Current flower-pusher, global health practitioner, dissenter, resister
I was wondering when this vile thing was going to pop up again in this administration. She was terrible to work with at #USAID, especially in the #PEPFAR space. Her #Project2025 training videos that I watched last year would've been funny (they're so bad) if they weren't so insideous.

Many people have been giving excellent updates about the $1.6 million that RFK Jr. has given to Danish researchers to “study” the HepB birth dose in Guinea-Bissau, and I’m glad this story is spreading.
The first thing that was confirmed is that the researchers are Benn and Aady, as many predicted.

Yikes! Great journalism 💯
Books about “Asian wife sharing.” Detailed descriptions of orgies. Scenes involving “ladyboys.”
That’s what @dfriedman.bsky.social discovered on a Goodreads page tied to the email address of a top Pentagon official and mentor to Pete Hegseth.
What came next was even wilder.

This is exactly why in 1991 we went from only vaccinating babies of Hepatitis B positive moms to vaccinating all babies.
