Pierre Kory, MD, MPA
193k followers · #8 Health Politics BestsellersNew recommenders per week, last 12 weeks; the orange bar is this week to date. Same scale in every panel. Dated by Substack; only recommendations still live. Outlined weeks are incomplete: Substack lists only a publication's 50 newest recommenders, so for busy writers older weeks can't be counted, and a 30-day count marked + is a floor.
Rising
Substack ranks Rising by recent growth in paid subscribers. Followers are my daily reading.
Climbed most since Oct 31: Dr. Robert W. Malone new at #1, Jeff Childers new at #8, Doc Malik new at #9, Andrea Nakayama new at #15, Katy Talento ND ScM new at #16.
