Why in hell would anyone believe a rushed report by a Harvard Professor paid $150k for a court case over the 2024 Swedish study of 2.5 million children born between 1995 and 2019, with nearly 186,000 children exposed to paracetamol in pregnancy, that found no association with autism? #EpsteinFiles

I've been saying this for a long time. The alternative medicine/antivax idea that you can ward off disease and make yourself healthy through, in essence, sheer willpower, doing the "right things," and eating the right foods implies that if you are sick or not healthy it's *your* fault.

A pastor confessed to abusing a child during a recorded conversation with a fellow pastor.

This isn’t justice. It’s legal protection for predators.

Religion has too often protected predators instead of children.

That’s why Washington passed a clergy reporting law — and why Catholic bishops (with help from the DOJ) are trying to overturn it.

When abuse is confessed, it should be reported — not hidden behind holy privilege.
