What does Hollywood get right about space, and where does it miss the mark? I sat down with @RealDoctorMike to break down ABC’s 9-1-1 space plotline and separate science fiction from reality.

Incredible keynote discussion with Doctor Mike at #CHEST2026!
Key takeaway: In an era crowded with online health misinformation, trusted clinicians have a duty to communicate science with clarity, empathy, and authenticity. Bridging the gap between peer-reviewed evidence and the public has never been more vital.

"Meet patients where they are." 📱🩺
Doctor Mike’s keynote at #CHEST2026 underscored how vital it is for pulmonologists and intensivists to actively demystify respiratory health for patients. Translating trials into everyday health literacy saves lives long before the ICU doors.

I think most people know not to trust everything you see on TV, but if you’ve ever wondered what ABC’s 9-1-1 got right and very very wrong about space travel, watch me get into it with @RealDoctorMike.

A passenger went into anaphylactic shock over the Atlantic and the plane had no EpiPen. Dr Mike Varshavski improvised with the epinephrine meant for cardiac arrest, then told the story on YouTube. Chuck Schumer's office called him to push for EpiPens on planes.

This debate taught me more about professionalism and dealing with the disinformation that infests our discourse than 5.5 years of MBBS. I try to emulate @RealDoctorMike's example as much as I can in balancing honesty with patience and kindness.

Dr. Mike reveals why the surge in unregulated peptide use is secretly endangering your health
"BPC157, probably the most famous peptide in this scenario, the agency found only one small human study relevant to that use, a meeting abstract, not a full study publication involving 53 people in which it was administered as an enema"
"The FDA found no randomized controlled human trials establishing the safety or effectiveness of injecting the peptide for tendon, ligament, or muscle recovery. For KPV, TB500, and Matsi, the FDA reported that it could not identify human exposure data at all"
"Think about what this means for a second. The scientists could not find any adequate published evidence showing what happens when the substances are administered to humans in the first place"
"Peptides can aggregate, degrade, trigger immune reactions or contain impurities. Even if an animal study uses something called BPC157, that does not guarantee that every vial being sold online is chemically identical to what was studied"
Dr. Mike Varshavski retweeted
If you are using or planning to use PEPTIDES you should definitely watch this video.
Doctor exposes the truth about PEPTIDES.
They’re being sold like Wolverine juice. Faster healing. Less inflammation. More muscle.
The most famous one, BPC-157, was not reviewed for tendon repair.
It was reviewed for ulcerative colitis.
FDA scientists found one small human study.
A meeting abstract.
53 people.
Given as an enema.
No randomized trials for injecting it to fix muscle, tendon, or ligament.
For TB-500 and MOTS-c, they couldn’t even find adequate human exposure data.
Scientists recommended against all 7 peptides.
A newly seated committee voted to recommend 6 of them anyway.
That was not FDA approval.
That was a compounding list.
Podcasts will tell you it’s been cleared.
It hasn’t.

"As a pediatrician with more than 30 years of caring for children, I have thoroughly reviewed the case investigation information and sadly can confirm that there were two recent measles-associated deaths in Lancaster County, which were reported to the CDC’s measles response team early Tuesday morning.
DOH’s Epidemiology team thoroughly investigated and verified both individuals tested positive for measles. The information was not reported to the public until the results of the epidemiological investigations were confirmed.
Under state law, PA DOH is not required to report deaths to coroners.
Our staff have regular meetings with professional staff at the CDC, including additional meetings specifically about these cases — in fact, as recently as this afternoon. I deeply appreciate the supportive working relationship between the PA DOH and CDC professional staff.
As a pediatrician, public health professional, and mother, my heart goes out to the impacted families and I have, and will continue to do, everything in my power to protect their confidentiality."
- Dr. Debra Bogen, Secretary of Health
Governor Shapiro's unseemly rush to Lancaster County to convene a national press conference and his giddy delight in announcing two measles deaths was a morose commentary on the contemporary political dialogue. The performance was a replay of the Democrats' COVID playbook: fearmongering, misinformation, finger-pointing, and the weaponization of infectious disease fears for political gain.
The announcement appears to have been premature, and the deaths may even have been altogether fabricated by one of the Governor's hopeful staffers. The Lancaster County Coroner says that it has no record of any measles deaths. State law requires that all measles deaths be reported to the coroner.
Governor Shapiro shattered tradition and violated standard public health policy by refusing to share information with the County Health Department or CDC.
Since I have been in office, CDC has had a superb record of cooperation, information sharing, and professionalism with blue- and red-state governors and health officials. Those collaborations have resulted in effective control of the global measles outbreak in this country.
Governor Shapiro got his headlines. He correctly gambled that the slavish mainstream media would dutifully amplify his scolding without any effort to check his facts.
