The typos that appear in my tweets are because of a chubby R thumb, a big iPhone in my small hand, and sometimes poorly restrained passion, especially when it’s 4am and I’m awake.

@ameliaUrquhart_ @a4waystop Remember that time in math class you were assigned calc problems & turned in two pages of hieroglyphics and a poem about square dancing and your teacher had the AUDACITY not to give you a good grade!? (Sarcasm). I just can’t with these people…

@a4waystop You and I both know that’s not what happened

I am so disappointed in my university

@sanderson1611 Are you a parody of a sh*tty human? If not, how embarrassing and sad to be this hateful.

I would be pissed if I donated to a church & found out that they were giving the Lord's money to "single mother" whores. I would want it to go to the Lord's work or toward helping godly Christians who are in need. Churches should not be funding fornicators and their bastards.

@clareanneath Feel free to only enter into heterosexual marriage yourself. That is the extent of how much your opinion on this matters. Other are free to love and join their lives to who they choose.

Marriage is God’s design: one man, one woman, united in a sacred covenant for their good and the gift of children. 🙏 No court, no culture, no future ruling can rewrite what the Creator authored from the beginning. Marriage is between one man and one woman.

@LOVESD2024 @pn_warner Yes, we have plenty of data on this. Sit down.

FYI… There were NO Children’s Hospitals when I was a kid. Because kids weren’t sick.

@RobSchneider What a wildly stupid statement. Then again, it’s heartening when folks like you reveal how truly unqualified they are to weigh in on ANY matter of public policy, let alone public health.

@KimAnn64 @RobSchneider You not knowing them doesn’t mean they didn’t exist. Often they just died.

@RobSchneider I didn't know one baby or child with heart problems or cancer..what have they done

@Echo3J @RobSchneider If you think that we, as pediatricians, chose the lowest paying speciality in medicine and gave up a decade of our lives to learn how to care for children in order to make money, I’m sorry about the state of your soul. What a wildly insulting statement.

@RobSchneider I get what you're saying, but Children's Hospitals have been around for centuries. There's always been big money in treating children, and THAT is what's driving illness.

@DrPaulOffit @DrJenGunter Keep doing incredible work, Dr. Offit! Your fellow pediatricians are behind you.

Jim O'Neill, acting director of the CDC, just made an irresponsible announcement about the MMR vaccine. This is a 2-minute rebuttal to his request.

@garrett_ja5958 @doggintrump @atrupar If you don’t have access to prim. care, you go to the ER. It would improve the system for everyone involved (more efficient, cheaper) if we created better access for everyone. The moral argument for universal healthcare is enough to sway me, but there’s an economic argument too.

@doggintrump @atrupar They go for minor illnesses. Very rarely is it an emergency

Leavitt: "When an illegal alien goes to the emergency room, who's paying for it? The American taxpayer."

@SystemicTexism @WHO @DrTedros @WHOAFRO @WHOEMRO @WHO_Europe @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO @pahowho Part of science, and certainly part of medical practice, is taking the knowledge we have about situations we’ve run into before and extrapolating it to new situations where we don’t yet have data that guides our decisions. Him using his expertise to do that is 100% appropriate.

@RC_pedsMD @WHO @DrTedros @WHOAFRO @WHOEMRO @WHO_Europe @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO @pahowho It was never “bunked” in the first place. Fauci admitted to congress that he didn’t have any scientific data supporting those policies. Yet he, the CDC, and WHO said “trust the science” over and over again. Credibility gone.

WHO statement on autism-related issues The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes that there is currently no conclusive scientific evidence confirming a possible link between autism and use of acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol) during pregnancy. Globally, nearly 62 million people (1 in 127) have autism spectrum disorder, a diverse group of conditions related to development of the brain. Although awareness and diagnosis have improved in recent years, the exact causes of #autism have not been established, and it is understood there are multiple factors that can be involved. Extensive research has been undertaken over the past decade, including large-scale studies, looking into links between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism. At this time, no consistent association has been established. WHO recommends that all women continue to follow advice of their doctors or health workers, who can help assess individual circumstances and recommend necessary medicines. Any medicine should be used with caution during pregnancy, especially in the first three months, and in line with advice from health professionals. Also, a robust, extensive evidence base exists showing childhood vaccines do not cause autism. Large, high-quality  studies from many countries have all reached the same conclusion. Original studies suggesting a link were flawed and have been discredited.  Since 1999, independent experts advising WHO have repeatedly confirmed that vaccines - including those with thiomersal or aluminum - do not cause autism or other developmental disorders. Childhood vaccine schedules are developed through a careful, extensive and evidence-based process involving global experts and country input. The childhood immunization schedule, carefully guided by WHO, has been adopted by all countries, and has saved at least 154 million lives over the past 50 years. The schedule remains essential for the health and wellbeing of every child and every community. These schedules have continually evolved with science and now safeguard children, adolescents and adults against 30 infectious diseases. Every vaccine recommendation by the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE), an independent advisory group to WHO, is grounded in rigorous review of evidence and carefully designed to offer the best protection against serious diseases and to be delivered when most needed. When immunization schedules are delayed or disrupted, or altered without evidence review, there is a sharp increase in the risk of infection not only for the child, but also for the wider community. Infants too young to be vaccinated and people with weakened immune systems or underlying health conditions are at greatest risk. Autism and neurodevelopmental disorders are among priority mental health and neurological conditions being discussed at the 4th UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs and mental health this Thursday, 25 September. As a global community, we need to do more to understand the causes of autism and how best to care for and support the needs of autistic people and their families. WHO is committed to advancing this goal working together with partners including autistic-led organizations and other organizations representing persons with lived experience. WHO also stands with people who are living with autism and their families, a dignified community entitled to evidence-based considerations free of stigma. Full statement: bit.ly/47YsgwI

