I spend a lot of time (for a neurologist) explaining the toxicity of tumeric with pepper extract to my patients. I have never met a patient already aware of this risk.

Outpatient Neurology requires 60 min for complex new patients - that is my hill (well, one of them).

Thank you for this - I use Pubmed daily in my clinical practice, esp to look into topics patients present to me (some new treatment circulating online, some procedure I’ve never heard of, etc). I rely on PubMed help me help my patients (obv not just PubMed, but it’s the first site I pull up)

The woman in this video did not vote for Trump. Her next video calls out people for making that assumption.

Those of us in clinical medicine need to review these facts with our patients and highlight the obvious benefits that stem from the NIH. Patients in neurology clinics are eager for scientific advances to treat and cure their conditions

Would also add that even 1% of known infections (low test rates, etc) is a large burden of disease. It doesn’t have to be a catastrophe to be really bad.

Not a scientific data point, but, in my practice, people with Long COVID do not fit the theory of a transient condition. We can only hope that this is just a skewed sample.

Thanks. Limits to this study (ended July 20221). Regardless, 1% of even mild infections is a meaningful burden of disease and disability.

This is incorrect - severity of initial infection is not correlated with risk of Long COVID

Same here from Durbin (no mention of privacy or censorship concerns, just β€œwhat about the children?”)

Yes, already done, using the link provided in the article

The Kids Online Safety Act would wreck the internet as we know it and cause mass censorship of LGBTQIA+ ppl. Here's a great rundown. This bill could pass in the *next few weeks* so call your senators!

The Kids Online Safety Act is Still A Huge Danger to Our Rights Online Congress has resurrected the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), a bill that would increase surveillance and restrict access to information in the name of protecting children online. KOSA was introduced

Sorry to make my first post here about looming censorship but something bad is coming (in addition to all the bad stuff we all already talk about)
