Gupta: It’s clear that there’s age-related cognitive decline.

He’s confused a lot. He sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he’s asked a question in the Oval Office.

Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason

An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention.

Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.

Why is the head of the world’s preeminent medical science research institute relying on an anonymous, anti-vax, software engineer known only as “Ben” for his COVID epidemiology?

The answer does not bode well for the future of science based medicine.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

HHS used to have a way to search for a vaccine delivering pharmacy in your community at www.vaccines.gov/en/

Guess what? IT DOESN’T WORK ANYMORE!

Vaccine preventable diseases literally KILL CHILDREN, there is NO EVIDENCE they cause autism & the fact that we’re even having this conversation in 2025 would be a FUCKING JOKE if it didn’t mean that kids who can’t help the fact that their parents are making BAD DECISIONS are ACTUALLY GOING TO DIE.

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies.

Someone in US intel - at ODNI - was promoting it:

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

A study from Kaiser Permanente demonstrated that maternal Tdap was 90 % effective against #pertussis in the first two months of life. It was 56 % effective in the first 12 months.
