I’ve been seeing a lot of people quoting stats that show more athletes died in the last year than have died in the last 38 years. Is this true? No, let’s chat about it. A 🧵👇🏻
Dylan has been harassed and bullied for simply existing.
It really breaks my heart to see a doctor bullying her too. This behavior is antithetical to a physician’s oath.
Dr. Malik, this is really unbecoming of a physician. Please, do better.
Hey, I’m not a pink-haired gender studies major, I’m a doctor.
I graduated med school with around $300k in student loan debt. I’ve been paying it off every month for almost 9 years. I currently owe $354k.
Thanks to PSLF I’ll have it forgiven in 17 months. Thanks Biden 🥰
Biden's illegal decision to forgive student loan debt is a slap in the face to every blue-collar worker.
Unlike pink-haired gender studies majors, these men and women spent years working hard. And now, Biden is forcing them to pay for someone else's useless degree.
I will not apologize for displaying my pronouns on my social media bios or on my ID badge at work. As a physician it’s my duty to ensure marginalized patients feel safe and comfortable.
Manufactured outrage over another person’s pronouns is hardly becoming of a physician.
@MdBreathe
I’m curious how your friend knew the documentation status of everyone in the ER.
Did they violate HIPAA by accessing their medical records?
Or did they make a broad generalization based upon their appearance?
I’d love to know
As a doctor I’m so tired of this shit.
These folks would suck on an anthrax laden, smallpox covered plague rat just to own the libs and protect their “freedoms”
We’re not going to make it through the next pandemic bc of people like Liz
Or does he know exactly what he’s doing. That by using this list he can over inflate athlete deaths, stoke more fear and disinformation about the vaccines and thus continue his grift? I’ll let you be the judge. End 🧵
@drdrew
Drew, you’re a doctor... This man sustained a blow to the chest. You know what commotio Cordis is, yet you make this tweet to suggest it was due to the vaccine. This is super shameful.
Them: omg, you have a 🏳️🌈 and pronouns in your bio! No one cares 😡
Their bio:
MAGA 🇺🇸 🦅 freedom 💥 loving patriot! 1776! Unvaxxed ❌ 💉 pureblood 🩸 allergic to 🌽 my other wife is an AR-15, censored by the deep state, had diarrhea at an Arby’s once 💩 🍔
@jewelz71RN
@MattWallace888
He didn’t force you to do anything. If patients died under your care then that’s on you. Kind of bold to announce your medical malpractice on social media.
“You’re such an arrogant doctor!”
No, I’m a frustrated doctor. The constant barrage of people with 0 medical expertise spreading misinfo (which is actively harming my patients) is exhausting and demoralizing.
Okay let’s have this discussion
Kevin refused to engage in a discussion with me because he ultimately admitted he didn’t know much about the topic. He begged me not to share the DMs of him admitting this. I agreed bc I could tell he wasn’t doing well and going through a lot.
Imagine a doctor referring to his patient as a “7-jabber.” Then attributing a chronic cough to their vaccine, thus anchoring on a diagnosis and likely missing the actual cause of their chronic cough.
I’d find a new doctor, but that’s just me.
“Sudden cardiac death in athletes is the leading cause of medical death in this subgroup, with an estimated incidence of 1 in 500 to 1 in 80 000 athletes per year”
This article is from 2015. Just because it’s new to you doesn’t mean it’s new…
Some people might not know this, but you can look up how much doctors make from pharma. The sunshine act requires us to log all payments which are publicly available on
So let’s go through a little exercise 🧵
Y’all can’t have it both ways. You can’t say the CDC is corrupt, untrustworthy and hiding vaccine adverse event data from the public, then tout CDC data that examines a vaccine safety signal. Let’s chat about this. A 🧵👇🏻
Looks like the “conspiracy theorists” and “anti-vaxxers” were right again
The CDC is now going to investigate the link between the C19 vaccine and strokes
Too little, too late!
Peter McCullough’s raison d’être has been “courageous discourse.” I asked him to have an open discussion with me to defend his flawed analysis on SCD in athletes. How did he respond? He blocked me.
I might have lived through a different pandemic than Martin here, but I think mobile morgue trucks, mass graves, overwhelmed hospitals with makeshift ICUs, and having families say their goodbyes over iPads were far more disturbing.
"One of the most disturbing images of the Covid-19 pandemic was when a teacher .. forced a mask on a crying toddler ..
In some ways, the U.S. government .. treated all of us like toddlers, compelling us to endure draconian Covid measures" -
@HRaleighspeaks
Pete Buttigieg should call Chasten his partner, not his husband. The two of them may not like it, but truth is not determined by what is popular. It is determined by what makes sense according to nature and nature’s God.
So you have to ask yourself why on earth Did
@P_McCulloughMD
make such an egregious error in his analysis? Is the self proclaimed most published doctor in the history of the world incompetent? Sloppy?
That’s right, he used an antivaxx blog with no inclusion/exclusion criteria, structure or systematic approach. But did he apply his own criteria to filter out the noise from this list? No
@loganclarkhall
State enforced homosexuality…
You heard it from Logan. Y’all are gay now, thems the rules. It’s illegal to be straight.
