Dr. Jonathan N. Stea

I think you should run out and buy 20 more copies of my book. That’ll show me.

That happens sometimes. Be careful out there.

It’s wild living in the Information Age and the Dark Age at the same time.

The first rule of conspiracy club: Any evidence that refutes the conspiracy is part of the conspiracy.

Oh hey, Vienna. 😎✌️

My grandma died today. She showed unconditional love. She was the sweetest. I’ll miss her. She hated my trolls. RIP. ❤️

He could’ve been a doctor. Twice.

Are they going to "investigate" with science or vibes?

One thing I wonder about chemtrails is... ...what happens when they fall off the edge of the earth?

This is science according to Jay Bhattacharya.

@jonathanstea.bsky.social maybe you can send them your books.

Just an FYI - RFK Jr invited public input on changing vaccine categories and recommendations, and right now the vast majority of comments *support* his approach. If you would like to comment, you can do so here. Deadline is in two days: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

This book details shows how MAHA activists have used science denialism to worsen health outcomes. It also traces the history and harm of the anti-vaccine movement and describes its modern incarnations and propaganda tactics. Highly recommended and hard to put down. 😊✌️

The ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY: "No, no, no, no...the average pin is capable of holding no more than 875 fairies, assuming that they aren't sitting on each other's shoulders."

Looking for advice on pseudoscience? Urine luck!

Social media has worsened our collective science literacy skills. For example, there are urine therapy groups on Facebook. Similar alternative medicine groups provide a sense of community, but at the cost of promoting pseudoscientific beliefs that compromise health.

Do you do the narration?

My wife just learned that my audiobook is on Spotify and can be streamed with a Premium account—and she would like you to know that. 😊✌️

#Booksky 🧪📚💙 #science Fateema Sayani notes that "Stea demystifies the concept of science overall, noting that it’s ***something to regard as a tool*** or process and not something to believe in."

I really liked this book, too. Another I really enjoyed was Mind the Science by another Jonathan, @jonathanstea.bsky.social en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_th...

50% done with this. Even if you think you know everything about vaccines you should read it. It does an amazing job of telling the history of vaccines from day 1 and how antivaxx nonsense in 2026 is no different from 200 years ago. I’m learning a ton.

Calling yourself a critical thinker is not sufficient for critical thinking.

I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because it always coincides with their own desires. - Susan B. Anthony

I once asked Daniel Kahneman (Nobel Prize recipient) to be involved in a book I was co-editing. Though qualified, he so very kindly declined, citing his lack of expertise. When I contrast his humility with the daily death of expertise on social media, I die a little inside.

Not to mention the threats against your hair, but it's good you keep doing what you do regardless.

And some of us are profoundly grateful to you.

For promoting evidence-based patient care, I receive countless hateful messages daily. I receive death threats. I’ve dealt with frivolous complaints. I’ve been called the "face of evil." I’m lied about and constantly harassed. I’m also not alone.😊✌️ www.nature.com/articles/d41...

There’s something hilariously absurd about social media that leads some people to deceive themselves into believing that their brains have suddenly downloaded the expertise that is painstakingly acquired over countless years of training/experience in a highly specialized domain.

Trumpists and other reactionaries tap into anger. But maybe we ("progressives"? "the left"? "reasonable people"?) have the best laughs

My uncle was vaccinated and a week later he turned into a rhododendron tree. Before and After pics below.

😂 Perfect.

I once had the flu. Then I took homeopathy. It cleared up seven days later.

and how 🤓

The ability to read a scientific article does not guarantee the ability to understand a scientific article.
