Had our first flu death in a previously healthy child. About 24 hour period between feeling ill and death. Every year most of our PICU admissions with influenza are not vaccinated. Don't skip yours.

Medical toxicologist here to confirm: all available, real-world data has proven mifepristone is actually even safer than many over the counter medicines.

Mortality rates:

Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000
Penicillin 2/100K
Viagra 4/100K

Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)
FYI
Viagra has more serious side effects than Mifepristone

Mifepristone has a lower risk of side effects than penicillin

So why is it such a big deal to these GOP boys anyway?
