    Ultra Processed Food, and the system that produces it, has overtaken tobacco in terms of health and economic harms, and is also the leading cause of plastic pollution, loss of biodiversity and deforestation, and the second leading cause of emissions. This week @TheLancet

    At some point in all our lives we will be kept alive by a nurse. Morally and practically we should pay them properly. Yet my nursing colleagues have had a decade of real terms pay cuts - I support the #nursingstrike - itโ€™s not about politics itโ€™s about public health. Some sayโ€ฆ

    Michael wasnโ€™t just a rock solid friend, he was an incredibly generous human to everyone he worked with. He basically invented a genre of science broadcasting: experimenting on himself, talking about his medical problems, being a curious human being not an ivory tower expert. ๐Ÿงต

    This will have more impact on the kids that see it than multi-million pound public health campaigns. Iโ€™d love to see makers of ultra processed food banned from sponsoring sport.

    BBC Radio 4 News this morning referred to โ€œviolence because of the death of a black manโ€. Why not say โ€œprotests because of the killing of George Floyd by policeโ€. This was confirmed at autopsy and is not in dispute.

    If youโ€™re worried about the delayed second dose of the COVID vaccines hereโ€™s a thread. I live with my wonderful mother-in-law (below): she is high risk and has had a single dose. She's hoping for another but is worried about a delay. You may feel the same... #VaccineStrategy

    This is not an important study. Neither its findings nor its methods are clear. It is flawed to the point where it has no use. Iโ€™m sympathetic to David Davis not understanding cluster randomisation, bias in trials, t-tests and Kaplan Meier analyses, but...

    This is a very important study on vitamin D and Covid-19. Its findings are incredibly clear. An 80% reduction in need for ICU and a 60% reduction in deaths, simply by giving a very cheap and very safe therapy - calcifediol, or activated vitamin D. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfโ€ฆ

    Several times a day my daughter, brother or wife will announce โ€œCOVID test!โ€ before breaking wind. #anosmia #workingfromhome ๐Ÿ’จ ๐Ÿ‘ƒ

    This morning the nearest walk-through COVID test site to my home in Hackney is...7.5 miles away in Chelsea. A lack of testing was understandable in March but in 2021, as a new highly transmissible variant emerges, it is almost impossible to believe this is where we are.

    Being a doctor with a sick kid is a particular kind of helplessness - but having colleagues like @yasmin_baki and the whole team at @uclh this morning made it much easier - they were just magnificent.
