      Indeed. Adults have bodily autonomy over their own bodies, but they are their children's temporary caretakers. Children are parents' temporary wards, not their property or an extension of themselves. Adults have the right to medically neglect themselves, but not their children.https://twitter.com/doritmi/status/1199705031907233792 …

      I always find it troubling that antivaccine activists claim bodily autonomy in their children’s body as a reason against #vaccines mandates. No, parents, you do not have bodily autonomy in your children. They’re people, not limbs. Really, have you thought that one through?

      A beautiful demknstration of the denialist technique of cherry-picking. It is true, decreased mortality prior to introduction of salk/sabin was due to the iron lung and better medical care of those sickened by vaccine preventable illnesses.

      But what is also true is that now that we have the vaccines we don’t have to put paralyzed children in iron lungs in the first place.

      Exactly. With this trope, antivaxers completely dismiss the severe morbidity and suffering vaccine-preventable diseases caused and the elimination of that suffering by vaccines as unimportant.🙄

      Some people look at food pics, influencers and vacations on Instagram. Others use it to get their "real education" lol.

      The authoritarian zeal of a pseudo-socialist intellectual....using ad hominem attacks and petty jobs to feel powerful...or to cover up the immense guilt they must be feeling having shilled for big-government nanny-state Phascism in the past...totally delusional about real health.

      Oh yeah. That’s it. I feel guilty about routinely saving lives. Your projection is showing. What do you do again?

      Yep. Just like how I feel guilty about saving the lives of women with breast cancer.🙄 I was amused by his use of the term “Phascism,” combining “pharma” and “fascism.” Amusing, particularly to a surgeon who prescribed few drugs, nearly all generics.

          Pretty much all my gotos are generic at this point. Critical care is a bit stodgy I guess. I can’t think of a single branded drug I prescribe offhand. Maybe kcentra, very very rarely Andexxa (I’m not convinced these newer reversal agents are super useful)

          For me, it’s mostly pain meds and antibiotics, and occasionally tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor when a patient needs it before seeing her oncologist.
