Every time ACIP meets, Bill Cassidy (R, Coward City) makes pathetic mewling sounds about how bad the committee is.

It is Bill Cassidy’s fault that ACIP is no longer a legitimate scientific body.

Sir, you are a fucking U.S. Senator. Impeach RFK Jr or STFU.

an interesting idea from a guy who def knows what he’s talking about. finding ways to extract real progress out of the abject chaos in the govt right now is exactly what we need to be doing.

OMG, as a father, allow me to emphasize it is not ok for adult men to be into teen age girls, and if you are an adult rationalizing β€œ15 year olds” as somehow ok:

You are gross

You need help

Stay the hell away from my children or my students

This substack from @kkjetelina.bsky.social and @hayrook.bsky.social is fantastic. and tbh, this is ALL the stuff we've been saying @pnhp.bsky.social for years. There is a better way... there's just no political will to eliminate the private health insurance industry.

Did you know...seniors of color enrolled in Medicare β€œAdvantage” are offered lower quality plans, face higher rates of prior authorization denials, and suffer worse health outcomes compared to their white counterparts?

it absolutely is. the scene when Beaker flips the bird to Scrooge is incredible. or the addition of Bob Marley to go with Jacob Marley… so funny. and it holds remarkably true to the OG story.

The Make American Healthy Again Strategy Report This Viewpoint discusses the deficiencies of the Make America Healthy Again Commission’s strategy report and proposes known evidence-based interventions to address chronic diseases in children.

a glorious rebuttal of the asinine MAHA report from a few weeks ago. TLDR: we have ways of making the US healthy but they’re not discussed in the report, and anyhow the current administration is doing everything it can to make people less healthy through its actions.
