surprise! more data that gender-affirming procedures on minors are rare, and mostly breast reductions (and, way fewer than cosmetic breast surgery on cis female minors) cc Michael Hobbes jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

I don’t think people realize that the initial cloud of hydrochloric acid and phosgene from this entirely preventable disaster killed most living things it came into contact with before dispersing enough to spread into at least 16 states. Then they blocked investigation efforts…

The following day, a gunman retaliated against police. The trauma surgeon on duty that day, Dr. Brian H. Williams, a Black man. I spoke to him about July 7, 2016. medpagetoday.com/opinion/second…

Kyle Fischer The Wallet Biopsy, pre-EMTALA:

Actually, drinking lemon juice doesn’t meaningfully change your body pH in either direction - not acidic and not alkaline - because the human body isn’t a grade school science experiment and operates under a concept called ✨homeostasis✨that is critical for us to literally exist

Guilting cancer patients into thinking their disease is their fault, and convincing them to eat and drink gross things that can only make them feel worse (if they have any effect at all) is one of the worst things humans can do IMO. And this applies to almost every other disease!

Unpasteurized milk was responsible for 1/4 of all infectious disease outbreaks in the US in the 1930s & 1/10 of tuberculosis deaths. Unless you are harvesting milk yourself it’s really weird to seek out raw milk & pay 10x as much as what’s readily available at every corner store.

It’s like choosing not to use the toilet in your home, and choosing to go to the bathroom in an uncovered chamber pot that you dump out your window instead. Don’t be a doofus.

Is now the right time to start talking about gun laws?

Mary Talley Bowden, who blocked me long ago for calling out her BS, is a charlatan who grifted people w/ disproven COVID treatments and sicced followers on a hospital who refused to let her endanger patients. She “fought back” against evidence-based medicine and ethical care.1/2

Only one of us has had our license suspended for unethical treatment, violating standards or care, violating HIPAA, and disseminating disinformation. Also Bowden chose not to understand my op-ed. Which is probably how she approached anything regarding COVID-19. 2/2

I know you're tired of trying out platforms, but Bluesky (developed at pre-Musk Twitter) is federated so future hostile take-overs aren't possible, has innovative security/misinformation approach and team, and a thriving community. Economist starter pack: bsky.app/starter-pack/l…

“Doctors in Europe” is chickenshit obfuscation. No one who provides gender affirming care believes it is being given out too quickly and there is tons —tons! — of evidence that it’s not. Some EU countries are limiting care because they’re having the same moral panic we are.

People got really worked up when I described this as fascism. Here they are violently displacing marginalized citizens who have committed no crimes and destroying their belongings. This is simply traumatizing vulnerable people so NIMBYs don’t have to see them. This fixes nothing.

Also worth noting that nobody was affected in any way by handling *more than one thousand pounds of fentanyl.* Because “fentanyl exposure” is a lie.
