Contact your Representatives. RFK Jr’s recent MAHA report is not only disinformation, it is clearly written by AI and uses 7 sources that were never written. He is a DANGER to American health and science legitimacy in his current role. drnoc.substack.com/p/enough-is-...

“This week, Trump asked pharmaceutical companies to lower prices, but there is no enforcement mechanism. So some pharmaceutical stock prices actually increased on the day of his announcement. Real change requires either changing laws or standing up to powerful lobbying industries.”

We have been propagandized to believe that it's perfectly normal to have 4% of the world's population and 22% of the world's prisoners. We're told the US has more crime, or more bad people than other societies. The idea that criminality is innate, that "they're not like us,"
