I’m tired of the mental health misinformation and pseudoscience that pervades healthcare, pop culture, social media, and the wellness industry. So I wrote a book about it. And it’s now available to pre-order. 😊✌️ JonathanStea.com
MAHA doesn’t understand basic medical concepts like “Brain death.” (And that you can be brain dead but your heart is still beating and your lungs are still ventilating) Just embarrassing. These are profoundly unserious people.
Our findings show that hospitals allowed the organ procurement process to begin when patients showed signs of life, and this is horrifying. The organ procurement organizations that coordinate access to transplants will be held accountable. The entire system must be fixed to…
Imagine if I started posting anti vaccine stuff saying I had "woken up", the whole medical profession was evil, Covid was a hoax, vaccines cause autism, mRNA is deadly My following would triple and I would be on every podcast out there. But I won't because that's bullshit.
Some pockets of the wellness community blend pseudoscientific health ideology with spiritual and religious components, which is one way that allows them to feel morally righteous and justified in their misinformation spread.
Is this the way it's really going down? Is this how we say goodbye? Should have known better when you came around That you were gonna make me cry It's breaking my heart to watch you run around 'Cause I know that you're living a lie But that's okay, baby, 'cause in time you…
I recently saw a patient with a serious infection. I prescribed the only effective oral antibiotic, but her insurance denied it. She’s still sick and is now at risk for sepsis. This is daily life for Americans. Meanwhile, the head of HHS is focused on the color of Froot Loops.
Froot Loops is finally following its nose — toward common sense. Thanks to the many parents who spoke out and pressured @KelloggsUS to remove harmful food dyes from its products. I urge more companies to step up and join the movement to Make America Healthy Again.
This @RetractionWatch story is a must-read. The author - clearly not happy after her fourth retraction - told the RW reporter “Go back to your editors and say, ‘Dr. Hazan is not interested in being a punching bag.’”
Consistently inconsistent. @SabinehazanMD shouts about transparency, but won't share her data or her documentation when asked, with predictable results. retractionwatch.com/2025/07/22/mic…
RFK Jr. is the founder of the Children’s Health Defense and now they’re suing him because he isn’t anti-vax quickly enough.
🚨 YES, CHD is funding a lawsuit against @SecKennedy Our first priority will ALWAYS be children’s health. Sec. Kennedy has FAILED “to establish a task force dedicated to making childhood vaccines safer, as mandated by federal law,” so we WILL be holding him accountable. “This…
While RFK Jr. publicly insists we can't trust doctors or experts, even falsely claiming physicians profit off vaccines, D. Trump is relying on a team of doctors to manage his chronic venous insufficiency. Not crystals. Not supplements. Not vibes. Not dye-free ice cream.…
Evolution isn’t a conscious engineer—it’s a tinkerer that builds on existing structures. If a trait isn’t a major liability, it can persist, even if it’s suboptimal.
In fact, as a professor of cell biology and publishing scientist, I may understand the theory of evolution better than Jonathan. The problem is obvious: if these "quirks of creation" indicate problems with the theory of intelligent design, it certainly suggests the same with…
Any faults that you find with my intellect should be taken up with the designer.
The designer gave you the intellect to become a "Dr." (whatever THAT is) and you find faults instead of being thankful for your intellect? He made you intelligent, but I think you make yourself foolish. What a waste of a gift.
Ditto the anti-psychiatry network.
Some pockets of the wellness community blend pseudoscientific health ideology with spiritual and religious components, which is one way that allows them to feel morally righteous and justified in their misinformation spread.
Evolution doesn’t have a predetermined goal or a specific endpoint. It’s a process driven by random genetic variation and natural selection, not by a conscious design or a desired outcome. What’s beneficial in one environment might be detrimental in another. It’s a constant…
Well, nobody said it was perfect (or even intended to be). And yet here we are. But what’s so obviously silly in your reasoning is that you also accidentally criticize the theory of evolution. Shouldn’t evolution have solved for these apparent flaws?
🧵 THREAD: Health Is More Than Hospitals The #1 predictor of your health isn’t your doctor. It’s your ZIP code. Your paycheck. Your school. These are the Social Determinants of Health and both this administration and RFK Jr. act like they don’t matter. Let’s fix that.👇
People ask me all the time, "What happened to QAnon?" ................................
If you tell the base of people, who support you, of deep state treasonous crimes, election interference, blackmail, and rich powerful elite evil cabals, then you must take down every enemy of The People. If not. The base will turn and there’s no going back. Dangling bits of…
We’re cheering for dye free ice cream while millions may lose Medicaid and SNAP because nothing says public health like ignoring actual people’s needs.
Science literacy is collapsing. And with it, the foundations of civilization. People fear vaccines more than viruses. So diseases we once defeated are coming back. They fear GMOs more than hunger. So we reject tools that could feed millions. They fear nuclear more than climate…
A large study including more than 130,000 people in the U.S. revealed that the shingles vaccine (Shingrix) and the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine (Arexyv) are associated with a reduced risk of dementia. sciencealert.com/huge-study-rev…
