“The CDC said in its 2024 report—which compared data from two time periods, 2011-2013 and 2020-2022—that stroke prevalence had risen nationally by almost 8%. But among people aged 18 to 44, the prevalence of stroke increased by almost 15%”

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

I don’t think people outside of healthcare realize how much AAP is standing out as a moral backbone of medicine right now, especially in pediatrics. There is so much fear at institutions. Seeing an org directly and repeatedly targeted refuse to budge an inch is extraordinary.

Funny how "overstimulation" is only just now a problem for people in their 30s; the world sure as hell was a stimulating place when I was in my 30s, after all...
"Memory Lapses in Your 30s? The Brain Fog Epidemic Linked To Overstimulation"
Dr Kumar concluded, "Memory lapses in your 30s aren't a personal failing; they're a modern epidemic. When your brain is constantly 'on,' it forgets how to slow down and store information."

Every major medical organization is calling out HHS right now — and they should, but far fewer are doing so explicitly in part in defense of trans kids. So much silence from most of healthcare, and then there’s one loud voice asking incredulously “are you really not going to say something?”
