Topic

Health & wellness — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 26 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 74% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

4 measurements spanning 15 days, net -1. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 134–136 and does not start at zero.

Engagement

20 posts held, back to 19 April 2022 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.

Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 21 April 2022. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Great thread. 👇👇 Great study. Broadly vindicates @ TracyBethHoeg @ drjohnm @ KrugAlli @ ifihadastick Shows why many of us said USA should halt moderna in men <40. No reason not too. CDC missed chance for Safer vaccination. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamacardiology/fullarticle/2791253 👉 @VinayPrasadMD

Yes 👇 I'm embarrassed by scientists who say we know the answer, those who say we can't run the trial, as well as those who make ridiculous assertions that the current policy where people eat a bag of pretzels for 45 minutes with the mask off somehow protects a vulnerable person. https://twitter.com/sdbaral/status/1516925466887827462 ... I have ridden many buses and the mask compliance even lower than planes. Even …

The honest answer is they have no idea. They did no studies capable of answering it. It is an amazing CDC & NIAID failure. https://twitter.com/conor64/status/1516532384761409536 👉 @VinayPrasadMD

Such a great point; Have often walked into a room w/ a person known ++ for COVID19 who was not wearing a mask, while I wore an n95 & I never once thought this would be safer if this person occasionally, sporadically wore a cloth mask. https://twitter.com/EWidera/status/1516799651944357888 👉 @VinayPrasadMD

Reads like masks on planes proven to work, but 'bad' side 'politicized it. Truth is no scientist studied it. It had 0 high quality evidence, after years!, which means CDC failed. In the data vacuum, both sides politicized (pro & anti mask). But science failed. No one else. https://twitter.com/picardonhealth/status/1517149958046044163 👉 @VinayPrasadMD

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @VinayPrasadMD. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Mentions

Named by 2 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.

Named by

Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.

A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.

Cite this entry

A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 21 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
