For everyone demanding “gold standard science” to justify medical treatments like GLP-1s, vaccines and more….… Are you holding the supplements you sell to the same standard? Where are the randomized controlled trials for that colon cleanse? The long term outcome data for your

Important new genetic insight (GWAS) into how some may risk developing #LongCovid: Impressive data set from cohorts across 16 countries, implicating a role for variants of the gene FOXP4. Congrats Hanna and colleagues!

Sadly Scott Adam's has metastatic prostate cancer and Makis tried to treat him with antiparasitics which to no one's surprise, didnt work. The only parasites involved here were preying on a desperate cancer patient.

What an absolute pleasure and privilege to submerge in conversation with you, Eric Topol Thanks so much for so elegantly hosting me!

If there were 92 safe & effective vaccine doses, I’d still take them. They’d expose me to maybe 150 carefully chosen antigens - far fewer than what my immune system encounters from a single cold or a walk outside. Every day, we breathe, swallow, and touch thousands of antigens

I've been hearing a lot about this common concern: "Are kids getting too many vaccines?" It's a fair question. I'm a parent too. And as an infectious diseases physician who directs an antibiotic stewardship program, a big part of my job is stopping unnecessary medications. I'm
