It doesn’t matter how many studies show no increase in young people dying, the anti-vaxxers will carry on promoting their misinformation.

Here’s ANOTHER study showing no link. Time to stop doing this. The evidence is clear. DiedSuddenly should delete its account & apologize.

I was delighted to read Alastair McAlpine, MD 's tender memoir. The stories he tells from the corridors of public hospitals were moving, maddening, and inspiring. A brilliant, caring paediatrician whose personal battles with addiction illuminate the complexity of the human condition.

No increase in diagnoses, no increase in death in young people with cancer in England.

The antivaxx “turbo cancer” narrative is completely without merit.

Jordan Peterson was an intelligent man whose brain became so rotted with hate and right-wing ideology that his ideas are now at the level of a goofy high-school kid.

Here is a great example: Dunning-Kruger writ large. Brilliantly debunked.

Six months on, the Israeli military campaign has brought relentless death & destruction to Gaza.

Lives shattered. Children dying for lack of food & water.

This is incomprehensible & entirely avoidable.

Nothing can justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.

Y’all, my The New York Times best-seller LEGACY: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine 👩🏾‍⚕️🩺 is in its 4th printing!! 📚

If you had told me over 2 months ago, on my pub day, that that this would be my reality, I would have been like “Ayee, really??”.

🚨 So I did a thing! I wrote a memoir about what it’s like to train in a South African public hospital, the challenges I had to overcome as a med student, working in pediatric palliative care, and *that* thread.

“Prescription: Ice Cream” coming soon!

🇮🇱 This population-based cohort study compares mothers previously infected with COVID vs those vaccinated, or both. How protected are their babies against being hospitalised with COVID?

🦠 = 56%

💉= 66%

🦠 + 💉 = 84%
