To clarify, it is so hard to give these diseases to kids this age with any food that’s readily available in this country, and you’d really have to go out of your way, and these are very slow-to-develop, painful conditions that cause overt, outward signs of sickness and suffering for quite some time…
A 5-month-old baby died, & 3 surviving children, ages 2, 4, & 5, had to be hospitalized with rickets, osteopenia, vitamin D deficiency, & significant developmental delays bc their parents put them on “alkaline diets.”
Anyone saying alkalization has health benefits is a murderous liar & a charlatan.

Do you buy what Adm.Bradley & Gen.Caine told Congress about the boat strike? Their reasoning for killing the 2 survivors (they were signaling to other drug dealers, they may have kept trafficking drugs despite being incapacitated, etc.) seems less and less credible as more info comes out, right?

The administration is trying very hard to block that testimony. He’s got a closed interview with Congress coming up soon - I suspect we’ll see some leaks from that.

I would trade the birth dose of Hep B for universal health care and a unitary electronic medical record.
9/ Arguments for selective HBV vaccination also point to some European countries that use this approach, but in these countries prenatal screening is higher (often >95%), records are centralized, and access to care is near universal - all of which the US lacks.
