it was grandfathered in.
Unfortunate because confuses distinction between bad & ill.
Stacey Freedenthal@SFreedenthal
@AllenFrancesMD Genuine question: If the DSM considers antisocial personality disorder a mental illness, how can a distinction be made between mental illness and bad behavior? The same could be said for NPD in some cases.

This piece gives 8 reasons #ADHD rates have more than tripled in last 30 years.
But leaves out 4 most important:
1)DSM/ICD criteria were loosened
2)Pharma marketing to clinicians/parents/teachers/patients
3)Careless fad diagnosis
4)Social media contagion

The main issue is that unfortunately Donanemab and Lecanemab have very limited clinical benefit.
NICE@NICEComms
Donanemab is not recommended by NICE for cognitive impairment or dementia caused by Alzheimer's. This is due to limited benefits and high costs, including monthly infusions and intensive side effect monitoring, therefore it not good use for the taxpayer: nice.org.uk/news/articles/…

Wes Streeting has a very odd belief that a person’s weight is the primary eligibility condition for being employed. Why else is he obsessing about weight loss to get people back to work?
