It's official: The CDC is no longer trustworthy.
Its website contradicts 40+ high-quality studies involving 5.6 MILLION people.
The reason? RFK Jr. is Health Secretary.
This is what happens when politics replaces science.

I need specialists to understand that if you tell the patient:
"I recommend a treatment... but your family doctor needs to start it."
...they will call my office *twice a day* in a panic about why your consult note hasn't arrived yet and why I haven't sent a Rx.
Please don't be that guy.
