True

Fluoride in drinking water has no effect on IQ or brain function, a long-term study shows. The new research is the first to measure community water fluoridation exposure during childhood and any potential impact on cognition up to age 80. The results contradict RFK Jr. statements.

It seems nuts to me that CNN has partnered with an online gambling site (Kalshi) and hypes their betting lines as “news” to report.

VARNEY: We were told coal is the dirtiest fuel & there are more CO2 emissions than from gas. Is that no longer true? BURGUM: It's true, but then the question goes back to reversal of the endangerment finding, which is, is CO2 a pollutant or something that helps plants grow? We know it's the latter

This would be so funny if it weren’t the top health official in the United States

Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,

They are kicking 11 million American citizens off Medicaid. None of them are undocumented. And every other American’s access to healthcare will be reduced by the impacts those cuts have on services and facilities.

$35 per treatment co-pay for dialysis. $105 a week just to stay alive. Irredeemable country.

I cannot believe how unqualified he is for this job.

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) had a survival rate of 10% in the 1960s. 75% of ALL cases are in kids under 6, btw. Today? It has a survival rate over 90%. That's thanks to: Chemotherapies Scientific research Biopharmaceutical therapies Evidence-based medicine 1/

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?

As the end-of-the-line person who treats poisonings & answers questions about poison, I use chemical sunscreen every day & would not use this product because it’s just a scam. No commercially-available sunscreens are “poison/poisonous” no matter what influencers say to get you to buy their products.

The Senate is considering a bill to spend money on “TruBLOC,” a “fentanyl-neutralizing spray” for law enforcement, which is actually just an Axe bodyspray canister that sprays orange latex on drugs to prevent “powder form fentanyl (from) exploding” bc they think LEOs are ODing on fentanyl in the air

Does it matter if the pilot has never landed an aircraft before?

This administration takes antisemitism seriously. That's why we removed The Diary of Ann Frank from all federal libraries.

"We cannot give everyone a trial," says the president of these United States.

In a proper country it would be a crime to knowingly harm children by practicing medicine without a license (and willfully lying to further a grift)

Fluid restriction associated with trend to worse QoL and greater thirst in stable outpatients with HF. No difference in safety. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

There is evidence COVID switches platelets from a haemostatic to an inflammatory role. The result is increased immunothrombosis but impaired hemostasis ie more clotting AND bleeding.

This is a real tweet posted by the official White House government account. Yes, really.

What bothers me is when America fully turns on trump, it’ll be for like, the price of gas or eggs and not for all the facism.

If that second name sounds familiar, it's because he wrote this in March 24, 2020

Fired! Acting NIH Dir. Matthew Memoli has just fired me from my membership in the Board of Scientific Counselors of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences' Division of Translational Toxicology. 1/2 @altnih4science.bsky.social

Okay, but how could we have possibly known Hegseth's lack of experience would lead to a colossal national security disaster?

Whether it's the Navajo code talkers helping to defeat the Nazis or it's Nazis removing all mention of the Navajo code talkers from the US military's website, the conflict between Nazis and Navajo code talkers has continued for over 80 years.

The effect of COVID-19 vaccination on the risk of persistent post COVID-19 condition: Cohort study ✅ Just Accepted #IDSky

RFK reading the chemical names of food ingredients has the same energy as that kid in middle school who insisted on calling water dihydrogen monoxide And both have the same level of science literacy

Opinion | Trump has imprisoned me in Guantánamo Bay. Here’s why I’m still glad I voted for him.

Just let me try and cure cancer for fucks sake.

I understand wanting to show compassion to someone in crisis. However. After getting devastating news, most people do not return to the hospital with zip ties and a gun and tie up staff and shoot them. That is a bad person, and we need to have better protection for HCWs. www.cnn.com/2025/02/24/u...

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

Every vaccine already requires informed consent by law. This is pure antivaxx disinformation, now coming from the CDC.

Love that the leader of HHS doesn’t know a damn thing about clinical research.

How do you “accidentally” fire someone? Can the media stop pretending these aren’t just incredibly stupid people making stupid decisions that they aren’t qualified (or legally allowed) to make?

Fentanyl cannot get into your system unless you ingest it. “Fentanyl exposure” is not a thing. If the police don’t know basic chemistry or physics then they probably should stop cosplaying as experts on toxicology

In December 2024 the U.S. Senate passed the Cardiomyopathy Health, Education, Awareness, Research, and Training in Schools (HEARTS) Act (H.R. 6829), a landmark bill aimed at preventing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in young people. #HeartMonth

Pfizer’s cancer drug commercial was beautiful, but their breast cancer drug Ibrance costs $10k per month and their prostate cancer drug Xtandi costs $22k per month. Beautiful commercials don’t change the fact that 42% of cancer patients exhaust their life savings in 2 years.

You absolutely are not allowed to be in charge of science funding if you don’t know the difference between transgenic and transgender, and you should probably lose your $175/yr taxpayer job if you’re this bad at it

This is so embarrassing for someone who claims to be a practicing oncologist
