I would like to take this opportunity to point out that the data showing the safety and effectiveness of vaccines is significantly more robust than it is for Leucovorin as a treatment for autism spectrum disorder.

Gold Standard Science, eh fellas?

70-year-olds with "profound autism" likely died in institutions like Pennhurst State School and Hospital due to inadequate resources and understanding of their needs. At this rate, we'll be talking about "never hearing" about 70-year-olds at all because no one will live that long ever again.

If you didn’t know, Mehmet Oz has a financial stake in the company iHerb which sells: folinic acid supplements (folinic acid = leucovorin)

The lies about Tylenol, autism, and this “treatment” are ALL part of their grift.

She has been paid to promote raw milk. Like what are we even doing here? They’re not even trying to pretend she’s remotely qualified in any way. Just the stupidest losers all the way down and despite their generational wealth they’re all trying to grift off us instead of ever doing any real work

Casey Means, the influencer who did not complete medical training but is nominated for Surgeon General, has been extremely critical of financial conflicts of interest in medicine. But she has made hundreds of thousands shilling supplements like algae & basil seed, and from investments in big tobacco

Me: "Often influencers point to real research, but that study could be very preliminary and hasn’t been verified in a solid clinical trial."

So much “scienceploitation”!

If thou who shall not be named didn't himself conspire to kill Charlie Kirk, then you know he's at least a tad happy about the timely distraction it creates.

We’re all keeping our chins up.
Thanks, Elle.

Journalists are STILL WRITING flattering articles.

Perhaps it's time to start settling things with yellow handkerchiefs a la The Righteous Gemstones.

Even the people in The Handmaid's Tale knew coal was bad. At least they attempted to be green.

They're more like The History Channel now. We'll start seeing exhibits on alien activity.

Time to download everything I can.

He's more dangerous because he won't flip-flop.

If a person is injured by a vaccine, they can apply for compensation through this program, and the bar for compensation is fairly low. VICP exists because of numerous superfluous lawsuits that had been filed against pharma companies, leading many to start to pull out of the market. 2/5

Because vaccine safety and availability is critical to the health and wellbeing of the people of the U.S., the government was unwilling to have them manufactured elsewhere. It's not nefarious, it's not a conspiracy, it's a public health strategy that has proven to be the right one. 3/5

VICP is funded by an excise tax from the sale of every vaccine that a pharmaceutical company sells. The tax is about 75 cents per vaccine, though combination vaccines, for example MMR, are taxed x 3 because there actually three vaccines in there (measles, mumps, rubella). 4/5

In short, if RFK Jr. has always been angry that he can’t make money by suing vaccine companies. It has nothing to do with anyone’s health. If he ends this program, vaccine manufacturers will stop making vaccines in the U.S., and we will lose herd immunity quite quickly thereafter.

RFK Jr. is going to end the vaccine program in the United States in order to make money for himself by suing companies that make them.

He wants to end the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), which means that vaccine manufacturers will stop making vaccines in the U.S. 1/5

If RFK Jr. ends the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), he will make millions in client fees while his clients lose their lawsuits. The bar for proving a vaccine injury in court is higher than via VICP.

But more importantly, millions of children will become disabled and die.

There is no greater five alarm fire than this. I don’t know how to break through to Republicans about the impact of ending VICP, but I won’t stop posting about it, and neither should you. Call your elected reps. Write letters. This is a living nightmare.

Agreed. We need "A Few Good Men" moment. Subtle pushing. Let him be Jack.

Is one a citizen if they're born of only one native U.S. parent? What about those born of a donated egg, sperm, or uterus of someone not native to the U.S.? What about surrogates? How fun 🤮

We cannot and will not gamble with our patients’ health or the health of our communities-AAFP

I made this video about what is really going on with these “fentanyl exposure” stories because I got tired of explaining the same thing over and over: www.youtube.com/watch?v=215h...

America has the greatest military on the face of the earth.

We didn’t need a parade to prove it.

Shattered Science: The Research Lost as Trump Targets NIH Funding The Trump administration cut research funding that sought cures for future pandemics, examined the causes of dementia and tried to prevent HIV transmission. More than 150 researchers shared with ProPublica what is being lost.

Few are telling this trainwreck's tale with as much rigor and passion as @anniewaldman.bsky.social‬ @ #ProPublica.

"[Trump] ...has terminated more than 1,450 [#NIH] grants withholding more than $750 million in funds."
