ACIP member Evelyn Griffin just mentioned “functional medicine” followed by a stream of nonsense.
Functional medicine has been widely discredited. It’s a rebrand of “alternative medicine”.

That implies that it's new, & restricted to where there are data centers. Absolutely not the case. This is bog standard for rural areas with a lot of livestock, & has been for decades.

When you only abandon the Republican Party because it no longer serves you, you can't expect to get credit for evolving into a better, more empathetic person. You didn't. You're the same self-involved, self-absorbed person you always were. Your values didn't change. Your circumstances did.
