Watching the #txfm Twitter stream this morning made me wish I had been in the audience for Dr. Nancy Snyderman’s opening talk at the Mayo Clinic’s Transform conference. She touched on everything from privacy to vaccines to each citizen’s responsibility to one another and fired up the whole room. You can watch a live stream of the conference and catch the last few sessions. Here are the ideas from @DrNancyNBCNEWS that sparked the most conversation this morning.

Anti-vaxer Jenny McCarthy started her new job on The View yesterday. There was Twitter chatter about boycotting the show because of the actor’s misinformed views about vaccines. Sounds like Snyderman got a great reception for her support of getting every child vaccinated.
Dr Nancy Snyderman on bogus anti vaccine "science": "we've gotten off on the cuckoo track. Time to get back to normalville." Love it. #TXFM

@nbcdrnancy A rousing diatribe against the 'unravelling' caused by the anti-Vax movement. Put responsible science back into society. #TXFM

The best speakers are the blunt ones, like Dr. Victor Montori and Dr. Mark Blatt. Snyderman is in that club as well.
Love that Dr Snyderman is addressing some of the elephants in the room with straight talk. Gotta love those Midwesterners. #txfm
