The CDC's website that assisted US residents with finding locations for sites to get FDA-approved vaccines nationally is no longer working.... vaccinesdotgov. I don't know if it's an error due to staffing problems at Kennedy's HHS/CDC or if HHS disabled the site. #medsky

The wonderful land of Oz, indeed
This is amazing!
Australia’s latest cervical cancer report is wild:

NIDA says most pot that people smoked in the 60s contained less than 5% THC

(aka “dirt weed” — how much sampling did the Feds do, really?)

Today, the THC potency can reach 40%, they say.

It's possible to get addicted to pot. Here's what to know
Doctors say it's possible to get hooked on pot. There's a widespread misconception that marijuana is not addictive, and it's expanded as a growing number of states legalize pot.

This is what is happening.
We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

This is incredibly, incredibly sad. It was one of the world’s leading public health institutions, but the kooks who Trump hired into federal health leadership positions have done all they can to dismantle it.
Handed a patient a printout of a CDC summary.

They were suspicious.

I pointed out the publication date.

It was from 2024.

“Oh, ok, so this is from when we could trust them.”

The president is demanding arrests and implying that the democratic lawmakers in this video should be killed…

Because they posted a video reminding service members that they cannot follow unlawful orders.

And Trump and his fascist cronies are taking it as a threat. Why?
