Lived all around the world. Electrical Engineer, who studied medicine for a while (it’s a long story). Used to be a Republican, but the party is over. Came from Twitter/X to escape the bots and threads to escape the impending storm.

Windy Wellington!

I love NZ! The land is gorgeous and the people are polite and authentic.

I have to say that I missed your eloquence while you were on vacation with the Kiwis, but the time off must have felt great.

The military is trained to obtain superiority using the rules of war, not the rule of law. There is a reason for posse comitatus. #possecomitatus

Let's send Farage, Trump, Putin, and Orban to Elba. Just a random thought.

Habeas Corpus?

So sad what we have become as a country.

Unless they own the publishing or authorship rights, it would appear to be copyright fraud. Are they talking about only those books to which they publish?

Doesn’t this fit the legal definition of defamation exactly: promoting a known falsehood with a malicious intent? It’s time to use the bully’s tactics against him.

I hope so.

A civil lawsuit only requires a preponderance (majority) of evidence for success. I do believe that civil tort is a tool that can be used to resist this insanity.

Amazing, all of these firings at HHS, when firing just one person could fix the problems.

The vast majority of people are empathetic and will help others. It is the groups of people that become dangerous, particularly when the evil person comes along.

Well, you’ve been a reliable, or should I say durable, source of information on disease trends and risks. This persistence, in the face of pseudoscience headwinds, has earned my immense respect. You have made me a friend.

This is intellectual fraud on the part of the phony HHS Secretary and immoral financial fraud on the part of the insurers. We will either fail as a society and government or there will be a reckoning.
The Republican Party has sold its soul and should cease to exist.

RFK Jr. provably perjured himself before congress in his confirmation hearing, when questioned about vaccines. Representatives need to take up impeachment proceedings now, before he kills us all. His actions have gone from silly to catastrophic. #MAHA

RFK Jr. says U.S. will stop funding global vaccine group over 'vaccine safety' issues

The secretary of health and human services said that funding will be curtailed until Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, takes into account the science of vaccine safety in its campaigns.

I had a similar experience, a mild headache and no reaction at all to the first vaccine. If Kennedy Jr. had been in office, I would have wondered whether I got the placebo.

I admit to having a firm bias against chiropractic practice, as too many operate WAY outside their realm and established science. That said, one would think that a person who had basic science training would be able to see through the BS that comes from RFK Jr. and his cronies. I am disheartened.

I encourage anyone who has been harmed by the incompetence of the present Department of HHS to file a tort under the FTCA. To me, it seems like a slam dunk. If there is an epidemic or pandemic, it could become a class action. It would make it clear how harmful RFK Jr. is to the U.S.

Is this an “official act”? I think not.
