Dr Drew and his intellectual equal Jillian Michaels making up data again
Liz Churchill@liz_churchill10
Dr. Drew: “We’re seeing LOTS of HEARING LOSS right now in relatively young people from the Covid Vaccine” Jillian Michaels: “That’s just INSANE...it’s making me feel HOMICIDAL” A generation paying with ruined ears while the architects walk free. THIS IS THEIR EVIL LEGACY

@fire_starter457 How many Christians do you think go to bed each night fearful of LGBTQ issues? There are plenty of warnings against the foolishness of atheism. Romans 1 the main chapter.
English
Dear Christians,
Jesus didn’t warn us about LGBTQ people or atheists. He warned us about religious people who love power more than the truth.
I hope this rings a bell.

@jonathanstea Which diseases? Most “antivaxxers” would be more open minded with a fair articulation of risks/benefits. Problem is your side treats it like religious dogma…. “All vaccines are good! Don’t ask questions!!!”
English
It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can afford to contract vaccine-preventable diseases to own the libs.

@NightShiftMD What would say to a parent with a child neurologically injured child between than 24-72 hours post vaccination?

Thank you for having the courage to keep posting scientifically based comments.

The amount of vicious hate I get on this site is just absolutely off the scale.

@HepcatinExile @PastorTrey05 @IShadowLI Everything else the guy does ushers in communism, lawlessness, and disdain for American values. Just my humble opinion. “Good wishes” is the op.
English
@Adam1996Indep @PastorTrey05 @IShadowLI YOU are the one who likened a city leader's good wishes to people of faith as an attack. There's no telling what kind of response you'd think appropriate.
English
The Muslim mayor of the largest city in America (which a buncha people said he would try to bring Sharia law to) wished Christians well on a Christian holiday, and a buncha evangelicals are congregating in his replies to correct & quiz him.
An insufferable way of living.

Today, on Good Friday, we mark a day of sacrifice. Some New Yorkers will abstain from eating; others will spend hours without speaking. Faith, the Bible tells us, is belief in the things unseen. That belief is what will guide so many of our neighbors in solemn reflection and reverence. I wish all those observing Good Friday a blessed day of peace.

@HepcatinExile @PastorTrey05 @IShadowLI You think I’m violent because I would protect innocents if they were attacked?

@Adam1996Indep @IShadowLI So neither one of us can vote him out, but only one of us is actin like a big ol baby about it

@Adam1996Indep @IShadowLI I don’t live in NYC. And I’m betting you don’t either.
Like… this feels like recreational whining.

@Adam1996Indep @IShadowLI He’s already been elected & inaugurated. We’re past activism as far as that goes.
I’m directly addressing your incessant whining, but sure that makes *me* “pathetic” I guess, lol
English
@Adam1996Indep @PastorTrey05 @IShadowLI A man who observes a different religion from you expressed good wishes on one of your holiest days and that's just like beating up your mom?
This nonsense is just beyond belief.
English
@PastorTrey05 @IShadowLI Addressing some threats physically is indeed something you would do. Voting against an obvious threat to your values and speaking against those threats are hardly unchristian. Christians often mistake “doing nothing while bad people do bad things” for Christlike virtue. Pathetic
English
@Adam1996Indep @IShadowLI lol, whichever reason you need to put in your ledger for me not playing your reindeer games is fine with me.

@dkegel @NightShiftMD I think we define “significant health risks” differently. Measles cycled through annually pre-1963.
English
@Adam1996Indep @NightShiftMD Taking measles as an example, we'd like to prevent outbreaks, because measles carries significant health risks. For that, ~95% of people need to be vaccinated. So if roughly 5% of people skip it, that's fine.
But arguing that people should get measles is just insane.
English
To the "clot" shot morons. Please turn off your idiotic X feeds and leave medicine to the professionals. Stop your ad hominem wild accusations about being bought by Pharma. If you don't want vaccinations, fine. But stop impuning the reputations of people and science you know nothing about. You long since grown boring and tiresome.

Study shows COVID vaccines decreased heart attacks and strokes. A sweeping analysis of nearly 46 million adult health records has delivered a clear verdict: COVID-19 vaccination sharply lowers the risk of heart attacks and strokes, directly refuting persistent claims to the contrary. Published in Nature Communications, the study followed people across England from December 2020 through January 2022. It documented a 10% drop in serious arterial blood clots (including heart attacks and strokes) after the first dose alone. Protection strengthened further with subsequent doses: a 20% reduction among those fully vaccinated with Pfizer/BioNTech and a striking 27% reduction for AstraZeneca recipients. The researchers were upfront about rare side effects—myocarditis and certain clotting disorders—that can occur shortly after vaccination, but stressed these remain exceptionally uncommon. By comparison, catching COVID-19 itself dramatically raised the odds of major cardiovascular events. Lead co-author Dr. Samantha Ip described the results as some of the strongest evidence yet that the vaccines do more than prevent severe infection: they also confer lasting protection against two of the world’s leading killers. [Ip, S., North, TL., Torabi, F. et al. Cohort study of cardiovascular safety of different COVID-19 vaccination doses among 46 million adults in England.

@ronnoc_rd @sjs856 That’s legit impressive to have an intervention perform so well. Agreed on sample size. I’m far from an expert or even a knowledgeable amateur; my goal was to ensure my kids didn’t come across autoimmunity unnecessarily
English
@Adam1996Indep @sjs856 Becomes more complex with things like influenza.
Do we compare to placebo or compare to last seasons vaccine?
Extremely tricky. I had a study stopped early once for super-superiority against the comparator which was heartening, but the numbers required to demonstrate are big
English
False.
Placebo in a clinical trial = standard of care or other agent that differs from what is being trialed as long as it makes sense
Your “true placebo” fallacy is just an excuse for Tuskegee 2.0 which RFK Jr. approved funding for in Africa on Black babies
Steve Kirsch@stkirsch
@sjs856 placebo= saline which is the only true "placebo"

Good Friday marks the conquest of death on the Cross by Christ, who is not a generality but a man and also God.

@ronnoc_rd @sjs856 Fair questions. In a perfect world, yes. In the world we have, I’m open to the argument that SOC is necessary as a placebo depending on the target. With childhood illnesses and the surge of autoimmunity, I’d like some skepticism around vaccines vs. dogma.
English
@Adam1996Indep @sjs856 What about blood pressure meds?
What about vaccines with a potentially better safety profile?
Cholesterol tabs?
You want SOC withdrawn for these studies?
English
@ronnoc_rd @sjs856 You’re correct. I think that should be standard regardless of previous vaccines. That said, if something like plague was circulating and a death rate of 33% was guaranteed, I’d take a vaccine in all likelihood.
English
@Adam1996Indep @sjs856 The Covid vaccine studies were true placebo controlled, as we had nothing else. I know this because I was a patient on the NovaVax study as I was worried I was going to die due to my job on ICU at the time.
My treatment allocation when the study finished? 0.9% NaCl
English
@ronnoc_rd @sjs856 If you’re testing a traditional vaccine for a childhood illness with high survival rate, a randomized study with inert placebo is not an ethical issues especially since supportive care is available
English
@Adam1996Indep @sjs856 So you want me to recruit 15,000 patients for a study and take half of them off their existing medications? Therefore deliberately inflicting harm?
