Does no one remember the Swill Milk Scandal? 8000 babies died in New York State in one year. EIGHT THOUSAND BABIES.
They don't want us to learn history. Or science. Then it's easier to get away with cutting consumer protections to increase their profit margins by selling contaminated food.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

(1,2) With the Supreme Court stepping in to stop deportations & the legal notion of Due Process coming up, it got me thinking about gun laws. I remember when we passed Red Flag laws in Florida & how important it was to Republicans to have a due process clause in that law. They cared about due

Hi, so this is also eugenics. Everything Musk and Trump and RFK Jr are doing is eugenics. It is designed to kill the elderly, children, disabled folks, folks in poverty, and sicken and weaken everyone else. Please understand that suffering and death is the point.
All of us are endangered by alarming Trump interference in important UT research & elsewhere. After his groundbreaking COVID vaccine success, Dr. Jason McLellan’s funding to develop meds for multiple viruses is being cut.
Taking “a break” from infectious disease research means more people die.
