For every death, many more who are wounded. Prescription drugs are not only the leading cause of death bit.ly/3JoW6Nr. They lead to permanent physical and psychiatric disturbances, or permanent disability, in many, many more people. Use drugs as little as you can

Less is often more.

That full body MRI is an extreme example of the intersection of good intention + technophilia + profit motive + consumerism. The result in increased cost (to patient and public system), hassle, harm & burden, but not improved quality or quantity of life.

An invaluable resource!

David Egilman nailed it. 'Spineless and corrupt.'
Reminder of another🎯🤣 piece 🙏Carl Elliott with a quote from a clinical ethicist who ran afoul of authority: 'Do not take such jobs unless you are willing to compromise your integrity or be fired.'

Fiction: FDA 'accelerated approval' helps #Pharma 'get drugs for serious unmet medical needs to patients sooner.'
Fact: Half of *cancer* drugs thus approved do not improve survival OR quality of life.
Pharma is, unsurprisingly, pleased with this:

The biggest scandal in healthcare: Prescription drugs are the leading cause of death. And psychiatric drugs are the third leading cause of death. Depression drugs are the major killer. See my article: brownstone.org/articles/presc…

Maryanne Demasi nails it.

Antidepressants should never be sold over the counter. These are serious, mind and body altering drugs and NOT a daily vitamin.

They are linked to violence, suicide, akathisia, sexual dysfunction, and can be hard to get off them.

In the future we will realize that the massively increasing rates of Dementia we are seeing, is the direct result of many prescription drugs starting in peoples’ 40s and 50s.

2 leading culprits per my hypothesis will be found to be overtreating Blood Pressure meds and Statins

Heyyyyyyy #foamed #MedTwitter folks:

Here’s an easy practice changer

Dental infection
1) drain
2) if need abx, don’t give clinda… it is more likely to cause c diff and death than alternatives!! ☠️

Dear Roy Perlis

Where were you in mid 2000s when we worked tirelessly to get blackbox suicide warnings added to antidepressants?

Where were you in 1991 when the FDA held hearings on the emergence of violence and suicide with Prozac?

Antidepressants are NOT benign daily

The truth never gets old.🦋

Thanks ⁦Wendie Pett⁩ 🙏🏼

This is part of the spider web of influence … paying doctors as key opinion leaders, influencers, and ultimately as part of the sales force.

💰talks.

Notice that not a single 'fact checker' or 'disinformation expert' called out Pfizer while they were illegally promoting their #COVID19 vaccine.

The entire disinformation industry is a fraud and a front for biopharma.

A hero in my estimation.

I imagine those mistakes would be very minor. This sounds like an awesome book. Congratulations!

I will never in my life unsee large swaths of the previously pharma industry adverse left fully embrace pharma funded propaganda as part of its identity.

This was essentially the thrust of my presentation to the NCI. The vaccines were neither studied nor approved to prevent transmission. Therefore any vaccine mandate was irrational.

Best thing I’ve read on Twitter all month
