Hi! I specialize in medication toxicity. 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)
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)
Dr. Marty Makary said Monday that the FDA will review the pill’s safety, after Sen. Josh Hawley amplified a bogus “study” on mifepristone and RFK Jr. said he asked Makary to conduct a “complete review."

RFK Jr.’s Misdirection Gambit
On February 18, 2025, RFK Jr. outlined his agenda for the nation’s largest public health agency. Unfortunately, it had little to do with public health.

Whether YOU personally can pronounce it or whether you’re familiar with it means literally nothing with regard to how a chemical behaves or potential risks of exposure.
We need basic chemistry education.

The scientific names for chemicals?
Tell scientists how molecules and atoms are arranged, because that tells us how those chemicals interact and behave.
Long names don’t mean a chemical is “bad”
Short names don’t mean a chemical is “good”

The chemical identity matters. That’s defined by the chemical formula.
The dose of a chemical matters.
The route of exposure matters.
Synthetic vitamin C? Same as vitamin C in a food.
Formaldehyde used for viral inactivation? Same as the formaldehyde your body makes.

It would be great if EVERYONE stopped using the word chemical as “a bad word”
Everything is chemicals.
You are chemicals.
The source of a chemical doesn’t impact it.
Natural chemicals aren’t better.
Synthetic chemicals aren’t either.
They’re all just chemicals.

Well - not enough of us did that.

1) chimps DO develop cancer.
2) Chimps have different expression of tumor suppressor genes.
3) chimps have different length of telomeres—“caps” that protect DNA.
4) chimps live to ~40 years. Median age of cancer in humans is 61.
Oh — and humans are NOT chimps.
Hope this helps! 🙃

RFK Jr's nonprofit is a fkin joke—but a dangerous one.
The levels they go to monetize fear, paranoia, and misinformation is absurd.

Over the last century, we've dramatically increased agricultural productivity and food security through science and innovation.
Why would we want to reverse that progress?

GMO crops use science to improve hybrids. Let’s stop being scared of science tools that measurably improve our health & our planet.
And let’s stop giving anti-science activists like EWG and Greenpeace a megaphone.

No farmer wants to poison their customers or themselves & their families.
Stop letting influencers & politicians spread misinformation.
Addition: Organic food isn’t pesticide-free! Many organic pesticides are used at higher levels than even non-GMO conventional crops.

My 2 cents. Find every news source the has an RSS feed or equivalent and create accounts that that show their public deeds on here under @johndoetimesfeed
That way we all get access to news without having to wait for them to create accounts first.
