@cdelawalla.bsky.social: “The version of you that I am hearing rn is a little bit different than the version I heard speaking at the MAHA action event…I wanted to give you an opportunity to dissent“

Bhattacharya: *does not dissent*
We gave Jay Bhattacharya an opportunity to clarify his vaccine stance: does he REALLY believe that the vaccine is worse than the disease? Instead, he launched into a defense of MAHA as the future of scientific inquiry, and never really gave us a straight answer...

Here's an idea: Rob Reiner's daughters should sue Trump for $20 billion dollars (evidently Trump's favorite number) for slander, defamation, inciting violence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Rodents, whose evolution separated from humans some 80 million years ago, make poor models for medical testing.

Do lab mice, held in stressful, unnatural conditions, make even worse models?

I saw this and had to check it wasn't faked or a spoof. Sadly, it is real.

Every time I think Trump has reached the nadir of decency and propriety, some hellish trapdoor opens, revealing a hitherto undiscovered sub-basement of obscenity and barbarity. ~AA
