If you disliked Vinay Prasad's CBER memo that outlined his plans to destroy evidence-based vaccine regulation based on unsupported claims that COVID vaccines kill children, you are REALLY going to hate what is going down at this week’s ACIP meeting.

6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

Patient-blaming rhetoric is baked into alternative medicine.

The idea is that if you could just...

“Change your mindset”
“Live naturally”
“Eliminate toxins” (with supplements)
“Resolve trauma”

...then you can avoid serious health conditions such as cancer.
