This discussion that has been making the rounds on social media the past few days has convinced me more than ever that the general population has no idea what goes into medical training or even which parts of the training are the most important

Here’s a nice analysis of 2.5M children about Tylenol and autism. The study found a small association between tylenol use in pregnancy and autism, but the association went away in sibling analysis. In sibling analysis you compare children born to the same mother where one child was exposed to Tylenol but not the other. This is a better comparison because genetics are similar between siblings whereas they differ greatly in non siblings from different families. Bottom line: no increased risk of autism with tylenol use in a huge population analysis. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

An excellent, clear review: Are Childhood Vaccines ‘Overloading’ the Immune System? No. Vaccines today are more efficient and contain far fewer stimulants to the immune system than some used decades ago.

I’m not a surgeon, but I may have been had #gensurg looked like this 10 years ago when I was matching. I rotated on surgery in a department almost all older white men. Toxic culture was prolific. Male attendings would prey on female med students & residents…@TheNRMP #match2023

All immunity against disease is natural. We can generate that natural immunity dangerously, by getting sick, or more safely, by getting a vaccine, but it's still all your body doing its thing

Reminder for those that need to hear it.
There are almost 1 million doctors in the U.S. We are Republicans, Democrats, & Independents. We are White, Black, Latino, Asian and multiracial.

The human brain is incredible. It’s capable of both engineering a life saving mRNA vaccine and deciding that anti-parasitic cattle paste is a better option. Just unbelievable range.
