#PrimaryCare #BePartOfResearch Samina Begum,patient partner: "Being part of co-producing these films gave me & others in my community a voice, helping shape the stories and highlight what really matters. I felt heard, valued,& like our work could make a real difference for people living with pain.”

Would we trust a person without qualifications to build a bridge, rewire a house, design a train? Trump & Kennedy never trained as medics, research scientists or clinical evidence appraisers . Shameful make-believe health advice for women to endure untreated pain and fever- & ‘tough it out’

This study provides insights into why GPs find it hard to talk about sexual assault. Training to reduce barriers could improve recognition and discussion of sexual assault with survivors in #PrimaryCare doi.org/10.3399/BJGP...

High quality systematic reviews do not link paracetamol to autism. I took paracetamol in pregnancy. I maintained a healthy pregnancy weight. I have a family history of autism but none diagnosed in my children. There is (apparently) a bit of ADD, but mostly we think of it as our super-power :)

I took paracetamol in both my pregnancies for minor joint troubles. I had a better pregnancy experience because I wasn't in pain. Neither of my kids is autistic. The high-quality studies and reviews confirm there is NO evidence that paracetamol taken by the mother causes autism in the child. 🧪

If you want to show people in your life why doctors say Tylenol DOES NOT cause autism, here are two straight forward explainers: medicalnewsbulletin.com/acetaminophe... medicalnewsbulletin.com/autism-is-no... #AutRes #EduSky 🩺📊 medsky, 🩺,⚕️ #SciPol 🧪

The GP workforce paradox: more trained GPs, fewer in NHS general practice |-‘With the total cost to train a GP estimated at £430,540 in 2022, the authors indicate this represents a loss of £8.6bn by headcount and up to £13.1bn by FTE,’ www.health.org.uk/features-and...

Shocking….

Free speech? Layla Cunningham is happy to platform a doctor who made up a story about an association between vaccines & cancer- in order to stimulate a debate & use peoples valuable time to talk about a lie. Does she want doctors who look after her & her family to use made up stories in healthcare?

“You don’t want people to say what’s against the status quo!” After platforming a vaccine conspiracy theorist at their conference, @lewisgoodall.com asks Reform’s Laila Cunningham if there’s a ‘limit’ to free speech.

Absolutely unbelievable to see egregious anti-science nonsense being given an airing like this. Well done @lewisgoodall.com for calling it out. “A broad church… freedom of speech” - and that’s the excuse for platforming not just misinformation but disinformation.

Its been three years since a complaint was lodged to GNC about Malhotra’s anti- vaccine stance which has seen him continue to grow his sphere of influence reaching into US and now potentially Reform, UK policies

#GeneralPractice #Primarycare Our collective duty to advocate for quality & breadth of clinically focussed, experiential training for GPs . ‘Blended learning’ is not evidence based. The evaluations are of insufficient quality & breadth to inform change; I’ve read them. Train more trainers, quicker.

A tenet of Fascism is keep repeating lies and people will become so confused about what is the truth that they’ll start to believe them. We all have a responsibility to keep repeating the truth in the face of politically-motivated lying. Don’t just roll your eyes, speak up.

Thank you Fiona Godlee

Malhotra is a cardiologist. He is neither a public health epidemiologist , an immunologist nor is he an infectious diseases specialist. There is no evidence whatsoever to support his claims- an anecdote from an in-named oncologist just doesn’t cut it. I’m shocked that the GMC have not responded.

This is without any evidence or data to support it. Cancer existed before COVID vaccines. The rise in early onset cancers- going on for decades- is not linked to COVID vaccines. Follow scientists & medical researchers. Not ppl selling snake oil. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“After a gunman reportedly deceived by anti-vaccine disinformation opened fire on the CDC and fatally shot David Rose, a community grieves as Trump officials remain silent. A lie murdered David Rose.” www.theguardian.com/... 1/4

Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.

Imagine if RFK and co destroy childhood vaccination in the US? A 50% decline in childhood vaccination could result in 51.2 million measles cases over a 25-y period, 9.9 million rubella cases, 4.3 million polio cases, 10.3 million hospitalizations, and 159 200 deaths jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

From my book (1/5): Dr. Katalin Karikó’s work on mRNA laid the foundation for successful Covid-19 vaccines, as well as other vaccines for HIV, influenza, malaria and more. “But for many years her career at the University of Pennsylvania was fragile.

Read this. The targeted killing of journalists in conflict zones is a deeply troubling sing of our times.

This looks like an interesting position!

Great (if troubling) read on hyperemesis gravidarum. All health professionals need to know about this condition. It’s real, and it can kill. Having had both HG and chemotherapy, I can say HG is orders of magnitude worse. And I was accused of “attention-seeking”. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

RFKJr’s gradual elimination of vaccines in USA is continuing and gathering pace as 22 federal contracts for mRNA-based vaccines being terminated including late stage research for bird flu vaccine #ImmunoSky 🧪🧵

It’s as we learned the opposite of all the lessons we should have learned from the Covid pandemic. www.bbc.co.uk/news/a...

Deliberately neglectful eejits, led by an eejit, appointed by an orange eejit. This will mean more people die. It's that simple.

mRNA vaccines are a game-changer. Faster to develop, generally safer, easy to modify, huge potential for wider applications (e.g. cancer). If the vaccine has been approved, it's already been thoroughly tested in randomised controlled trials. Nobody's trying to poison anyone with these vaccines.

The Trump administration is denying us choice, is risking our lives on the basis of its ignorance and superstition. And that's the charitable reading of this. Trump while protecting himself caused 500,000 unnecessary US deaths in his last administration. Why?

RFK Jr is destroying research on vaccine technology that has saved millions of lives in favor of antiquated vaccines that don’t work as well and take longer to produce. Killing mRNA vaccines will kill people. open.substack.com/pub/rasmusse...
