Okay. Initially bit my tongue but after seeing this for a 2nd time, let's have it.

This ego-driven, self-adulating, horseshit of an excuse for comedy will likely prevent more vaccinations than it produces. Why?

B/c the vaccine-hesitant are not anti-vaxxers. 🧵/1
Simply put, imagine going to a doctor's office and expressing concern about the vaccine, or a treatment, or a procedure. - "Doctor, I'm a little nervous about the side effects."

"JuSt ShUt ThE F**k Up AnD dO iT!"

Forget about poor messaging, it's straight up unprofessional. /2
While there are those who no doubt will never vaccinate, they are fractious group. Beliefs towards vaccination are on a spectrum, not an on/off switch, and lumping them all together is a surefire way to deter those open to changing their minds. /3

It surely didn't help that the vaccine was wildly politicized during an election, but most evidence suggests that prior vaccine usage/beliefs predicted #COVID19 vaccination, independent of political affiliation. So tribal insults, again, not helpful /4

There is extensive literature associating low treatment compliance rates w/
- condescension in comm
- dismissing pt concerns
- providers displaying hostile behavior
- minimal attempts at education

I'd say this video pretty much checks all those boxes. /5

It must have been a thrilling feeling to be asked to participate on a TV segment, but it would have been much better if these doctors and all of #Medtwitter just collectively said "No thank you".

Please stop trying to help, @jimmykimmel, and stick to whatever it is you do.

It’s been a difficult week.

But, rather than publicly air my grievances, I’d like to share w/ you the kindness strangers offered us the day we brought our daughter home.

I hope our story uplifts you, and reminds you there is goodness to be had in this world.

A thread... /1
Not too long ago, my wife and I boarded a @SouthwestAir flight with our recently adopted infant daughter.

W/ clearance to return home to California, my wife carried our precious bundle, while I offered numerous apologies to passengers while maneuvering the aisle with 4 bags. /2
About mid flight, our daughter awoke and politely informed us she wanted a new new diaper. After inquiring about space for a table change, a thoughtful flight attendant (named Jenny) cleared a space in the back of the plane and gave us privacy. /3

1/ The #HAES and @WtMgmtDPG debate at #FNCE today impacted me more than I realized, so please allow me to share what has been bouncing around inside my head for the last few hours - Another perspective that may have been missed.
2/ This "debate" seems multi-layered and hard to pin down, but one of the most controversial points, as far as I understand it, is to argue which of the following is worse - the state of being obese, or the stigma that can be attached to it? #FNCE
3/ When I dare venture to ask why we can't respond to this stigma by teaching clients to internalize things differently, I get dismissed or told things like "You're missing the bigger picture of injustice", or, "that's just your privilege talking." #FNCE
