Should you be worried about Bird Flu? @VPrasadMDMPH offer 7 thoughts about H5N1 open.substack.com/pub/vinayprasa…
"During the COVID19 pandemic, the same reporter who appeared incapable of understanding that having PCR detected COVID19 in your nose does not mean you were sick with covid nor able to transmit, now suddenly seems to understand this concept." drvinayprasad.com/p/should-you-b…

Wow, I gave a talk to a small audience a few months ago on kaplan-meier plots. Now over 100,000 people have watched the video. Never would have guessed such a technical subject would capture the interest of so many.

On X, there are many Cancer docs who take $5-400k from Pharma per year and recommend drug approval based on MRD or other failed surrogates and don't want RCTs to guide treatment. Look up anyone on open payments cms. The corruption in medicine runs deep. Should be illegal
Medical school increasingly wastes precious time teaching this nonsense. The old nonsense was the Kreb cycle. Maybe someday we can better teach heart failure and prostate cancer and how to read trials. Great quotes from @jflier freebeacon.com/campus/pedagog…
It's sad the low quality food fed to US kids. Money wasted on cancer drugs that don't work, hepa filters that are unnecessary for class and a million other misguided priorities.

Fellows know that every time I am on service, I go down to Rads and look at images with Rads, and I learn so much that is not in the report. The only way to review images IMO. Plus their monitor set up is sick.

@VPrasadMDMPH These results are surprising and disturbing. They deserve maximum reflection and discussion at the level of government health officials.
Katie Couric noted there is a lot of anti-intellectual/elite resentment in this country (driving MAGA). I agree w her in part. There is resentment of the intellectual elite bc they are neither intellectual nor elite but are very sure they should tell the rest of us what to do.
NEW: UCLA medical school's mandatory health equity class teaches students that weight loss is a "hopeless endeavor" and that "ob*sity" is a slur "used to exact violence on fat people." The full syllabus has shocked prominent doctors—the former dean of Harvard Medical School.🧵
Should you be worried about Bird Flu? @VPrasadMDMPH offer 7 thoughts about H5N1 open.substack.com/pub/vinayprasa…
Jeffrey Flier--the former dean of Harvard medical school and one of the world's foremost experts on obesity and diabetes--is calling for an accreditation review of UCLA medical school over its mandatory "structural racism" class.
Pedagogical malpractice at @UCLA medical school. I was prepared to see some questionable things in the mandatory “Health Equity” course, but what I saw was truly outrageous, requiring serious inquiry by the dean and the accrediting body. @aaronsibarium
Worth a read on woke gone wild in the teaching of our next generation of doctors. It sounds like an SNL skit, but sadly it is not.

@VPrasadMDMPH Especially when you can re-cycle the antigen in the thermofissure and generate more positives per cycle over 30?
@VPrasadMDMPH Good points but thanks to our comrades at the NY Times…
I've had awful experiences with this guy and blocked (or muted) him long ago. He was especially wrong about the uselessness of school-only pandemic closings and the dangers of reopening in person.

@VPrasadMDMPH Vinay, please create a video series on analyzing and interpreting trial designs and their results
@VPrasadMDMPH I really wish I had a professor or had heard your talks while I was in medical school. You have such a great way of presenting boring and difficult topics for those not interested in stats and research.
@VPrasadMDMPH @AaronGoodman33 It’s awful how dentists demand this bullshit. Meanwhile, poor people can’t get their teeth cleaned, because dentists demand new x-rays and patient consultations for $200. I opt out by randomly getting my teeth cleaned when abroad.
Tell that to my shitty old SF apartment that costs $5k/month. (Hint: my job is not in Seattle)
@gcr_47 That isn't a problem. If there aren't enough luxury condos in SF, rich people will move to Seattle instead. The rich will be fine.
@VPrasadMDMPH I don’t know what you’re referring to and I’m not clicking that link.
@VPrasadMDMPH @vilyessechler Just make sure you're masking while drinking and you'll be fine.
@VPrasadMDMPH @jflier Geez. I’m going to be reluctant to select a doctor from this generation of grads
@VPrasadMDMPH @jflier What a disservice to these students and patients. Obesity and diabetes were 2 highest risk factors for morbidity from Covid besides age. Obesity is a major risk for heart disease, CVA, pulmonary disease, renal failure... on and on. But sure it's a made up blah blah blah.
Journalists arrested, students suspended, state troopers sent to disband unarmed teenagers engaging in the most fundamental American right — Absolutely nothing has happened to justify such an extreme response, to literally endanger lives. Have we collectively lost our minds?
