    My tweets are not a news outlet (i.e. "All the News That's Fit to Print"). I tweet what I find interesting. I don't tweet things that are stated frequently or better by others. My goal is not to please all readers but simply to amuse myself.

    So glad that CDC is now agreeing that extended intervals between mRNA vax doses may be better, especially among young males. We were called anti-vaxed and attacked for contemplating this months ago. cdc.gov/vaccines/covid…

    I personally know 1 of the docs who spoke at press conference about President's status. He is a brilliant & honorable person and I can't believe he would be part of a conspiracy to hide the current state of his patients health. Quit the conspiracy mongering w/o evidence.

    Let me just say this, despite the inevitable hate that will spew for it. The CDC got this wrong. In essentially no circumstances should a patient with myocarditis soon after 1st mRNA vax dose get a second dose, even if the heart recovers.

    11. Here are the proposed @CDCgov recommendations for use of mRNA vaccines in adolescents & young adults. Note if myocarditis occurs after a first dose, the 2nd should be deferred until more information is know, though if the heart has recovered, dose 2 could proceed.

    Where is the evidence for this claim about the updated booster? Did I miss it?

    Being vaccinated and boosted reduces your risk of dying or getting critically ill and going to the hospital. The updated booster also increases your chances of being in attendance at upcoming gatherings with family and friends.

    Pre-COVID most docs/scientists would say things like "It appears that..." "Evidence is most consistent with..." Etc. This even w/ strong RCT evidence Now w/ COVID, find confounded observational study w/ results the way one likes... "This is the answer. Period."

    Its truly amazing how we were dismissed, attacked, and mocked for discussing vax myocarditis in dispassionate terms Some of the perpetrators have now started talking about this issue in similar language I won't wait for the apologies for the cruel treatment we got

    Very concerning if these days are borne out in a full report! (Dr. Muller is a very accomplished investigator and biomarker expert though so I suspect it will) science.org/content/articl…

    Let me get this right, we can implement infrastructure to mandate, track and verify vaccination for children in schools, restaurants, museums, etc, but it was unreasonably difficult to ask for good data showing high efficacy before doing so. That about right?

    Wow, this is a big deal. I have also seen statements that Denmark is doing something similar.

    The Big 10 report on COVID relies heavily on this paper which found rampant abnormalities among normal controls and had many statistic that make no sense. Time to retract or correct this paper.

    This is now the officially funniest thing on earth. See in this tweet, the same image everyone has been tweeting, about the T2, T1, or whatever that is all funny or something, in the hearts of people who have had covid?

    "Kids are resilient" Read that as: * My kids are fine, why aren't yours? * I'm privileged enough to work around any issues * I care more about the majority than the disparities from the minority who are significantly affected

    Commotio cordis is a diagnosis of exclusion. IMO it's premature to make or exclude this diagnosis.
