5 years from now there will be a string of stories in the mainstream media trying to understand why the US nursing shortage has continued to worsen.
If they are now saying these degrees are worthless, then the student loans shouldn't have to repaid.
I’m a Black higher ed lawyer, formerly in-house counsel at Harvard and top expert on Project 2025.
This is Project 2025 in action, dismantling the Department of Education; no Congressional approval, no public comment periods, nothing.
No coming back from this, folks. It didn’t have to be this way.

I just came across this absurd passage in Casey Means’ “Good Energy”. It’s ironic that earlier in the book she laments we taught her nothing about inflammation during her time at Stanford.
(The cause of lower avg body temp is believed to be better general health & less chronic inflammation today.)

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

I think what they meant was he had a cardiac arrest & his ICD successfully shocked him.
Ironically, a single ICD shock actually isn’t necessarily a huge deal that needs to be downplayed by his team - if that’s what happened.
