BTA determined to demonstrate ignorance

[helvella]

It appears that the Twitter account of the BTA is dead set on making sure that their reputation is negatively enhanced.

FYI The referenced Medscape article is this:

He also coined the term haemochromatosis & discovered its link with iron , as well as contributions to hyperparathyroidism (causing bone loss)!

Thanks - I didn't go further reading about him.

But bone issues have always been known! All sorts of interventions like forms of dentistry and trepanning as well as injuries directly revealed bone. It's quite possibly easier to compare bone that a lot of other tissue. A clear structure that retains lots of detail very well even if removed.

Galileo was excommunicated for claiming that the world was round .

[waveylines in reply to Tythrop]

🤣😂😅 Can we do that to the BTA?

[Tythrop in reply to waveylines]

It might be fun

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK in reply to Tythrop]

Simply because we try to make sure things are accurate, so far as we can, I have to point out that it seems Galileo was not excommunicated!

But I couldn't find a link that I was comfortable posting - too many had a religious background or were questionable in other ways, or simply didn't make the point quickly and accessibly. But a search will find lots...

I can't spy on what garbage the BTA are posting on Twitter anymore .. Elon won't let me.

That's no great loss .. but i'm really peeved that i can no longer read what Larry the No 10 Cat is saying.

[RedApple Administrator in reply to tattybogle]

The only way I could be sure that an estranged relative of mine that I care about was still alive and kicking, was by spying on his twitter tweets. Now I can't do that unless I sign up to Elons closed community. Elon will probably never know or care about the extent to which his childish need to make twitter into a secret society affects innocent individuals.

[tattybogle in reply to RedApple]

yea that sucks too ...

the word 'knob' comes to mind .

can't think why .

[RedApple Administrator in reply to tattybogle]

I can think of stronger words, but I won't mention them here 😉

[Zephyrbear in reply to RedApple]

And calling it X just implies some form of porn site… 🤢

[greenfingers in reply to Zephyrbear]

He’s thinking of changing it again.

[Zephyrbear in reply to greenfingers]

Let’s hope he has the sense to put it back to Twitter… he’s behaving like a spoilt brat who’s taken someone else’s toy and can’t make up his mind what to call it and just ends up thrashing it into the ground.

[waveylines in reply to greenfingers]

Maybe he should change it to Y! 🤣😂

[Zephyrbear in reply to tattybogle]

I love Larry the Cat! He’s the only fount of wisdom in No 10! Currently, whilst the PM is away, he’s in charge although there is an irritation called Oliver who keeps trying to scupper his plans, so he tends to go out and amuse the photographers… 😹

[LindaC]

Surprise, Surprise... thank you for posting, helvella.

[Zephyrbear]

One person I follow who called out their “astonishing ignorance” and answered them with a fact that osteoporosis and other bone diseases had already been known about since 1844 quoting a paper published then on it actually got blocked for his trouble by this bunch…

So I retweeted his response and am waiting to see whether they’ll block me too! 🤣

[greenfingers in reply to Zephyrbear]

They don’t like the truth.

[waveylines]

Some people like cutting their noses off to spite their faces. It will sink like a stone! Facebook love it!

[Regenallotment]

🤣

[TaraJR]

The BTA has blocked ITT group on Twitter, after a few comments about their new consensus statement on T3. They seemed not to want to hear anything that did not agree with them

[greenfingers]

All the Pharmaceutical companies are being hauled over the coals now as it’s being discovered that they push medication for profit. They don’t care about the patient and other organisations are in bed with them.

[waveylines in reply to greenfingers]

And they didn't realise this? Hmmm....
