I don’t think non physicians realize how for real physicians, vaccines is a controversy like flat earth or creationism or birds aren’t real

"No true Scotsman" actually holds here

it's hard to really describe how baffling this is, how frustrating its been to see grow and how high the price will be

Kind of wild there has been almost no coverage of the fact that the federal government unleashed chemical weapons against literal kids *at school*.

In a video message to Germany this morning regarding their prosecutions of doctors who have violated public health laws during the pandemic, RFK Jr. said:

“Your doctor is serving…unelected technocrats with no medical training and anybody can see the danger in this system”.

Has he even met himself?

preying mantis
Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.

In the 2024 US general election, most state-level ballot measures with #LGBTQ+ health implications were protective and passed, but several harmful measures also advanced, reflecting ongoing variability in legal protections. ja.ma/4pk6RTL

foster care has been on the decline nationally over the past ten years. that's a good thing! but there's a group that routinely argue that this is putting kids in danger. @kelleyfong.bsky.social; @bobapel.bsky.social and I checked the evidence (it's null 1/n) jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

The article, as with so many “big paper” write-ups of CAM, rides that “who knows?” line hard. On the one hand, doctors & scientists say it’s overtesting. On the other hand, company says it’s good and some patients really like it. Who’s to say?

I was doing an event and *wanted* a pickle fountain but the price for one was out of budget. I thrifted a triple-tier tray and had a full pickle display (3 different varieties!) instead. People loved it.

As you evaluate this from Kristi Noem, remember that when a federal agent shot a woman in Chicago last year, DHS's initial version of events was full of lies that fell apart under subsequent scrutiny:
