One thing about RFK Jr & the MAGA/MAHA team of MDs & PhDs carrying out his policies (Drs Bhattacharya, Kulldorff, Hรธeg, Oz, Makary, & Prasad) is that EVERY DAY they take so many new dangerous steps to dismantle & demolish medicine & public health that it's impossible to keep up with all the horror

9 Ada County residents sickened by raw milk, health officials investigating Two children consumed raw milk products from R Bar H and have since been hospitalized, reports CDH.

Making America Healthy Again with raw milk. RFK, Jr and others who push this nonsense have a lot to answer for.

More Parents Are Rejecting a Lifesaving Vitamin Shot for Newborns

โ€œBabies can bleed for a number of reasons, especially if they are premature, but vitamin K deficiency is a significant and preventable causeโ€ฆ While some forms of bleeding are minor, brain bleeds can be devastating. โ€œOnce it happens, you canโ€™t control it,โ€ said Karen Skific, a nurse practitionerโ€

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

Bears had a great season and they remind me a lot of where the 85 Bears were a couple of years before they won the Super Bowl.

Aside from the fascism & should-end-a-presidency shameful nonsense of threatening our NATO allies (bsky.app/profile/mcop...), this is an unimaginably stupid & wasteful allocation of resources while Vladimir Putin is occupying 20% of Ukraine & NATO does not have enough troops on its eastern flank.

A reminder that any moment a handful of Republicans could simply call up the Democrats and they could have Trump out of office by the end of the week.

This is *always* how it works with metals tariffs. We saw this with the Bush steel tariffs and the Trump I tariffs. You get a few jobs in steel and you lose a lot of jobs in every industry that *uses* steel. It kills manufacturing. Thereโ€™s been a lot of work on this. #econsky

Trump says US will do something on Greenland 'whether they like it or not' President Trump on Friday continued to press for U.S. control of Greenland, telling reporters: "We are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not."

In a sane time, Congress would immediately impeach and remove a president who threatened to invade a #Nato ally. But instead, we have subservient cowards who will do nothing while Trump tries to take #Greenland for its resources. Total corruption. #Denmark abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

One of the obvious concerns about the administration's killing spree at sea was that if the US government would lawlessly kill people on the high seas just because the administration spuriously labeled them as "terrorists", it might do so elsewhereโ€”including in the United States.

Clueless US media understand Trump's shut down of Atlantic coast wind farms as just some vague national security thing about radar or as Trump's weird ideas about alternative energy. But in Denmark, this is immediately understood for what it is: a shakedown against two large Danish companies,

It still makes me incredibly angry that RFK Jr & Drs Makary & Bhattacharya did an online media event on X telling pregnant women that vaccination would no longer be recommended

Vaccinated women were 62% less likely to be hospitalized than unvaccinated women & 90% less likely to need critical care๐Ÿ‘‡

#FossilFriday I found this fragment of bone in a gully in the sagebrush southwest of Boise. It has some gnaw marks on the periosteum and the marrow cavity is easily seen. I think it is probably from the last ice age when it was a lot wetter here with a large ancient lake.

Great statement by Jason Goldman to the #ACIP on lack of transparency and cherry picking of data. Superb comments by Sandra Fryhofer on harms of neonatal infection and risks for horizontal transmission.

The #PedsICU community did a fantastic job raising concerns early about MIS-C early during the COVID epidemic. Trust me, it would have done the same if suddenly we had seen a lot of vaccine related complications, and wouldnโ€™t have hesitated to advocate for intervention.

Bono on Donald Trump: โ€œAmerica is the best idea the world ever came up with. But Donald Trump is potentially the worst idea that ever happened to America. Heโ€™s trying to hijack the idea of America. Wise people of conscience should not let this man turn your country into a casinoโ€

We need to have far more tight controls on what the President can do with the military. The vast majority (70% on CBS poll) of Americans oppose attacking Venezuela, but the President can order it with complete immunity according to the Supreme Court. Itโ€™s just wrong.
