Let me see if I have this right
RFK Jr wants to curtail use of GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic because he says people should instead make βlifestyle changesβ but he himself takes testosterone as a lifestyle drug so he can look all pumped up & mega macho
I think this is a tad hypocritical?

This is a fascinating chart and I suspect if the gaps shown here were reduced through better education from TV, Movies, schools, the press and on social media, we'd see a lot of societal issues become less prevalent or problematic.

I'd say the content itself serves nearly zero purpose for 99% of the population.
But the way it's presented is purely meant to create fear and anxiety. The account itself is designed to scare people.
Fear is a terrible messaging strategy for public health. It does more harm than good.

On tea, Davidsons yunnan black is my favorite straight black tea currently. And their ceylon op black is what I mix with hibiscus.

I see hysteria about this is not limited to Twitter.
'while I'm not saying they're alike at all, I'm going to draw a heavy comparison regardless'
This is not helpful in any way. It's purely going to drive up anxiety. That's bad public health messaging.

Are pharmaceutical companies immune from prosecution? No
Are they not liable for their products, such as vaccines? No
Can you sue pharmaceutical companies? Yes
So why the statements that they are immune?

This type of tweet is neither breaking nor helpful. It just causes people to panic without any real information. It's akin to yelling fire in a crowded building. It's meant to cause fear, not inform.

I've always used the term mobility to describe why flu basically died but covid didn't.
Human mobility dropped around 70%. That brought Reff under 1 for flu, not Covid19.
I wonder if the same drop in mobility would do similar to covid, now, with 2024 levels of immunity. Likely not as much still.

We reduced death and severe disease by multiple orders of magnitude. It's now riskier for almost the entire population to drive a car, even with seat belts airbags and breaks.
The risk of death and long term issues are dramatically lower now.
My guess is you don't know just how low the risk is.

It's possible a few were the same, just viral shedding.
Basically impossible to get a true reinfection in that period.
