Is TrumpRx anything to be excited about? Or just another scammy-feeling site I won't be recommending to patients?

Excellent reporting, and important considerations for vulnerable patients about to open their wallets. Thanks for helping to spread the word with your post!

This was excellent reporting, and the scamminess is self evident. A little deeper analysis from my primary care perspective if interested : mccormickmd.substack.com/p/is-trumprx...

Is TrumpRx worth the golden eagle that delivers it to us, you know, like a golden carrion that golden eagles might soar with?? Here is your full analysis. Caveat emptor, to say the least!

The same movement that mocked masking as cowardice now defends balaclavas on federal agents as β€œofficer safety,” turning face coverings from a tool of solidarity and public health beneficence into a shield for state violence, terror, and impunity.

Ryan McCormick, M.D. (@mccormickmd) Here’s some breaking news I just learned that is sure to cause even more harm to pediatric vaccination. RFK Jr’s anti-vaccination Children's Health Defense has filed a RICO racketeering lawsuit again...

So now RFK Jr’s Childrens Health Defense is coming at vaccines with a RICO racketeering lawsuit. They are attacking the American Academy of Pediatrics like one comes after the mafia. You have to read it to believe it, and most importantly, to know some talking points to counter the bullshit:

This is why I’m never leaving a proud city like Philadelphia, especially as communities are threatened, abused, and killed by ICE agents under orders from this regime. I gladly pay my Philly taxes for a generally great District Attorney, Sheriff, and police force.

Not sure how I feel about the culture and economy of getting cats β€œhigh” on grass and joints, or the sketchy supplement industry expanding into CBD as a pet panacea, too.

Thoughts from pet owners and non-pet owners? As seen in Philly:

Are you frightened by the #vinayprasad memo in which he claims Covid vaccines caused at least 10 child deaths? We should all want to see the proof... but until then, and don't hold your breath, here's a deep dive on the state of Prasad's predictable, ideological mess mongering. Click to read post:

The End of the Wellness Delusion (And What Comes After) Living well. With loss and less.

Just as the West built itself on the myth of endless progress, much of modern medicine, wellness culture, and the longevity industry have constructed their own foundational lie: that with enough effort, tech, and personal responsibility, we can indefinitely postpone decline, disability, and death.

I’m thankful for this roasted dinosaur sacrificed on Thanksgiving. That some birds and mammals were among the 25% of life on Earth to survive the meteoric extinction 66M years ago. I’m sorry for the tragedy of the other 75%. It’s a miracle that any of us survive - conscious, sentient, aware.
Cheers!

Thanks Greg! I try not to make it too wonky, but also referenced well so it’s not just me making stuff up… unlike some leaders we suffer now!

In an interview on Fox News, anchor Jesse Watters mocks Dr. Anthony Fauci, Kid Rock mocks the public health tool of masking, then both devolve into fits of laughter at Kid’s gleeful use of the disability slur β€œretard.”

Here’s one way to think about it:

We should be drawing up plans now for how to retrofit the grotesque White House Billionaires’ Ballroom.

In the future it needs to be repurposed as a National Civic Center. Galas honoring teachers, first responders, military, scientists, etc. Town halls. The people’s house returned to the people.

At the end of your primary care visit, Dr. Strong thinks it’s funny as he jokes about dumping liquid feces on you and your family. Sound familiar?

Can you really see hatred in this family dog?

And why hate on your extended American family, those like us who gave up a Saturday in October to join millions of others saying no fascism, no to state sanctioned hate, no effing kings?

take away their freedom of speech, make and take more billions of dollars, and gut their family bonds by stoking hatred of some enemy within.

Don’t you miss us like we miss you?
