Decided to put some thoughts on paper for this "anniversary" of January 6th
Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn was on the front lines of January 6. Five years later, he warns the greatest threat isn’t just what happened—but the lies rewriting it. “January 6 was not legitimate political discourse.” Read his powerful piece: www.meidasplus.com/p/history-be...

In Trump’s unhinged rant yesterday praising the roll back of childhood vaccines, he thanked 4 men by name
RFK Jr
Jay Bhattacharya
Marty Makary
Jim O’Neill
These men will have a special place in the history of the US anti-vaccine movement
RFK Jr’s wildest dreams are coming true, each & every day

Once again, I implore media outlets to stop saying these are CDC decisions.
These are changes being made unilaterally by RFK Jr. against the expert advice of CDC scientists.
I note that RFK Jr. no longer recommends flu vaccine for kids in the midst of a horrible influenza year.

The approval of Wegovy pills for weight loss is getting considerable attention.
There is an important pharmacological aspect of this drug which is not (in my view) getting as much attention as it deserves.
GLP-1 is a modified 30 amino acid peptide! Yet it is orally active.

When is a mammogram not enough? Risk assessment should be done for all women by age 25, esp. if family history. All women should start screening by age 40; start earlier and with MRI if high risk. Read more... www.futureofpersonalhealth.com/breast-healt...
When Is a Mammogram at Age 40 Not Enough?
For many women, a mammogram at 40 is essential, but certain risk factors may necessitate additional or early screening options.

Over 40 years ago, when I was starting to study immunology in grad school, I read where Lewis Thomas called vaccines high-tech medicine because a simple shot could tune the immune system to fight that one illness. This attack on vaccinations will not be the last one by this crew.