If you’re caught being straight you will be forced to sing “Don’t Rain On My Parade” in drag.
Resistance is futile.
Remember, the reason
@MakisMD
has so much time to just sit on twitter and harass people all day is because he can no longer practice medicine. He lost his license for harassing female colleagues.
The audacity of this guy casting aspersions…
On every TV commercial about any prescription drug, they always say the side effects, and ingredients are known.
We have no idea what is in Covid vaccines.
And they refuse to acknowledge the deadly side effects.
It’s time to force them to talk.
I can’t imagine how sad someone’s life must be that they actually composed this tweet and published it for the word to see. I really do feel sorry for people like this.
@Doctor_Eric_B
May come as a shock to you but you're NOT a "dog dad" unless you actually somehow miraculously BIRTHED or helped conceive that dog of yours. Just one of the MANY misinformations on your profile.
If you look at this list many people are older than 35, many aren’t athletes, and some didn’t even die. And not all that died had died from SCD. Here are some examples.
@GodPlaysDjent
No he’s not. Dylan is a woman. The only reason he asked that question is to drum up transphobic comments. Just looked at his replies in that thread and tell me he was being genuine.
fun fact: you are not entitled to anyone’s (even a celebrity’s) health information.
They owe you absolutely nothing.
Honestly, the level of entitlement to think you somehow deserve this information is insane!
Look, the
@iamjamiefoxx
situation is now weird. The guy is an Oscar winner, a huge movie star, he's been hospitalized over a month, and no one will even vaguely outline what's wrong or where he became ill (on set? elsewhere?)
At this point the silence is just feeding rumors...
So clearly using this list as your comparator group is inappropriate. There’s far too much heterogeneity and the majority of the list doesn’t match the criteria set forth by the other paper. A lot of people > 35 y/o, many weren’t athletes, many didn’t have SCD
So whenever you see an incredible statistic like this you should ask yourself where did it come from? In this case it came from a letter to the editor in the Scandinavian Journal of immunology co authored by
@P_McCulloughMD
I’m not a petty person, I work with med students and can tell when someone is not doing well. I’m not going to share the DMs where you admitted that you don’t know what your talking about. I’m going to be the bigger person here. But Kevin, get some help.
Friendly reminder you can look up how much US doctors make from big pharma.
Since becoming an attending I’ve raked in a grand total of $367.27 from pharma, 100% in “food and beverage.”
$27.73 of that was from Pfizer. If memory serves correctly it was Panda Express.
Because H5N1 isn’t new…
It was discovered in 1996
The US has stockpiles of vaccines against strains of H5N1 and other avian influenza viruses like H7N9
The threat to humans is low, but we should still be prepared.
Not everything you don’t understand is a big conspiracy
How’s it possible that the
@US_FDA
has already approved a ‘H5N1 Bird Flu Vaccine’ for a possible outbreak?
Could you please let us know
@CDCgov
…are you guys Psychics?
How’s it possible to have back to back ‘Pandemics’?
@RepMTG
@RepMTG
perhaps you can use your clinical acumen to investigate why this man is wearing a cervical collar and how that’s related to a stroke caused by the vaccine.
The fact that people are still blaming Matthew Perry’s death on the covid vaccine and not the general anesthesia inducing level of ketamine in his system shows just how hopeless the conspiracy theory addled brain is. Sad really.
THREAD – The Great COVID Ventilator Death Cover-up
Tens of thousands of Americans died after being placed on mechanical ventilators in spring 2020. It’s long past time we got real answers as to how many were killed this way. 1/
He then blocked me and continues to lie about me. Kevin, you were already booted from med school for this type of behavior. I even tried to counsel you that continued behavior like this will risk your career. It brings me no joy to say I was right.
People like this don’t understand the degree of trauma and PTSD that survivors of cardiac arrest go through. Perhaps Damar doesn’t want to discuss his trauma on TV. Perhaps he’s still processing what happened to him. He doesn’t owe you anything, Stew.
Strahan to Hamlin: “How did doctors describe what happened to you?”
Hamlin: “Um…that’s something I wanna stay away from.”
We were told exactly what happened to Damar, non-stop on national TV for weeks.
And now he doesn't want to talk about it?
His "non-profit" got paid…
I told Kevin he shouldn’t be going on Tucker Carlson and writing op-eds about things he doesn’t understand. He was extremely dismissive and insulting. As an attending I tried to warn him that this behavior is unbecoming of a med student and can get him in trouble at school.
If people discredit my evidenced based criticism of anti vaccine nonsense solely on the fact I have pronouns in my bio, then they never had a genuine desire to learn something or change their views. It’s a sad excuse, nothing more.
@Doctor_Eric_B
Agree with you 💯. But I will share with you that putting “your pronouns” in your header immediately disqualifies you as anything close to objective in the minds of at least half the country.
I’ve already told Kevin, on multiple occasions, that I didn’t sign him up for any spam calls. I have been doxxed and harassed more times than I can count on social media and would never inflict that on someone else, even someone with whom I have strong disagreement
Ah, some time traveling vaccine goblin must have come in the middle of night and added pericarditis and myocarditis to all my medical textbooks. Damn you, Pfizer!!!
