Attorney Aaron Siri’s presentation at ACIP is, in my opinion, a direct case of corruption.

He is a close ally of RFK Jr., whose law firm also profits from suing various entities about vaccines.

He was RFK Jr.’s personal lawyer. And he has sued to take polio vaccine off the market

A U.S. strike hit a suspected drug boat. Two survivors clung to the wreckage for an hour before a second strike murdered them. No charges, no evidence, no prosecution, no due process — just dead bodies in the water.

Ugh. A frustrating article, @washingtonpost.com!

Full-body MRI? wapo.st/44Sf9dV

No good evidence to support (industry study?). Exploitive money grab. Likely = > harm. Iatrogenic injury. Anxiety. Cost (to individual & system). Etc.

Professional orgs recommend against. Just... no.
Column | A full-body MRI can reveal hidden killers. Do we want to know?
Like many emerging technologies, this one can improve our lives, make us miserable or both. Nobody knows yet which it will be.

Make sure everyone you know hears about #ICELawlessness & knows the story of US CITIZEN & IRAQ WAR VETERAN, George Retes.

"ICE officers used tear gas, broke his car window, and applied physical force, including kneeling on him, while he complied with their instructions."

Is this freedom?

Based on what I hear from friends who are primary care physicians, the main thing right now that gets people to vax their kids are requirements to do so. (For example, if the doctor's practice requires it.) It's hard to get people to do it otherwise.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

This is AI. It's fake. It's fictional.

This is the new world of AI-Evangelism.

It's manipulative, disingenuous, and predatory.

It targets older, vulnerable people who won’t know the difference – aiming to convert through deception for views and ad revenue.

It makes me laugh to hear the Trump regime portray Americans as the victims of the drug cartels.
First, they don’t really give a fuck.
But mainly because we’re not the victims we are the creators and sustainers of the cartels.
Our insatiable demand for drugs has ruined those countries.
