The Placebo Myth Picked the Wrong War
There’s a medical myth with which a friend of mine and I have become obsessed: this idea that scientific research into the “placebo effect” began in earnest during World War II. As I’ve written before...

I don’t think people realize how monstrous the destruction of USAID was.
It was stuff like locking warehouses of medicines the US had ALREADY paid for. Discharging sick people from hospital. Cutting HIV meds w/ no notice.
They were warned people would die, and we know the names of people who did

A year ago Elon Musk tweeted that he had fed USAID "into the wood chipper."
It was an act that killed people. We don't know most of their names, but we know 27. I've listed them below.
Much like with Renee Good + Alex Pretti, we should also remember these lives taken by the cruel men who lead us
