TL;DR: multiple articles, including one referenced in legal proceedings to support suspension of FDA approval for mifepristone, have been retracted due to undisclosed conflicts of interest w/ anti-choice orgs & inaccurate statistical analyses #medtwitter

At Al-Shifa hospital #Gaza is without power. We have premature babies who need incubators, we have patients in the ICU who need respirators, we have over 600 patients that need medical care. A hospital needs power. We need an immediate ceasefire.
