Do you need a dentist visit every 6 months? That filling? The data is weak

Getting evidence-based care may be like pulling teeth, researchers suggest.

The first dentists to notice the crowd, and cater to them with good IAQ, respirators, and paid sick time for staff, will have lots of happy patients. That would be a real triumph of evidence-based dentistry....

4 years ago today, Dr. Fauci contradicted Trump's claim that Covid would magically go away before the fall. After that, Fauci was sidelined from public briefings & barred from speaking to press.

During the greatest national crisis of our time, all Trump cared about was his ego

@rbreich Three years ago next month, shortly before the Delta wave got underway in the U.S., President Ice Cream told the country, "If you are fully vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask." Tens of thousands of people, many of them fully vaccinated, needlessly died in that wave. The following year, he falsely claimed that "the pandemic is over." King Daddy Biden has never apologized or corrected himself. Robert, why do you insist on avoiding the truth?

@rbreich Yet another person pushing the bullshit "covid is over" narrative. Biden is doing the same thing Trump did right now. That has never ended. Don't talk like it ever has.

Lying about reality because it is politically inconvenient is never okay, no matter how hip his administration makes it. Not even when the letter by his name is a D instead of an R. All that does is feed denial, & promoting that has real world consequences that will continue to get worse.
