When the culture wars end, we should all go to a drag show and have fun. oh...Developmental Biology, Tissue Regeneration, and recently paligenosis.

All of these problems we are facing every single day are completely manufactured by the incompetence and vengefulness of this administration.

NONE of these problems existed 6 months ago.

People don’t realize just how much damage this administration is doing to American scienceβ€”and confidence in American science globally.

Everyone I speak with inside is horrified…

Mainstream media needs to stop pointing out what "RFK Jr. gets right," because there are many, many trained public health officials who get the same things right without all the batshit crazy eugenics and woo.

This is particularly worrisome when professional medical societies & associations use what "RFK Jr gets right" to justify their own silence about what "he gets wrong" & to confirm their willingness to work with him. They act like nobody knew before about diet, exercise & other lifestyle changes.

RFK Jr. Orders Search for New Measles Treatments Instead of Urging Vaccination (Gift Article) Decades of research have turned up no miracle treatment for measles, but studies show the M.M.R. shot is 97 percent effective in preventing the disease.

RFK plans to look for measles treatments. "Public health experts were baffled by Mr. Kennedy’s decision to hunt for new treatments, rather than endorse shots that have decades of safety and efficacy data." Story by @teddyrosenbluth.bsky.social gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/h...