Now if
@P_McCulloughMD
is going to make a direct comparison to this study population he is going to have to stick to the strict definitions as outlined above. So which peer reviewed source or official SCD registry did he use for his comparison?
@MdBreathe
So rather than answer my question you (checks notes) mock my pronouns. Would you like another chance to answer my question, Dr. Boden? Perhaps this time in a more professional manner?
Please take the time to read this post and then follow
@dr_kkjetelina
This is a well written, articulate and evidenced based rebuttal to a lot of the AV nonsense floating around out there.
I was more than willing to have a debate with him about covid, he became unsettled and began making a list of demands which I agreed to. But he ultimately stated he didn’t have the level of mastery needed and would need months of prep time.
I’m watching people with 0 clinical experience play Monday morning quarterback and tell us how we mishandled the treatment of critically ill covid patients. Yet not a single one of them will have a discussion with an actual frontline doctor to defend their claims. Curious 🧐
I remember calling a woman and telling her that her mother and father had both died from COVID. I can still hear the grief in her voice to this day.
But yeah, the worst thing to come out of the pandemic is our shoes don’t make clickly clacks on the floor any more 🙁
Now, I think we can all agree that if you’re going to make an apples to apples comparison between sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) in athletes from two time periods, the populations should be similar. So how did
@P_McCulloughMD
make this comparison?
@CNN
I didn’t even have to click on the comments to know there would be people blaming the increase in deaths on the COVID vaccines despite the study taking place during a time when there were no COVID vaccines…
Hey
@DiedSuddenly_
you blocked
@thereal_truther
for asking this question, so I’ll ask it.
Where did you get the footage for the pulmonary embolectomy that you claimed was due to the vaccine? Can you confirm it was not an unrelated video from 2019?
“You’re such a big pharma shill! They’re paying you handsomely to push the evil clot shot j@ß 💀 💉”
My brother in Christ, I’m 36 years old, still rent my apartment and have 350k in student loan debt. WTF are they paying me with?
Just at the Hospital/Fracture Clinic with my Mother and Security wants to remove me for not wearing a mask. Lol. I will NOT comply. Let’s see who wins this one…I’ll keep you posted.
Here’s the money I’ve made from Pfizer over the last 6 years. This was from one drug rep lunch, pre covid.
Feel free to go to and see how much I make from pharma.
@Doctor_Eric_B
@P_McCulloughMD
What’s your paycheck from Pfizer look like “doc”?
Y O U are spreading misinfo and it has to stop!!!
People are DYING - STOP trying to tell us they are not
“To Do No Harm” has fallen on deaf ears I see
The Pfizer Director of Worldwide R&D and MrNA Scientific Planning is caught on video discussing mutating the virus to change the vaccines & how Covid is a cash cow!
Pfizer took BILLIONS of federal 💰💰💰!
Our Covid Select Subcommittee MUST investigate!
As a hospitalist I admit a lot of fall patients. I always ask if they’re on anti platelets or anti coagulants. It’s standard of care, not a conspiracy.
When I was taken by ambulance to the local ER two days ago, after a fall, I was asked again and again - by the EMTs, the RN checking me in, the ER Dr -: ‘are you on blood thinners’? As if it was now a routine question. Never has been routine before as far as I know.
@RickScofield77
@SpencerJCox
Why? Can you show me actual evidence that cardiac arrests are increasing in athletes compared to a historical baseline. Peter didn’t do that. Can you?
I wonder if
@kevinnbass
or
@jeffreyatucker
over at
@brownstoneinst
will post an updated version of this tweet letting their followers know about this retraction? My guess is no, and that says a lot.
The interesting thing about leaving fake online reviews for me is people don’t understand what a hospitalist is.
I don’t see patients via appointments, there are no scheduled visits, I don’t have a staff.
Most patients are acutely ill, so I defer vaccination to outpatient
Syncope is one of the most common medical diagnoses I treat as a hospitalist. Just because you’ve never seen it before doesn’t mean it’s new and doesn’t mean it’s vaccine related. Seriously, this is getting pathetic.
I care about all of my patients.
Trans patients often face many health care disparities and barriers receiving care.
By displaying my pronouns I am creating a more welcoming clinical environment and removing some of those barriers. This is about respect for another human.
I don’t want to hear the conservative pearl clutching over protecting
women’s sports when they think it’s acceptable that a 10 y/o girl should be forced to carry her rapist’s baby to term.
Y’all don’t actually give a shit about women.
Me: posts on social media
Anti-vaxxers: omg no real doctor posts this much online, you’re a paid actor!!!
Me: stops posting on social media
Anti-vaxxers: why so quiet doc? Did you die suddenly?! Too ashamed to show your face?!?
Me:
@DrAseemMalhotra
@elonmusk
Oh yeah? Well the biggest and most photographed celebrity on Jupiter told me the vaccines are amazing and that you’re wrong, Aseem! See how easy it is to just make stuff up?
