I hope everyone recognizes how much of a fraud he is right away. He doesn't trust the experts, because he can't understand what the experts say! He has no scientific credentials and is going to get a lot of people killed. If anyone requires further explanation, I am happy to provide.

Two Axios reporters set out to experience the MAGA-verse online — in real time.
They each created new accounts on TikTok — where Gen Z disproportionately gets its news — and followed a basic set of MAGA or MAGA-aligned accounts.

OMG another thing to worry about!
I’ve been saying all along that Trump's chaotic approach to tariffs is giving companies cover to raise prices on you.
And it’s also resulting in the Fed keeping interest rates high for longer — denying workers, consumers, and small businesses relief.

Got to say I LOVE the Trump Administration negotiating to get Rare Minerals from Ukraine, for 2 reasons:
1. It reduces our dependence on China for Lithium and Graphite (China provides near 70% of world supply)
2. More than 50% of those minerals are in Russian Annexed land.

Measles requires 95% vaccination rates for herd immunity.
It has a 16.2% case fatality rate for unvaccinated children under 5 years and 24% for children under 9 months (who are unable to be vaccinated).
30% of the survivors experience severe complications like blindness, deafness, or encephalitis.

These are the vaccination rates of kindergartners by state. It takes 95% coverage of MMR vaccine to prevent measles outbreaks & most states are not achieving it. I fear that under the new administration rates will drop even further and we will start to see preventable illness, disability, and death

Hey, any financial regulator at all:
Tetracycline was the drug that started expiration dates, because it degenerates into toxic compounds. It's been replaced entirely by doxycycline and minocycline now. Not sure there's another harmful example out there.
It’s an open secret among medical professionals: Many drugs maintain their ability to combat ailments well after their expiration date. One pharmacist says he sometimes takes home expired OTC medicine so he and his family can use it.

The Myth of Drug Expiration Dates
Hospitals and pharmacies are required to toss expired drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the FDA has long known that many remain safe and potent for years longer.
