Some of the mammogram myths we keep hearing:
❌ "Mammogram radiation causes breast cancer"
❌ "The compression can make cancer burst and spread"
❌ "The radiation is dangerous"
None of this is true!

When synthetic fibers shed, they release microplastics and chemicals that enter our water, air, soil, and even our bodies. Scientists are still uncovering the health impacts, but early studies raise concerns ranging from organ damage in animals to possible risks in humans.

🌟 Meet the synthetic fibers all around us! They're in the clothes we wear and the cars we drive, our sports gear, medical supplies, packaging, and even our homes! But did you know these “man-made” fibers have some potential risks?

🥩👶 From beef tallow bottles to baby “menus” of liver and ground beef… the “infant carnivore” trend is making headlines. But is it actually healthy—or even safe? We break down the history of this trend and the science behind an animal-only menu for infants.

🧰 If someone asks why we needed mRNA when other vaccines worked fine, here’s what you can say: We didn’t need it for diseases we’d already conquered. We needed it for the battles we couldn’t win with our old tools.

The summer of 2025 brought news of several cases of infection with brain eating amoeba and flesh eating bacteria. These infections are extremely rare and exposure in most coastal waters in the US is unlikely but we wanted to give some background on these fascinating microbes.

Remember:
⚠️ VAERS reports ≠ proof of cause.
✅ Serious vaccine side effects are extremely rare.
✅ Millions of kids have safely been vaccinated.
✅ COVID-19 infection—not the vaccine—is what has caused deaths in children.
Don’t let misinformation twist VAERS data – check the evidence behind the claim.

VAERS is an early-warning system—like Wikipedia, anyone can post a report, even if it isn’t true or related. Reports don’t mean vaccines caused the problem, which is why scientists always investigate patterns before drawing conclusions.
When VAERS gets misused, it leads to scary but false headlines.

🚨 Don’t let VAERS myths fool you!
You may have seen claims that “VAERS proves COVID-19 vaccines killed kids.” That’s not what VAERS shows.
