Evasion of peer review is a hallmark of pseudoscience.

But even more insidious is the obviation of scientific scrutiny by publishing in pseudoscientific journals that exist to provide an illusion of scientific legitimacy.

There’s nothing new about MAHA’s propaganda tactics.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

We are still rejoicing that the beloved MMWR is back to regular weekly cadence. This week's report has two publications - one on the first case of mpox Clade 1b in the Americas, and another on influenza seroprevalence among bovine veterinarians. You can find both here: www.cdc.gov/mmwr/index.h...

Again, the World Health Organization is the single most important global entity in preventing, tracking and controlling outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics and is especially important as climate change and deforestation allow pathogens to mutate, become more infectious and spread to new regions

Not saying it’ll happen, only that it’d really be something if the continued 2024 ballot-counting led to Trump finishing at 49.49% and Harris at 48.51%—arguably, a 49%-49% tie.

Trump would almost certainly spin out online.

Right now he leads by just 1.58% in one of the closest U.S. elections ever.
