I wish Ashish K. Jha, MD, MPH would explain his inappropriate endorsement of Paxlovid and why he felt Pfizer should not run RCTs.

The explanation of why cancer screening is so difficult is exceptional. Strong writing >

🤔

I think its worth explaining in detail while Neal Khosla is incorrect & even if prenuvo & all downstream testing were free, it would still be a bad idea to get it.

Excellent essay from Vinay Prasad MD MPH on why whole body MRI for cancer screening is almost certainly not going to save your life and could easily cause you much unneeded pain.

Christina Farr, if you do a follow-up invite Vinay!

Strange fixation?

My dude… the only signal of benefit in the COVID recovered in the original trial many moons ago was a not statistically significant reduction in hospitalizations (8/528 in placebo vs 1/540 in Paxlovid arm )

And riddle me this : how long has it been since

Napalm-level truth bombs in this Tavleen Singh piece. She argues that behind Modi's popularity and irrelevance of the elites, lies decoloniality. But there's more. A 🧵

The original trials that lead to FDA approval for Paxlovid suggested that there was no/marginal benefit even in the high risk to using Paxlovid in those recovered from COVID

The entire benefit was in the unvaccinated , who had never had COVID before.

Notice the poster doctor

The physician quoted in the piece is spot on.

Seems odd that NEJM is not allowing embargoed access to their articles from readers most capable of finding the errors

What do you think the motivation is?

The Financial Times was sooo bad on COVID.

How is their financial reporting?

What I think of when you say myocarditis is mild.

Anish Koka, MD Yes, it’s as if Tamiflu for an enveloped RNA mucosal respiratory virus at 80-120 nm in size never happened.

This exchange beggars belief. Holden Thorpe, as editor in chief of Science, himself played an outsized role in politicizing the pandemic, including smearing me and other scientists he doesn't like. He should resign in disgrace.

I’m sorry, it has been obvious for a very very long time that Paxlovid was probably, at best, useless for the treatment of COVID19.

Doctors who continued to prescribe this until last week can’t read 1º literature on their own, and need to find a higher quality friend group.
