This is a ridiculous position by JVP. Just outrageous fucking trash take.
For the past 2 years, a widely debunked NYT article was used as propaganda by our government to justify its support of Israeli genocide in Gaza. A genocide that, despite a “ceasefire,” is ongoing.

Not giving a newborn a Vit K shot puts them at risk of Vit K Deficiency Bleeding a dangerous, often fatal condition where the body can’t form blood clots. Without infants are over 80 Xs more likely to experience severe bleeding in the brain or intestines, leading to permanent brain damage or death
This is the worst first decision a parent can make. Seriously.

I don’t know why Kash Patel turned out to be such a brain dead goon considering his major previous accomplishments such as authoring a very stupid children’s book.
I know everyone was born just eleven months ago and are therefore just tiny innocent babies, but does nobody remember, say, the Michigan protests against COVID restrictions? This was the state capitol.

The American SS executed an American nurse.
All the analysis of slowed down vids, angles and POVs etc. experts share aside, the conclusive take within hours by all corners of the administration labelling Alex Pretti as a domestic terrorist is the make-or-break moment of this event.
That is set in stone. That is what is damning.

Every interviewer should correct “suspect” to “victim.”
BASH: Footage shows him holding a cell phone, not a gun. Did he at any point pull out his weapon?
BOVINO: We do know that the suspect did bring a weapon, a loaded 9mm high capacity handgun, to a riot.
(That's a no!)

The atopic dermatitis endpoint probably aims to back up RFK Jr’s theory that vaccines prime kids to have allergies. I can’t see the full study design, but it seems this study 1) doesn’t blind the parents, and 2) partly relies on parents to report instances of AD

Scoop: The leaked protocol of the CDC-funded Hepatitis B vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau. “This is another Tuskegee.”
The protocol reveals that the trial will withhold the Hepatitis B birth dose from thousands—without placebos, without universal maternal screening, and with endpoints critics call indefensible.

I’ve for years now believed that the only path to true, equal self-determination for Israelis and Palestinians is through binational movements that at their core persistently humanize each other. The path to two states for two peoples will be forged by exposure, not separation.
