NEW: I'm excited to join @calm in the release of our mindfulness series designed to reduce stress and anxiety as we approach our third winter of death from a pandemic we no longer even pretend to protect you from. Use the code #themurthman for 20 percent off.
This free series from @calm includes FIVE practices that offer moments of pause and peace if you have yet to be desensitized to mass death and disability. Every purchase between now and Christmas gets a free poem from @AshishKJha46.
Please note: Yes, a lot of people are messaging to ask whether using the @Surgeon_General position to enrich oneself through a partnership with a private company @calm is "legal."
Is there another tool that can used by anyone, anywhere, at any time to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses, @Surgeon_General? Like some kind of veil or protective covering you could recommend?
It may be THE debate. In 2022, two institutions went above and beyond to provide a disservice to public health. They tied for this year’s @PesteMagazine Clown Car Award for Public Health Disservice. They are UCSF and Stanford.
And this is the ultimate UCSF vs. Stanford thread.
UCSF shares with Stanford this year’s Snowzzie Award for Achievement in Public Health Disservice by a Group or Organization aka The Clown Car Award. Honoring UCSF is David Gorski (@gorskon). pestemag.com/the-snowzzies/…
UCSF, of course, has one thing Stanford does not: Vinay Prasad (@VPrasadMDMPH). Prasad ridicules people for trying to protect themselves from covid. He demanded a RCT for masks and even ivermectin in the year 2022. He is for open schools and against vaccines for children.
Welcome to the 2022 @PesteMagazine Public Health Disservice Awards, aka The Snowzzies, hosted by me, @NeoliberalSnow. We convened an advisory committee, and held a public nomination process. We then invited experts to honor the recipients with essays. Here are your winners.

Breaking: things are moving very fast right now at @PesteMagazine headquarters, but early indications are there is a TIE for the Public Health Disservice Award for Achievement in Disservice by a Group or Organization aka The Clown Car Award. Who do you think the winners are?
Competition for The Clown Car Award was particularly fierce. Moderna, as expected, was nominated for its relentless covid profiteering, including suing Pfizer. pestemag.com/the-costs-of-l…
When you hear the words Clown Car who doesn't picture the Supreme Court of the United States? They were nominated for the Public Health Disservice Award for overturning Roe v. Wade, which ended the constitutional right to abortion.
He ridicules people for trying to protect themselves from covid. He demanded a RCT for masks and even ivermectin in the year 2022. He is for open schools and against vaccines for children. And he's a nominee for this year's Public Health Disservice Awards. He's Vinay Prasad.
Note: While Dr. Prasad ridicules people, he also blocks people for any criticism, including people like me, someone who has been dead for more than 160 years. Thus, what follows are screenshots from an unblocked editor at @PesteMagazine.
In 2022, Prasad called for RCTs for all variations of masking and even ivermectin.
The Public Health Disservice Awards aka The Snowzzies will be announced tomorrow starting at 9am est @PesteMagazine.
#Snowzzies Award #1: ACHIEVEMENT IN PUBLIC HEALTH DISSERVICE BY AN INDIVIDUAL ... Intended for an individual who has gone above and beyond to provide a disservice to public health in 2022.
#Snowzzies Award #2: "THE CLOWN CAR AWARD" ... Intended for a group or organization that has gone above and beyond to provide a disservice to public health in 2022.
They called masking kids "child abuse." They spread dangerous lies about Boston Children's Hospital. And just hours after the Club Q shooting, they posted details of another drag show in Colorado. They are nominated for a Public Health Disservice Award. They are the LibsofTikTok.
Though non-public health professionals, LibsofTikTok has been consistent in their disservice to public health. Here, a representative anti-mask post.
Hours after the deadly mass shooting at Club Q, LibsofTikTok decided that was the time to yet again post to more than 1.6 million followers the details of a drag show.
