Cassidy was the final vote approving Kennedy for head of HHS.
He knew Jr. was a dangerous menace but voted to confirm him anyways.
Cassidy is responsible for the deaths and suffering of children across America as vaccines and scientific medical advice is mocked or not offered.

But Health insurers use the vaccine schedule to decide what they have to pay for.
Some people won’t be able to afford vaccines that have been removed.

I wonder if women would still choose these "freebirths" if they knew that the chances of both mother and baby surviving were roughly similar to when their great-great-great grandmother gave birth.

both maternal & infant, with mortality rates of hospital births.

They discovered that home births among this group (remember: well educated, healthy, well nourished, supported in labour by fellow community members) had mortality rates comparable to those in the 18th and 19th centuries.

when researchers find a large community of women who are healthy, well educated, & voluntarily choose to give birth with no medical assistance, comparison becomes possible.

There is one such group in the US, a faith community. (I forget the name).
Researchers compared their mortality rates

I did History of Medicine back in the 90s. Prof Janet McCalman was guest lecturer.
She said comparing mortality rates of home births with hospital ones is tricky, due to ethics (you can't force women to be in home group), & controlling for factors such as poverty & existing health conditions.

It hasn't posted anything of its own, & only one retweet, so I suspect it's just squatting on that handle to prevent me using it.

I LOVE that dress. Gorgeous print, and the cut is so flattering.

Showing me a needle shot on a story about a measles outbreak gets me to associate vaccination with disease... which is wrong.
