While @MAHA_Action , @realDonaldTrump , and @SecKennedy are attempting to invent causes of autism, here are some of the actual real causes of autism that actually have research backing unlike the tylenol riffraff. 1. Advanced parental age.

You don’t have to actually worry about Pfizer’s delaying their vaccine myocarditis study until 2030. I’m a cardiologist - I’ll explain why that is the case in this thread.
Biggest reason - most people already don’t trust big pharma/ gov. Why are you waiting for Pfizer… If you don’t trust what they are going to say anyway?

Next reason is that every health ministry around the world and professional Cardiology society is aware of vaccine myocarditis and has studied it extensively. We’re even closer to figuring out the reason why it occurs.

Here's how @RobertKennedyJr got it all wrong with the #vaccines on his @joerogan podcast. A thread dealing with his entire interview would be endless, so this is sticking to his statements on vaccines. 1. "why is it that CDC and every state regulator recommends that pregnant women do not eat tuna fish to avoid the mercury, but that CDC is recommending mercury-containing flu shots with huge bolus doses of mercury, I mean, massive doses, that pregnant women in every trimester..."

There is great interest at the moment in seeing what an #antivax V #provax debate actually looks like. Luckily, there are a handful of which one is here:

The topic was #vaccines and #autism, with @stkirsch J(AV) and @MsAmitripped (PV). MSAmitripped did a superlative job in the face of all the usual #debate tactics. The discussion centered around the usual talking points, but here's where the discussed went off the rails:

Congrats to the team out of #southkorea for completing a huge #COVID19 💉 #myocarditis study on their entire population to better characterize immunization myocarditis for all of us. Let's talk about what the paper really showed, instead of what the pundits think it showed. I know how much work it is to coordinate all the moving parts and all the healthcare professionals to put together something like this, so if you ever meet this team, they deserve a digital round of applause.

@drcole12 is making mistakes here that even a #pathology trainee would be embarrassed to make. His core claim is that spike protein from vaccines is inducing blood clotting. This is generally false. The source of his data is @ArneBurkhardt , who first off, makes so many logical errors that it deserves a thread of its own.

#Enterovirus #Myocarditis is getting a lot of attention in the media right now so, I'm here to share a general overview of what this is. According to our professional organization, @ACCinTouch , the definition of myocarditis is any condition that causes inflammation of the heart. There are a big list of causes, and the most common ones in adults are different from the most common ones in kids.

O, let me list the ways, that @VPrasadMDMPH tried to hoodwink you, and hope you didn't notice.
#FreeSpeech #MedTwitter #myocarditis #COVID19 The most basic way - he blocked almost all of #Medtwitter for disagreeing with him, and simultaneously claims that everyone needs to at least listen to people who disagree.
Whatever happened to actions speak louder than words @VPrasadMDMPH?

I was dedicatedly enough to vaccine myocarditis that I both personally participated in caring for patients with this condition by the usual @ACCinTouch standards and participated in the clinical research on this topic. That’s about as close as you can get to asking the hard questions.

#Pathology #COVID19 #spike #autopsy The German pathologist @ArneBurkhardt is getting a lot of stuff wrong with his presentations to the EU parliament and other interested parties on his supposed technique to determine vaccine related adverse events after autopsy. Here are all his logical holes. @EuroParlPress @Europarl_EN @Europarl_Photo

#Antivax #vaccineswork #primarycare If you have read the book Turtles all the way down, by an anonymous author, and edited by @ChildrensHD attorney Mary Holland, you have been deliberately, and systematically lied to. A small sampling of the antivax strategies used: 1. Claim that nobody knows how to read scientific studies except for them. If you intentionally misinterpret studies on traditional vaccines, you can literally come up with any conclusion you want.

#JoeRogan @joerogan and @DrAseemMalhotra misled you again, willfully, on vaccine myocarditis and statins, on the Joe Rogan show. Here, I explain how. 🧵
#vaccineswork #myocarditis #HeartDisease One part of his presentation focuses on statins, and the controversy surrounding his project with Abramson/ Malhotra et al about the risk/ benefit ratio of statins. As a quick recap, statins are intended to lower cholesterol, and Malhotra's position is that...

This thread is intended as a "mini literature review" on arrhythmias after COVID vaccine versus COVID - there are people claiming that heart block is a serious, worldwide risk after COVID immunization. Lets see what the actual research says.
#COVID19 #mRNA #VaccinesWork There are in general fast heart rhythms and slow ones - the technical words are tachyarrhythmia and bradyarrhythmia. Both can cause dizziness and sometimes life threatening problems, but lets go through them systematically, using only peer reviewed literature to think through.

#COVID19 #VaccinesWork It is actually possible to be empathetic to the vaccine injured while refraining from misleading the public - Again, Aseem Malhotra has fallen short of this standard when he spoke in @GibraltarGov . Here's how he recycled more of his distortions. He still thinks that the abstract provided by Gundry at the @AHAScience / @American_Heart is adequate to prove that mRNA is causing widespread undetected coronary inflammation... no that is not accurate. sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-puls-test-… . That test is not validated for this purpose.

Here's how @MartyMakary , @MartinKulldorff , and @DrJBhattacharya misled @congressdotgov and @GOPoversight on their COVID testimony. You know, the old saying lies in front of Congress is bad type thing. #COVID19 #hearing #lockdownfiles 🧵 1. Natural immunity works for those who get it. Those who are deceased, aren't here to defend themselves anymore. Those who are still struggling with #LongCovid #LongCovidKids , are still struggling. Many of those who recovered from COVID, are still dealing with...

#vaccines #VaccinesWork #COVID19 @DrEliDavid is doing a bunch of threads to remind the world on what healthcare workers did "in the name of science". It's my turn to remind those who think like him, what the antivaxxers did in the name of **their science**. nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…

People with no medical knowledge were thoroughly convinced that ICUs were harming them with no evidence. Some of the people who left ICUs died at home, of preventable deaths.

#heart #transplant #covid19 #vaccination There is a great deal of consternation about heart transplants and vaccine requirements. This thread is meant to explain to the public why our partners in heart transplant are so incredibly strict. Heart transplant is one of the most scarce resources that exist. Big reason? A donor has to be deceased for a heart to be available. Even then, a separate medical team has to be sure the heart is healthy enough survive two surgeries (leaving the donor, getting to destination).

#debate #science #COVID19 Scientific issues are not settled by "debate hall" style debate like you see at the Oxford Common... they never have been, despite the pleas of far right wing media platforms. Political debates are their own ecosystem. Science debates are settled by making better and better experiments and getting researchers to iron out issues systematically . Brian Greene is an example of someone who actually did the homework...

Thanks for the opportunity to discuss myocarditis @thereal_truther . Summary of some talking points - my updated point of view is that myocarditis after vaccination deserves talking about.

https://twitter.com/emdigger/status/1618115229048795140

We have much more stratified data to triage risk of myocarditis and benefit of avoiding COVID than we did in 2021.

#vaccineswork #COVID19 I would like to take a moment to highlight the differences between a real vaccine injury researcher and someone who is grifting for themselves. @P_McculloughMD 's current situation is that he blocks everyone who challenges him... and its quite easy to challenge his willful disregard of even basic biochemistry. He now sells vitamins with minimal evidence that they actually protect the heart.

#VaccinesWork #neoTwitter #COVID19 Antivax tactic used here - when knowledge is a bit sparse, invent stuff to make your meme more scary. The meme shown here is full of errors. Its about multisystem inflammatory syndrome in neonates. Lets start with some definitions - multisystem inflammatory syndrome is defined essentially as dysfunction in two or more organ systems after COVID19 infection.
