I'm no one too special, just a regular trauma surgeon trying to save the world one idiot at a time. Evidence or it didn't happen.

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

For those of you keeping score, this is the guy who wants to Make Polio Great Again.
A @nytimes reporter asked me, “Are you working on federal vaccine policy under an official role, such as lobbying, appointment or other authority?” . I responded: “The work our firm has done for nearly a decade, interacting with HHS and its agencies, including writing letters,.

If RFK gets his way, pretty soon “thoughts and prayers” will be all we have left to fight infectious diseases.

As it turns out, these 2 things can be true simultaneously:.1) For-profit pharma and insurance companies are evil. 2) Doctors are doing the best they can to take care of people within this broken system. Oh, & doctors who sell supplements & “detox kits” are in the former group.

That’s how most jobs work - you get paid more for doing more. Meanwhile you sell unregulated and unproven supplements whilst criticising doctors who are taking care of patients. YOU, sir, are the problem.
@GottaBeDrD You deny that the medical establishment makes more money from more patient volume/procedures/meds?. #perverseincentives.

I was getting aggravated by the bullshit on my timeline when my daughter randomly asked me for a hug. My irritation at Twitter began to spill onto her before I paused, took a breath, & gave her a huge hug, & if that isn’t the best reason to get off Twitter, I don’t know what is.

If this pandemic has taught me anything, it’s that anyone with internet access and a complete lack of knowledge about statistics can and will instantly misinterpret statistics.

Imagine being so arrogantly ignorant that you tell a surgeon how masks work.

Someone just pointed out that I predicted the future 5 months ago. Now for those lottery numbers…

Tell me more about how you believe all life is sacred when you spent the last 2 1/2 years refusing to wear a mask to protect the lives of people around you. Then tell me about how “bodily autonomy” is valid as an excuse to refuse the vaccine but not for women’s right to choose.

"Experimental drugs" are given to a few thousand people in clinical trials. So far 4.3 billion people have received 8.3 billion doses of the COVID vaccines. The experiment is over. We ALL want to get back to normal, and the vaccine is our best chance. Please get vaccinated.

You can hate me all you like. I'm fine with that because your personal opinion of me is inconsequential. But please understand that comparing vaccine advocacy to the atrocities of the Holocaust actually makes you a terrible person. Cheers.
@BrandonLGo1 @DocBastard @The_Ouroboros__ I'm completely trapped in my area. Can't travel out of, or across my country. Lost our jobs and Homes. We're asked to show papers everywhere. Sound familiar? I've always hated doc bastard but I never put him on the same level as Nazis, until now.

This pandemic has taught me one very sad lesson:. Any moron with a computer and an internet connection can read a few headlines and somehow believe he knows more than people who’ve spent a lifetime studying this extremely complex issue.

It’s truly amazing how anti-life the pro-life crowd becomes when it comes to getting the COVID vaccine.

I'm tired of wearing a mask, but I do. I don't like getting shots, but I will. I'm tired of not visiting friends, but I don't. I'm tired of social distancing, but I do. We're ALL sick and tired of this pandemic. That's why we should ALL do everything we can to end it.

I wholerectumly approve the entirety of this thread.
In 1880, Alfred Poulet published a volume on foreign objects found & removed from the human body. The chapter on objects removed from the rectum cites the following; pencils, jars, bottles, pestles, forks, balls, bottles, the tail of a pig, & in one case, 70 snails.

List of doctors I’d vote for before you:.No.Pepper.Evil.J.Demento.Dre.Who.Strange.Marten.
I’m running for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania because America needs a Conservative Republican to cure what’s wrong with Washington. I’m a world-class surgeon, fighter, and health care advocate stepping forward to cure our country’s ills. Watch my announcement video now!

Sad how you think doing everything possible to mitigate a pandemic which has killed millions of people makes one a “sheep”. I rather think of it as caring about others. But no, you do you.

Maybe if you don’t have specific expertise in virology, you should keep your asinine, uninformed, ignorant opinions on where variants come from to yourself.

And don't pretend for one second that this is about your 'freedom'. You comply with seatbelts, traffic lights, speed limits, and stop signs. This is no different. It's not about control - it's about public health, saving lives, and ending this fucking pandemic. Nothing else.
