Donald Jones DDS+FollowAre Kids Being Rushed Into Gender Care?The latest HHS report is throwing serious shade at the American Academy of Pediatrics for pushing medical interventions like puberty blockers and surgeries for kids with gender dysphoria—despite mounting evidence that this 'affirmation-only' approach might do more harm than good. Other countries are already pulling back, but the AAP is doubling down. Why aren’t we hitting pause and listening to the science? This debate is heating up, and it’s not going away anytime soon. #GenderCare #Pediatrics #HealthDebate #YouthHealth #ScienceMatters #Health1016Share
nheath+FollowFDA’s COVID Vax Move Sparks OutrageThe FDA just dropped a bomb: COVID vaccines might only be available for people over 65 or those at high risk. That means healthy adults under 65 could be out of luck until more studies are done. CT health experts are calling this 'borderline unethical'—especially since the vax has been studied like crazy. People are worried about losing their shot at protection, and honestly, the irony isn’t lost on anyone. What do you think: smart move or total misstep? #COVID19 #VaccineNews #FDA #HealthDebate #Connecticut #Health5682Share
Lori Elliott+FollowMammograms: More Harm Than Help?Just read a wild deep dive: mammography screening might not actually save lives like we thought. Turns out, the benefits are way smaller than advertised, and the risks—like overdiagnosis, unnecessary treatments, and long-term anxiety—are way bigger. Some countries are even recommending ditching routine mammograms because they could do more harm than good. If you’ve ever felt weird about screening, you’re not alone. This really flips the script on what we’ve been told! #HealthDebate #WomensHealth #Mammogram #Overdiagnosis #MedicalControversy #Health7057Share
reyesbrian+FollowNovavax Drama: FDA Throws a CurveballThe FDA just hit pause on fully approving Novavax’s COVID-19 vaccine, asking for a whole new clinical trial—even though it’s already been used under emergency authorization. This is the only traditional protein-based COVID shot in the US, and now there’s buzz that ALL vaccines might face stricter rules. Experts are worried this could slow down updates and leave us with outdated shots. Is this just politics or a real safety move? #Novavax #COVID19 #VaccineNews #FDA #HealthDebate #Health31Share
Alicia Williams+FollowProcessed Foods: Worth the Risk?Just read a wild study claiming ultra-processed foods (think chips, sodas, and packaged snacks) could actually shorten your life. But here’s the twist: not everyone’s buying it. Some experts say it’s better to eat processed food than go hungry, especially with food scarcity being real for many. Still, college students are side-eyeing anything with mystery chemicals. Would you ditch your favorite snacks if it meant living longer? #FoodForThought #ProcessedFoods #HealthDebate #Nutrition #Wellness #Health101Share
Dr. Ryan Newton+FollowShould Men Do Mammograms? Hot Debate!Big debate brewing: experts say male health workers should be allowed to do mammograms to help with staff shortages, but some politicians are pushing back, saying it's too intimate. The Society of Radiographers argues the job isn’t about gender—it’s about skill, and letting men in could cut wait times. Vacancy rates are high, so is it time to rethink who can do these exams? Would you be comfortable with a male mammographer? #HealthDebate #Mammogram #Healthcare #GenderRoles #NHS #Health20Share
sabrinawhitaker+FollowWould You Drink Creeper Milk?So, Minecraft's new green 'Creeper Milk' is making waves—not just for its wild color, but because it's dyed with petroleum-based chemicals that are about to be banned. The FDA is pushing for natural alternatives, but is this just overdue regulation or an overreaction? Would you let your kids try this, or is the nostalgia not worth the risk? Let's talk: should tech-inspired foods get a pass if they're just for fun? #FoodTech #GamingCulture #HealthDebate #SyntheticDyes #Minecraft #Games10Share
Michelle Chen+FollowNovavax Drama: What’s Up With FDA?The FDA is throwing a curveball at Novavax, the only traditional protein-based COVID vaccine in the US, by demanding a new clinical trial before full approval. This surprise move has everyone wondering if Pfizer and Moderna are next in line for extra hoops. With shifting policies and political drama, the future of COVID shots just got a lot murkier. Anyone else getting déjà vu from the early vaccine days? #Novavax #COVID19 #VaccineNews #FDA #HealthDebate #Health20Share
nathan87+FollowSlovakia Hits Pause on COVID ShotsSlovakia just put the brakes on buying more COVID vaccines while they double-check safety claims. The PM, who’s always been skeptical about vaccines, says there are concerns about unlisted ingredients and high DNA levels in the shots. This move follows advice from a known vaccine critic, and now the country’s waiting for a science review before spending millions more. Meanwhile, critics are calling this a distraction from bigger political issues. Wild, right? #Slovakia #COVID19 #Vaccines #News #HealthDebate #Health100Share
Denise Gill+Follow☀️ Sun vs. Supplements: The Vitamin D DebateOkay, get this: A Korean study compared sunshine and vitamin D supplements. Turns out, soaking up rays didn't boost vitamin D levels, but popping a 1,000 I.U. D3 pill did. Sunlight isn't cutting it due to lifestyle and environmental factors. Experts suggest taking 5,000 I.U. for the best results. So, are supplements the real MVP here? Thoughts? 🤔 #VitaminD #HealthDebate #VitaminD #HealthDebate #Health120Share
