Things that make a difference to health: Universal healthcare School meals Encouraging vaccination programs Social safety supports Early childhood education initiatives Etc. Things that make no difference: Switching very similar sugars in soda
What single adjustment will significantly change someone's health? It will take many small changes to actually make an impactful difference in someone's health.
My tweet of the year. Brilliant paediatric oncologist @AlastairMcA30 wrote a book with the same title. Bless our brilliant physicians who look after our kids when they get sick…
Vaccines are genius but the greatest invention in human history remains ice cream
Serving sugary drinks with cane sugar in glass bottles won’t significantly change anyone’s health. This is performative nonsense that summarizes how silly the “MAHA” movement is.

No, your doctor doesn’t want you sick. But that lie sure helps the wellness industry feel “holier than thou” while selling you overpriced nonsense.

Pediatricians do not profit off vaccines. In fact, most pediatricians either break even or even lose money when they offer vaccines. Misleading parents about doctors' motivations puts children's health at risk and sows distrust in lifesaving vaccinations. nyti.ms/4lwVbM4
I know hundreds, if not thousands, of pediatricians. Every single one vaccinates their kids fully and on schedule. Should tell you everything you need to know. #Vaccineswork
HUGE new study of >1.2 million kids looked to see if the aluminium contained was associated with a number of childhood conditions. Long story short: NO association with ANY of them. The tiny amount of aluminium in vaccines is safe. #Vaccineswork

A ridiculous lie. Vaccines have NEVER been shown to cause T1DM (or any other autoimmune disease). Does RFK Jr’s grubby little organization ever stop lying?
Vaccines have been shown to cause autoimmune conditions such as T1 diabetes. The more we make dolls like this to normalize it, the less people care to get to the root cause.

Lyme disease has been found in ancient human remains (like mummies). The claim that it was man-made is not supported by any credible evidence. Rogan needs to stop spreading misinformation.
Joe Rogan: "Lyme disease turns out was man made. Turns out there's a lot of real evidence that Lyme disease was weaponized, and that it leaked out of a lab called Plum Island."
❌ 5G does not cause cancer or spread viruses. ❌ mRNA vaccines are not gene therapy. ❌ Vaccines do not cause autism. ❌ Chemtrails do not exist. ❌ The Earth is not flat. And no, none of this is up for debate. It's time to bring some facts back to X.
If anyone claims vaccines haven’t been properly studied, show them this: We’ve now logged 500 randomized, controlled vaccine trials into our dataset with ~7.2M participants. The vast majority of trials reported safety outcomes. Many more trials to come. bit.ly/4le8z7D
This sort of stuff is just clicbaity, pseudoscientific nonsense. Enjoy your coffee however you please. You have bigger things to spend your time thinking about.
Caffeine is the #1 metabolism booster. Used right, it melts fat and suppresses hunger within minutes. But 90% of people use it wrong, causing chronic stress and energy crashes. Here’s how to use caffeine correctly (backed by science): 🧵
Increasing vaccination rates globally while SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) rates have collapsed. Yet more evidence that the claim linking vaccines with SIDS is, at best, profoundly ignorant. At worst, it’s a despicable lie.
And despite increasing vaccination rates globally, the rate of SIDS has declined:
Peer-reviewed paper destroys the argument that COVID-19 vaccines have any relation to excess deaths.
🚨New peer-reviewed study on New Zealand excess mortality destroys multiple COVID myths! Key points: ✅New Zealand had negative excess mortality in 2020 due to suppression of COVID-19 & the reduction in other respiratory diseases including influenza. Claims that "Covid deaths…
