The cartwheels we do to explain why Trump was actually pro-vax

I am hopeful but ultimately ready for disappointment

Agree, welfare policies attract poor population. Phoenix was red and then welfare policies slowly turning it purple.

Men won't buy this shit, so who the hell actually buys this now?

How does this work anyway, do they pay for all your campaign expenses etc? Because I can think of pedes just taking advantage of it and then totally go DINO

I'm not bashing your ideals, but there's a place for medicines until life changes and discipline can set in before they show up in my ER.

You'd also be surprised how many people treat an ER like a walk in clinic

Just tell paypal you're black and can't get ID because racism

I like your motivation. You remind me of 3rd year med students full of idealism ready to change the world. Meanwhile, I just admitted 3 patients for dka that were only on metformin just this week. They're always new diagnosed diabetics with A1c 10+ that refuse to start insulin because they think they can fix themselves with life changes

Joking aside, even if you expatriate yourself, the US government taxes you for life.

Are you saying your doctor diagnosed you with a bacterial infection and didn't give antibiotics?

Metformin makes your body more sensitive to the insulin it already produces to lower blood sugar. Yes it's a temporizing measure like all medicine, but it takes tremendous willpower to resist excess carbohydrates or calories for that matter.

They can tell you to work out and eat right just the same, but they ultimately have no control on patient compliance. Insulin and metformin are prescribed to keep diabetics from going DKA or developing acute organ failure and then hospitalized which is exponentially more expensive to treat. When patients don't eat right nor take insulin or any prescribed meds for that matter, chalk that up to personal responsibility and Darwinism.

So now we're anti doctors?

With a demented president and special ed cabinet, it feels like these are talking heads for show and someone else is making all the decisions

We don't have an Asian hate problem, we are having a black supremecy problem

Hospitalist here, what's interesting is that covid seems to have wiped out all other viruses let alone flu e.g. other run of the mill cold viruses. There weren't vaccines for those, but now we have this. Regardless of how you feel about this new vaccine, it'll be interesting to see how the next flu season turns out.

Wait, other countries kneel because racism too??? I will laugh when African countries follow suit.

I know you're trying to be witty but they would be fine with a vaccine passport to vote regardless. Illegals will just forge theirs

You'd be surprised how many come out generally antivax around here

Reading these posts, the right is officially anti-vax and I am a minority in it. Downvotes proves our own reddit echo chamber.

All this does is promote the fact that if one can draw enough attention, black people can get away with anything. We are teetering on black supremacy.

All she has to do is act like it's a conspiracy theory because they own law enforcement. Even if we prove laundering they will get away with some "no intent" bullshit or something

Fuck it, why don't we just invade Africa and make it an ultra conservative paradise because it seems like they don't want to stay in their own country anyway.

School is the problem. It's necessary but also needs an overhaul

Can someone please link that 80% statistic?
