Quick story: I’m a middle aged man who last year finally couldn’t ignore the lump of tissue I could feel in my right breast. I decided to get a mammogram done.
Thankfully, it was a benign cyst that I can safely ignore.
But men, if you are in a similar situation, don’t hesitate—get checked out.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Hospital, nursing home and Medicaid advocates say the cuts will create a ripple effect that strains the state’s health care system — predicting more people will become uninsured, providers may close, and private insurance rates will rise as hospitals offset the costs of caring for uninsured people.
‘This perfect storm:’ How Idaho Medicaid cuts could affect everyone’s health care access • Idaho Capital Sun
Cuts are coming to Idaho Medicaid: doctor pay cuts, reforms in state law, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and potentially expiring health insurance subsidies.

I’m pleased to announce that following our reporting, multiple people have reported that a formal inquiry is being made into SEGM’s accreditation, and that the CME courses are at least temporarily pulled down.
1. Washington State University has credentialed an anti-trans, conversion therapy org SEGM to teach CMEs to medical providers.
The panel is filled with the most vitriolic of anti-trans activists.
Unsuspecting providers may be taught harmful practices.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.
FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

🧵Remember the preprint claiming SARS-CoV-2 has a "synthetic fingerprint"?
It said a restriction map was "extremely unlikely to have arisen by random evolution.”
I took its claims seriously.
The "synthetic fingerprint" hypothesis collapses. My new preprint explains why.
