Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), begins in early brain development, typically before birth. There is no connection between vaccines and autism! #autism #AutismAwareness @omarjimenez.bsky.social

Measles cases are rising. 20% of kids will be hospitalized. Vaccine is the most effective way to protection. Just one dose is over 90% effective. #measles @omarjimenez.bsky.social

Tomorrow, the day after losing an hour of sleep due to #DaylightSavings, there will be a 25% increase in heart attacks and strokes. @omarjimenez.bsky.social

I'll be on tomorrow with @omarjimenez.bsky.social on CNN at the 6 am hour EST. Do you know heart attacks & strokes go up by 25% the Monday following the #DaylightSavingTime reset? Join us for more!

Pope Francis has been diagnosed with double pneumonia. His age and risk factors puts him in a very delicate situation. #popefrancis @johnberman1.bsky.social

Measles's cases are rising in the unvaccinated in West Texas. 13 people have been hospitalized. This well-known vaccine against measles is very highly effective and safe btw. #measles

Should you take a baby aspirin daily to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke? #aspirin @newsnation.bsky.social

I’ll be live on News Nation in the next 30 mins. Is it too late to get the flu vaccine? A new deadly virus has been discovered on the shores of North America. How concerned should we be?

Making America healthy again should not come at the expense of creating vaccine hesitancy. We need both - making America healthy & someone who believes in vaccines! It’s not either, or. It’s both! @philmattingly.bsky.social @drsanjaygupta.bsky.social #RFK

The flu vaccine does NOT transmit the flu! This is a myth. #RFK

Here is another reason to control your blood pressure. High blood pressures can damage the vessels in your brain increasing one’s risk of #dementia. #bloodpressure

Walk or run up the hills of #Montmarte, Paris & get lost in the narrow alleys & pretty cafes!

This is a golden rule! And it can salvage and maintain a lot of friendships.

Smoking just one cigarette can reduce your lifespan by 20 minutes, a new study reports. And it’s never too late to stop! #smoking

Emergency rooms all across the United States are being hit by a snowstorm of #Covid, #RSV, #Flu & #Norovirus. Here's how to stay safe this winter season.

Perhaps #Birdflu doesn't become a pandemic.That would be ideal. But what if it does? We should be getting thousands of rapid tests to farm workers & get FDA to approve an already existing vaccine! Why wait? Prepare now. On w/ MarniHughes at the 9am hr EST to talk more.

The demand for weight loss drugs like #Ozempic will continue to sky rocket in 2025. @lauraingle.bsky.social

I'll be on News Nation around the 4 pm hour EST w/@lauraingle to talk about the #Ozempic story & how it's helping my patients at risk of sudden cardiac death & strokes. But it's not for everyone & it shouldn't be. #rfkjr #droz

40 % of adults & 20 % of children in the US are obese. While I 100 % agree w/ #RFK about eating healthy, how realistic is this? Morbid obesity can result in sudden death, stroke & heart disease. #Ozempic does work & can be life saving. It's about being realistic vs idealistic.

#Birdflu is a flu like illness. We must stay vigilant. Aggressive genomic sequencing of this virus is key.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all of you. Thanks for the follow. Be healthy & don’t take life too seriously. Have some fun!

President Clinton has been admitted with a fever. In an older male & at this time of the year, this is what I would rule out immediately. 1. Prostate infection 2. UTI 3.Covid 5. Flu 6.Hidden occult infection - Order a CT abdomen/pelvis Blood work - Urine,white count & electrolytes. #Clinton

A little is ok. More is harmful. The wine paradox. Here’s my advice. #wine #alcohol

The US is making a comeback. Our life expectancy is hitting a rebound due to a drastic reduction in Covid deaths and a decrease in drug overdose amongst younger populations! #lifeexpectancy

I’ll be live on @newsnation.bsky.social in the next 30 mins.

And that’s a wrap for 2024! Happy holidays & many blessings to all of you.

Coming up live on CNN.

I’ll be on CNN at the 2pm hour EST. The US is rebounding from COVID & our life expectancy is almost back to pre pandemic levels but we have to do better.

First severe case of #birdflu detected in the US. Raw milk and contact with wild animals are risk factors.

When your patients know you well & bring in sugary holiday gifts :)

#Obesity rates are rising in the US & the cause is multi factorial. Diet is most important & exercise can help. We should not be a nation that depends on anti obesity drugs but they are necessary in the high risk groups.

I worry the next public health crisis could come from vaccine misinformation & revoking prior FDA approved vaccines that have saved many lives & prevented childhood illnesses. #vaccines #RFK

The polio vaccine has been proven to be safe and effective for decades! Are we seriously having this conversation?

Here are few ways to hold health insurance companies responsible for unjustified denials. @connellmcshane.bsky.social #unitedhealthcare #healthinsurance

Yes, artificial intelligence can be very helpful in the medical field. But using this technology to help deny patient claims for essential care is not right. #AI #Unitedhealthcare

Even before this tragic incident we have been seeing denials of claims for necessary care by insurance companies for years! @connellmcshane.bsky.social #Newsnation

Burning calories in #Doha. #Ritzcarlton.

This is such a devastating illness for the patient and family members. There’s always hope when a new drug shows some promise. #Alzheimers

Let’s enjoy our holidays given a long & stressful year.Try to avoid topics that could cause uncomfortable conversations with family & friends. #thanksgiving
