I see that Marty Makary is in the news. I just wrote about his PragerU interview. If you want to see how wildly ignorant he seems to be, have a look. www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/...
His interview on PragerU (view count: 3.4 million) is filled with preposterous falsehoods meant to reveal him to be a singular freethinker who asks questions no one has dared to ask before. On the topic of diabetes—and keep in mind that he is a doctor who specializes in a surgical intervention for type 1 diabetes—he boldly states that diabetics are simply given insulin and that no one tells them to try lowering their sugar levels by watching what they eat. Has he been living under a rock for most of his life? Earlier, he rhetorically asked how to even teach ethics to doctors in training. The interviewer turned the question back at him: “Are they even taught these things?” His incredible answer? “I’m not aware of it.” The School of Medicine at his own university, Johns Hopkins, has a first-year course for its medical students literally called “Foundations of Public Health: Epidemiology, Ethics & Health Care.” To claim that medical students are not taught ethics is either a gonzo lie or a sign of a disqualifying lack of knowledge.

Just a reminder of one of the things Joe Biden did for us last Pride. He pardoned all the LGBT+ service members wrongly convicted. We've gone from this, to a President and administration that seeks to ban LGBT+ service members all together. The two sides are NOT the same. #Pride #LGBT
STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN ON THE PARDON OF LGBTQI+ SERVICE MEMBERS WRONGLY CONVICTED

Today, I am righting an historic wrong by using my clemency authority to pardon many former service members who were convicted simply for being themselves. Our Nation's service members stand on the frontlines of freedom, and risk their lives in order to defend our country. Despite their courage and great sacrifice, thousands of LGBTQI+ service members were forced out of the military because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Some of these patriotic Americans were subject to court-martial, and have carried the burden of this great injustice for decades.

As Commander in Chief, I am committed to maintaining the finest fighting force in the world. That means making sure that every member of our military is safe and respected - so they can focus on their mission.

This is about dignity, decency, and ensuring the culture of our Armed Forces reflect the values that make us an exceptional nation. We have a sacred obligation to all of our service members - including our brave LGBTQI+ service members: to properly prepare and equip them when they are sent into harm's way, and to care for them and their families when they return home. Today we are making progress in that pursuit.

In the media’s rush to cover the nomination of Casey Means to the position of Surgeon General, one important name was neglected. Dr. Vinay Prasad is the FDA’s new vaccine chief. His arrogance and contrarianism are worrying. My latest for @mcgilloss.bsky.social www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/...
But the day before the announcement, Dr. Vinay Prasad was revealed to be the new director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER). Prasad is a man who built a career out of being an inflammatory, outspoken contrarian. He compared the U.S.’ public health measures against COVID-19 to Nazi Germany; now, he joins an authoritarian regime that continues to draw comparisons to the darkest days of the 20th century, while his boss, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., remains a leader of the modern anti-vaccine movement.
 
He doesn’t seem to have a problem with that. Last November, Prasad addressed the White House COVID advisor on X, writing, “God gave people two arms… One to vote for Donald Trump, and the other to give thumbs up to RFK Jr.”
