New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like:

“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”

“I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”

Almost every House Rep voted to release the Epstein files but it’s no cause for celebration. It just takes pressure off reps who got flack for stating they would vote no. Bondi will do Trump’s bidding & start an investigation. He’ll say his hands are tied. Can’t release them.

“Adrenal fatigue” was invented by the wellness industry.

It’s a fake diagnosis.

It’s pseudoscience.

If you’ve been given a diagnosis of “adrenal fatigue,” your symptoms are real, but that diagnosis is not.

“Adrenal fatigue” is not a real medical condition, but some claim it is real and that medicine is ignoring it. What does the science say?

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
