Wow. Nice to see Makary regurgitating old lab leak conspiracy theories about HIV. This should serve as a reminder that *every* new pathogen that’s caused an epidemic or pandemic since the age of genetic engineering has spawned conspiracy theories that it was created in and/or leaked from a lab.
While Makary spreads bullshit about the origin of HIV.
(To be clear, this has been thoroughly investigated and fits neither the timing nor the molecular epidemiology of HIV).

Casey Means, the nominee for surgeon general, created a company to sell these monitors for healthy people.
I also wonder about the role of wearables like these in NIH research.

RFK Jr. is flogging wearable diet/exercise monitors that cost “80 bucks a month”. This is a good demonstration of his complete lack of understanding about public health and people with differing resources from those that he enjoys.

The MAHA pitch was: to transfer American 'heathcare' dollars from FDA-approved and evidence-based products... to the Wellness Industry that every MAHA leader has financial stake in. An industry that is projected to value at $9T globally by 2028.
The MAHA pitch was supposed to be that Americans don’t really need insurance, vaccines, or other “establishment” medical care — they just need better nutrition and less exposure to environmental toxins.

Background: More than 18,600 BCers have been killed by unregulated drugs since 2014. The gov has tried some harm reduction but thousands have still died. DULF decided to break drug laws, which they say were unjust, to provide pure, labelled drugs to high-risk users in a compassion club.
