Thanks to the cameras they put there, Tiny Hands and Short Sleeves looked like meat headed bullies with the vocabulary of 4th graders, giving war-weary President Zelensky the opportunity to appeal, again, to the American voter. It's clear who won this one. It wasn't Donnie. Slava Ukraini🇺🇦

Your federal tax dollar at work. Talk about fraud, abuse and corruption! Me, working on the COVID ward at the VA, January 2021. This week: like all federal employees, we have received multiple confusing emails about the "Delayed Resignation Program". 🤦‍♀️

In honor of Trump's pick for HHS secretary, here is just one of the studies showing that vaccines DO NOT cause autism. In >2 mil. Danish children, >100k of which were unvaccinated, there was NO ASSOCIATION between MMR and autism spectrum disorders. (If the CI crosses 1.00, there's no relationship).

Someone told me recently that "COVID didn't even increase the death rate." Using CDC WONDER data, I created the graph below. As you can see, the any-cause death rate increased by about 20% by 2021, with the excess mortality attributable to COVID.
