Sick, sick mindsets. Go to the Holocaust Museum in DC, remind yourself of the absolute depravity and horrors of starving families being tortured, killed, hair and teeth extracted, dumped in mass graves… we (Democrats, Republican, independents) MUST RALLY AGAINST anti-American would-be Nazis.

And the ironic thing is that according to this logic, we could also dismiss an RFK Jr death from Covid because he has at least four chronic diseases, including atrial fibrillation, brain worms, mercury poisoning, and spastic dysphonia (previous public domain disclosures).

Thanks @sarah-todd.bsky.social for an excellent read about MAHA and the "cooking with seed oil" profitable panic right now. A really good video, too! I feel better informed, and less likely to freak out and buy a "Make Frying oil Tallow Again" hat.

The legendary Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) gone, just like that. Since 1951, these disease detectives have hit the pavement and secured vital information needed to face emerging threats to our lives.

Heinous—Trump WH/HHS is planning to likely destroy $500 million worth of stockpiled COVID tests. They could give it out for free, but then Trump and RFK Jr would have to admit COVID is serious. And minimizers don’t have the guts to admit millions died. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

@corybooker.com Hi Senator! Family doc and Substack writer here. Would love to help promote and highlight your NO SHT legislation. Any hope of this passing? Keep the gloves off in general, like your Kash questioning. The horrified resistance will flock to that.

Here’s my take on the more deadly variant H5N1 showing up in cows last week. It’s not good. But it’s worth mooing like hell (and raising it) with your senator NOW:

"Life is a jungle" misses how real jungles thrive through cooperation - trees share nutrients via fungi, birds spread seeds, species help each other survive. Success comes through symbiosis, not just competition. USAID is a cooperative approach. Welcome to the jungle. Welcome!

Maybe you need an emetic to induce vomiting? Try reading this post about how conservatives are baselessly blaming mass shootings on trans people in their rightwing echo chambers. I had no idea. "Easy targets" of violence lead to easy escalation of violence against us all, too:

It's a real shame and waste of time that we have to pretend nominees like RFK Jr. have any qualifications or stature being where they are. I called Senator and Dr. Bill Cassidy (R), who is at least flinching with this nomination. Tell him to uphold both his oaths to medicine and to country:

How's your shitty public health weekend going? Communications freezes, vaccine information sheet deletions, research and meetings cancelled, WHO withdrawal and disrespect, hiring freezes, remote work attrition, gag rules reinstated, RFK Jr. making a mockery of qualifications. Resist, my friends:

Women are hunters, a fact that is self-evident over the past 300,000 years of anatomically modern humans. Hunters are like soldiers in many ways. To suggest women are physically incapable of being combat soldiers if they want to be is just not supported by the science. Please read this, Hegseth:

Except that Fauci was right, and masks do work. A comprehensive review of over 100 studies across multiple disciplines confirmed that masks and respirators effectively reduce respiratory infection transmission, with effectiveness increasing with proper and consistent usage. journals.asm.org/doi/10…

RFK Jr. opposed the life-saving Covid vaccine just six months into the pandemic. Peddled anti-science conspiracies. Waffled on women's reproductive rights. And he wants us to trust him to make health care decisions for Americans? I have serious concerns — and 175 questions.

Nothing new here, but a great review nonetheless of Covid effects on coronary arteries, mitochondria, and inflammation. It’s one of the reasons I try to keep my patients on a statin while taking Paxlovid. Pravastatin can be used as it is not contraindicated. Going to write a post on this soon!

RFK Jr., Trump's HHS nominee, has a troubling history of challenging the HPV vaccine through lawsuits and public statements, claiming it's unsafe despite scientific evidence showing it prevents cancer. He gets paid mad money to do so. Here’s an important article, and two great quotes below👇