@SystemicTexism @WHO @DrTedros @WHOAFRO @WHOEMRO @WHO_Europe @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO @pahowho Those were practices that were based on best practices and based on the expert advice at the time. Likely saved many many lives. A good public health response is always likely to look like overkill if it saves lives. This idea it has been “debunked” is wrong.

@WHO @DrTedros @WHOAFRO @WHOEMRO @WHO_Europe @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO @pahowho You recommended masking, physical distancing, & closing schools and economy during 2020, did you not? Did you ever correct the record on that false information?

@glvazquez @AHaitchW @WHO @DrTedros @WHOAFRO @WHOEMRO @WHO_Europe @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO @pahowho @BBCFergusWalsh How is this not intuitive to more people….

@AHaitchW @WHO @DrTedros @WHOAFRO @WHOEMRO @WHO_Europe @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO @pahowho @BBCFergusWalsh That’s not true there is autism in those communities too. One thing to remember is that if you don’t see a doctor you can’t receive a diagnosis.

@Cubanbob @DilanianMSNBC @grok No, it doesn’t. The two situations can be different on the merits.

@DilanianMSNBC @grok does this previous post make Ken hypocritical?

What I am hearing from DoJ sources: The Comey indictment is among the worst abuses in DOJ history. Shocking. It’s hard to overstate how a big a moment this is.

@UnimpressedTX @lawyermatt @DilanianMSNBC 1000%, the manipulation of the narrative was absurd there

@lawyermatt @DilanianMSNBC Biden's DOJ gave Trump 18 months to return those documents without consequence. He didn't. Not even in response to a subpoena. He obstructed instead. You don't get to bring up standard raid procedure as some kind of gotcha.

@iDrSunny @DrJoFranklin @RCollEM @RCEMpresident Ok, as a pediatrician I could cover a brain surgery right?

@DrJoFranklin @RCollEM @RCEMpresident Doesn’t look like they are asking for relevant details on paeds but even if this ACP has paeds experience … like what?

Doctors are being replaced Northampton General trying to fill gaps in their *doctor* rota - ACP immediately puts their hand up to cover an SHO shift - same ACP happy to also cover a paeds reg Absolutely - well done @RCollEM @RCEMpresident 👏🏽 NoT rEpLaCiNg DoCtOrS 🤡

@CatholicLisa I pray your child finds peace with who they are and seeks out a chosen family that accepts them for whoever they choose to be. I also pray you rediscover unconditional love and support for your child instead of publicly declaring your lack of support for them.

Pray for my daughter who identifies as non-binary, that she wakes up from her delusion.

@DrNeilStone 1) RFK 2) Hegseth

Who's the most dangerous cabinet member? RFK Jr Tulsi Gabbard Kash Patel Pete Hegseth I go for RFK Jr with Tulsi a close second

@SecKennedy You are a dangerous, ill-informed, wildly unqualified hack. You are endangering the lives of millions.

I promised 4 things: 1. to end covid vaccine mandates. 2. to keep vaccines available to people who want them, especially the vulnerable. 3. to demand placebo-controlled trials from companies. 4. to end the emergency. In a series of FDA actions today we accomplished all four goals. The emergency use authorizations for Covid vaccines, once used to justify broad mandates on the general public during the Biden administration, are now rescinded. FDA has now issued marketing authorization for those at higher risk: Moderna (6+ months), Pfizer (5+), and Novavax (12+). These vaccines are available for all patients who choose them after consulting with their doctors. The American people demanded science, safety, and common sense. This framework delivers all three. Thank you @DrMakaryFDA for your leadership.

@LastTrueRoman @RepMTG Oh god I’m afraid this wasn’t sarcasm….terrifying.

@RepMTG This is good work Marjorie. However many of your erstwhile supporters have been very worried by some of your recent behaviour. Loyalty to the President should be the BARE minimum. You can’t flip flop on supporting the savior of not just the US, but Western Civilization

I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity. It will be a felony offense. I have been researching weather modification and working with the legislative counsel for months writing this bill. It will be similar to Florida’s Senate Bill 56. We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering.
