The BMJ, once a bastion of evidence-based medicine, has become disturbingly susceptible to publishing biased "investigations" that feed antivax narratives. Its latest report on VAERS by Jennifer Block, who in the past has defended Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop and whose history is not one of supporting science, is just another example of this deterioration.

Echocardiography, or echo for short, is a key diagnostic test used by cardiologists to assess the heart. It utilizes high-frequency sound waves, also known as ultrasound, to generate images of the beating heart. Unlike other imaging modalities, echo is non-invasive and does not involve radiation exposure. During an echo, a transducer is moved around the chest area to direct sound waves towards the heart.

“Thanksgiving.” Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines the word, first, as “the act of giving thanks.” Second, it’s “a prayer of expressing gratitude.” And, third, the word means a public acknowledgment or celebration of divine goodness. We each have our own stories about how a loved one’s life has ended. If we’re lucky, that beloved person had a good death: in sleep, perhaps, or simply of old age with no hospital events or trauma.
