My optimistic take: Trump Regime is a house of cards. It demands the collaboration (and cowardness) of so many to keep this unpopular & dangerous regime in power without accountability. Once our pathetic Business & Media & Political Elite start to break against the regime, they will all break.

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability
This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis examines the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability.

In any functioning democracy people like this—pushing a lethal agenda based on private grievance against the will of the vast majority of public and against the judgment of virtually all experts—would be immediately pushed aside by legislative oversight.
It's a remarkable glitch in US politics.

💉🧵PSA 🚨 We don’t know for sure but are very worried RFKJ’s ACIP is about to restrict access to RSV monoclonal immunization for babies (nirsevimab and clesrovimab). If your baby is eligible, get them vaccinated asap. RSV season starts late Oct-early Nov. See below for immunization recommendation info

Just spoke with my CDC sources.
They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports.
Pandemics don’t start with viruses they start with secrecy.
RFK Jr. must resign now!

I went out foraging for medicinal tea. Basswood/Linden flowers and leaves make a light, floral tea that's great for colds, fevers, and just feeling run-down. I collect it every June and dry it to use in the winter.

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

This is important because every story you are seeing is paired with dozens — hundreds, likely — that you are not.
There will surely be follow-up litigation, but this is not something that is being stopped in advance. It's happening, and people are going to die because of it.

“We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff.
They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

Great story:
So someone asked me to retell the story of the old lady that told me about killing her husband. Are we ready for a trip back in time to 1999? Some of you already know this story, but if you don't it is a wild ride. Apply all appropriate trigger warnings!

Great story:
NY Governor Hochul is shutting down live-bird markets in New York City, Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk (Long Islans) counties through Feb. 14 after seven cases of bird flu were detected in poultry at markets in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens in the last week

Cui bono? Who benefits? The new administration has done far more to advance the interests of our enemies than those of the US. The impact, objectives and beneficiaries are crystal clear. And yet, none of this is really even being raised or discussed by the media or the opposition.

USAID bought $2 Billion worth of crops from US farmers every year to distribute overseas.
Some of those farmers voted for Trump.
This time around, I do NOT think they'll get any subsidies or help. This is a smash-and-grab and Trump is taking ALL the money. (1/2)
