Trump tariff rates for imported lumber which "threaten to impair the national security of the United States."
🇨🇦 > 45%
🇷🇺 = 0%

A sad but necessary sequel to "We Want Them
Infected"
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2025
Dr. Howard's previous book "We Want Them Infected" meticulously documented the lies and disinformation of anti-science contrarian physicians during the COVID-19 pandemic. WWTI was a wake-up call to the damage these physicians could do if allowed to continue unopposed. Well, continue with minimal opposition these physicians did, and, just as thoroughly, Dr. Howard has documented here in
"Everyone Else is Lying to You" how these disinformers parlayed their prevarications into positions of power within the HHS. Like WWTI, EEILTY was a book I had to take a chapter at a time, due mostly to the overwhelming dismay at how few people did anything to oppose this clearly coordinated overthrow of the US public health system. As someone who professionally worries about anti-vaccinationism, I followed in real time much of what Dr. Howard has written, but the amount of disinformation put forth by and on behalf of these physicians is much better appreciated through the narrative-specific chaptering of EEILTY. In the final chapter of this book, Dr. Howard writes "I can only hope that future medical leaders learn from these mistakes and show some backbone." To that I agree and state that a great place to start learning from these mistakes is this book. --Chris Hickie MD, PhD

Wait - so there was a peace deal in place under Biden, but Netanyahu met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago (tinyurl.com/4fn64wah) and scuttled it to give them both a political win?

He would have turned in the family hiding Anne Frank.

A tweet by Bill Melugin reads: “Regardless of how one feels about immigration policy, according to U.S. law, this is a felony. Harboring of aliens. 8 USC 1324.”

A tweet from Laura N. Rodríguez Presa reads: “During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.”

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.
