The paper that started the MMR-autism scare was retracted and its author was struck off.
The myth has outlived the fraud by more than 15 years.

RFK Jr joins his friend Andrew Wakefield, who faked a study for pay to claim the MMR vaccine caused autism and lost his license because of unethical acts including performing invasive exams of children without consent. #DrainTheSwamp

The sum total of evidence that IV abx must be used for IE is:
1) uncontrolled case series of oral sulfa drugs (not trim-sulfa, sulfa alone), tetracycline, or erythromycin from the 1940s-50s
2) an opinion from Max Finland in a review article in NEJM in 1954, citing those series

Prior to this yr, the last time the US had a death from measles was 2015. There have been 3 deaths this yr. This is an almost completely vaccine preventable dis & the drop in vaccination rate, explosion in cases, and now deaths is a failure of leadership. washingtonpost.com/health/20…

Super Sky Point to Randolph Mantooth, the man who brought to life Emergency’s great Johnny Gage. Always my favorite character on a show that ranks among the 70s’ most iconic primetime dramas. St. Peter, better have the Ringer’s lactate ready. He’ll know what to do with it. #RIP

Don't mess with college professors.

The 1977 CBS NFL Today intro is fucking spectacular. The plays get progressively more illegal and fucked up to the point I was half expecting some guy to get eaten by a lion on the field. It’s like a Naked Gun bit. Do yourself a favor and watch this.

I'll always remember Chuck Norris as the man who changed the course of dodgeball history by casting the deciding vote that allowed Average Joes to play in the championship of the Las Vegas International Dodgeball Open where they upset the heavily favored Globo Gym Purple Cobras.
RIP. 🙏
