Dr. Bill Cassidy’s legacy as a hepatologist, will be that he brought about more liver disease. Put that in his obit.

Science isn’t static. Our last Ode to #NationalFoodDay is a great example of this. We used to tell parents to avoid peanuts. Then new research showed early exposure prevents allergy, which has likely saved thousands of kids from developing peanut allergies. 🥜💡

Reversing peanut advice prevented tens of thousands of allergy cases, researchers say
A decade ago, research said giving young children peanut products can prevent allergies. A new study says that, 10 years later, tens of thousands of U.S. children have avoided allergies as a result.

Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

Kennedy’s ACIP 2.0 is as expected. Headlined by charlatans that have nothing to lose and will rubber stamp ludicrous policies.
I strongly urge my fellow healthcare providers to speak up and be unafraid. We must ensure there is accountability through collective action.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

During the rollout of the COVID vaccines, the lack of testing - combined with a raft of misinformation - led many pregnant women to not get vaccinated.
@propublica.org wrote this in 2022, but it's just as relevant now with RFK Jr's CDC changing recommendations for the vaccine.

“God, No, Not Another Case.” COVID-Related Stillbirths Didn’t Have to Happen.
A lack of testing data and government guidance led many to avoid the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy, unwittingly increasing their chances of a stillbirth.

🧵1/ CDC study: every 30 minutes, someone visits the ER for a gun injury. Scientists tracked 93k+ cases from 2018–2023. Peak times: 2:30–3:00 AM, weekends, & holidays—esp. July 4th & New Year’s. Gun violence remains a tragic public health crisis in America.
