Cancer misinformation kills. Literally.
Cancer patients who refuse conventional treatments and rely on unsupported therapies die more often and faster.
Colorectal cancer patients:
A 4.57-fold increased risk of death
Five-year survival plummets from 79.4% to 32.7%.

“Things like this take place” normalizes what should never be normal.

Trump on today’s mass shooting at FSU: "Things like this take place."
Gun violence doesn’t just happen. It’s the result of cowardly politicians bought by the gun lobby—like Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis—repeatedly failing us while the gun industry profits.

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.”

Vitamin A supplements will not protect someone from measles, and they are not a substitute for the measles, mumps and rubella, or MMR, vaccine, infectious-disease experts said.
The best way to protect against a measles infection is the two-dose vaccine, experts say.

Can vitamin A treat measles? RFK Jr. suggests so. Kids are overdosing.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.
When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Yes, this is who Senator Booker has always been. A man of character and good morals. We need more leaders like him.
Fam, remember three years ago when Cory Booker brought tears to all of our eyes when he lifted up Ketanji Brown Jackson?
“You are worthy.”
That’s who he is. That’s who he’s always been.
