#medtwitter — Public Fediverse posts

6) But it isn't herbal tea, it's a substance that may cause side effects, addiction, and hospitalization. The wellness industry leans into the "safety halo" we perceive around plants -misleading!

Before I followed #MedTwitter, I started with #MedBlr in Tumblr which has been a sort of refuge for me during my medical education and training years.. MedBlr is still fun and engaging. I'm still there.

Now, I'm on the #Fediverse and it already feels like a new home 💗😊

Hello friends on my phone!

I wonder if other #medtwitter (RIP) participants feel like they are living in a simulation, or is it just me?

Going to try to recapture some of the old magic that was #MedTwitter and #SciTwitter back in the day!

I'm Adam, an internal medicine physician, historian, author, and artificial intelligence researcher. I study how people and machines make decisions together. Great to meet everyone!

Nothing says 'the future of medicine' like an AI softly whispering your symptoms back to you in medicalese so your doctor finally takes you seriously. Not a tech miracle — just sad commentary on how humans treat patients. 🤖🥴 #medtwitter #AI #ActuallyListen

Good question, would make a good legal/IT article or blog subject.
Lots of folks from #medtwitter went to #bluesky #medsky instead of #medmastodon
I wonder how long before Bluesky has to bend the knee since it is US based.

There is a widespread outbreak of #norovirus, a GI virus that causes projectile vomiting & profuse diarrhea usually lasting 24-48 hrs. Wastewater levels nationwide are high. It’s miserable & incredibly contagious.

We're just migrated from another instance, so here is our (re)introduction:

Neurofrontiers is a bilingual blog about interesting neuroscience topics that tries to be accessible to the broader public while still maintaining scientific accuracy. It's run by a team of two people: a computational neuroscientist, and a graphic designer. We think that being on social media allows us to stay up-to-date with the most recent discussions in science and hope to be able to connect with like-minded individuals.

#medsky is already more lively and useful than #medmastodon for physicians who left #medtwitter
#mastodon or a fork of it could be more user friendly. The #linux vs #mac analogy is apt.
I worry that US based #bluesky is vulnerable to the same pressure to obey in advance like the #washingtonpost , #latimes and #msnbc.

Yup, not sure if they all stayed at the Nazi bar but #medmastodon and #medthreads are a shadow of the discussions at #medtwitter

measles, mumps, rubella, polio, and the party of plague

One of the many, many terrible things Trump has pledged to do is revoke all funding for schools that require childhood vaccinations. The Party of Plague will bring back every old plague it can – measles, mumps, rubella, polio, whatever.

Since that’s been forgot again, I wanted on this Labour Day to bring back an essay I wrote on Twitter, back when it was actually Twitter and not X, Elon Musk’s fascist disinformation and propaganda fountain, because this exactly is what is prompting Trump to make these kinds of promises.

If you like, you might also give a look the essay I wrote in September of 2021, wherein I talked about how the Republican Party and the MAGAt movement would pretend that nothing bad happened under Trump, disowning 2021 entirely. It’s not the same, but it’s related, and I think underappreciated at the time.

63 days remain.

Steve Silberman – @stevesilberman · 6 October 2021
Mind-blowing phrase from a right-wing doctor in my inbox this morning pushing ivermectin for what he calls the Wuhan virus: “The tyranny of evidence-based medicine.” #medtwitter #COVID19

Fundamentalism has been railing against empiricism – the idea that you can learn about the world through observation/evidence and make improvements based on what you learn – since before I started following/studying them.

In that context, this is predictable.

Why?

Mostly because their worldview is contradicted by it. but also because their view religiously and culturally is that truth is inherited from a better past, handed down from ultimate authority, maintained through authority. “received knowledge,” essentially… from god.

And they like it that way. any change is a threat to their authority as holders of that received truth. so of course they push against it, obviously.

(Many of them say/said western culture lost its way with the Italian renaissance – because that marked a “turning from god.”)

Mind you: it’s all bullshit. their beliefs are much younger than the renaissance, centuries younger, no matter how much they insist it’s eternal unchanged truth.

But it’s bullshit they believe.

And one of the reasons – one of the attractions – is that you don’t have to think. just react.

Andrew the racist dickhead Sullivan may be a racist dickhead, but he made a cogent observation years ago about his own side: most conservatives really don’t like having to think.

Whoever wrote Frank Burns in MASH and had him say, “I don’t think, I know,” was, sure, setting him up for a punchline (“I don’t think you know either”) but like a lot of good jokes, it’s pointing at a reality.

Frank Burns was a Christian conservative, in the text.

He didn’t want to have to think. not critically. he just wanted to already know – or be handed down the “truth,” whatever that was, which he’d accept as long as it didn’t offend other received “truth.”

Or his wallet.

(of course.)

So as surprising as this “doctor” railing against “evidence-based medicine” might seem to be, it’s really kinda… not.

It’s bad, fuck, of course it is.

But it’s not surprising.

It’s what they are.

If reality offends received knowledge, it’s not received knowledge at fault. it’s reality that’s the problem – and which must be denied or attacked.

And in that context, all it takes is the right kind of evil opportunism to make a crisis into a disaster.

And with the GOP more than happy to become a literal party of sedition and plague to keep power, well.

The crisis became a disaster, exactly as you’d expect – if you’re willing to think about it.

Which they aren’t. Not if they can help it.

It’s genuinely two different theories of knowledge at war here. if you wonder how they can reject reality so consistently and in real time, well, this is how.

They have lots of practice at it. So it’s easy.

And if you’re wondering whether the explicitly fascist slogan of “reject modernity, embrace tradition” is connected? Yes. It is. It is exactly the same thing, lightly rephrased just with more explicit emphasis on racism and patriarchy, not that either faction is light on either.
