Low vitamin D = spontaneous mast cell degranulation. No allergen, no infection - just mast cells dumping histamine for no reason.

Every action by Trump, Elon, or one of their minions can be mapped directly or indirectly to Project 2025.

I asked an AI engine “Where does Project 2025 discuss elimination of public health or privatization of public health”

The response ran several pages but starts as shown below and in the Alt.
Project 2025 outlines several proposals that could significantly alter the landscape of public health in the United States, primarily through restructuring federal health agencies and promoting the privatization of health services. Restructuring Federal Health Agencies: • Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): The plan proposes dividing the CDC into two separate entities: one focused on data collection and the other on policy recommendations. This restructuring suggests that the CDC is currently ill-equipped to make policy decisions. Critics argue that such a division could slow emergency responses and diminish the agency’s already limited authority.  • Food and Drug Administration (FDA): Project 2025 recommends reforms to the FDA’s drug approval process, though specific details are not provided in the available sources.  • National Institutes of Health (NIH): The plan calls for implementing term limits for NIH leaders and suggests redirecting funds directly to states instead of through the NIH.  Privatization of Health Services: • Medicare: A significant proposal within Project 2025 is to make Medicare Advantage—the privatized arm of Medicare—the default enrollment option for all beneficiaries. Analysts warn that this shift could lead to a multibillion-dollar annual transfer to corporations, potentially limiting healthcare choices for older Americans and jeopardizing Medicare’s financial health.  • Medicaid: The project suggests capping federal funding for Medicaid and allowing states to impose stricter work requirements and other eligibility criteria. These measures could result in reduced access to healthcare for low-income individuals.  While Project 2025 … proposed restructuring and privatization efforts could substantially diminish the role of federal agencies in public health initiatives, potentially leading to decreased access to essential health services for various populations.
