"The Trump administration is preparing a plan that will make it harder for older Americans to qualify for Social Security disability payments" This is eugenics. Trump like other right wing regimes is trying to eliminate the disabled and old from society.

An RFK jr. Antivax cottage industry by the pathological homeopathic quacks. Parents tell the guy which vaccine they gave the child.The guy will formulates a detox based on the info 250.00 a treatment. This is not medicine or truth. Austistic kids dont need to be detoxed. Vaccines are safe.

Sometimes I think about how from 1935-1975ish, Bell Labs produced an insane amount of revolutionary science and technology, including 11 Nobel Prizes, the transistor, UNIX, C, the laser, the solar cell, information theory, etc. The secret? Provide scientists with ample, steady, no-strings funding.

🫡🇺🇦 On the first Sunday of October, Ukraine celebrates Territorial Defense Day. Soldiers who demonstrated courage and responsibility to the nation in the first hours of a full-scale invasion. We honor the memory of the fallen soldiers of Territorial Defense who gave their lives for Ukraine.

STING interceptors in the hands of the military from the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence unit 🚀💅🏻 Thanks for the great work and impressive results.

When you see a headline that makes a claim that sounds absolutely bananas & cites some “study”, don’t just believe it because the headline used one science word. Look at the source. Was it even peer reviewed? Where? What are experts in the field saying about it? If it sounds ridiculous it might be.

Needle-free vaccines could be made possible by stretching the skin to stimulate immune cells and increase its permeability, then applying a lotion that contains the vaccine dose.

A pregnant woman in Alberta, Canada contracted measles. This led to her baby being born prematurely. The baby died. Another preventable tragedy.

I have the privilege of working with fed agency folks. They've been jerked around, forced to move, had offices taken, lost resources, put on leave, fired, re-hired, *shot at*, and now furloughed. Still they return each day to help make America a bit more informed, healthier, and safer.

The Damage Done: @marianneguenot.bsky.social tells the story of clinical trials derailed by the administration's reckless science policy, across kidney disease, HIV, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer. Years of work and money thrown away, at times just short of a cure. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The earliest record of an English eel-rent is from 8th C. Wessex. The annual rent for 10 hides of land (c. 300 acres) in King Ine's territory included: - 10 vats of honey - 300 loaves - 32 ambers of ale - 2 cows - 10 geese - 20 hens - 10 cheeses - 1 amber of butter - 100 eels 🗃️🧪

In June 2023, @enirenberg.bsky.social & I wrote about this for TIME; it was 100% predictable that RFK Jr would, as HHS Secretary, push for mass infection instead of mass vaccination (which is also why he loves the Great Barrington Declaration guys who now do his bidding 😢) time.com/6289037/robe...

I do wonder what the final death toll will be, once he has successfully disrupted a *whole range* of highly effective public health programs; he's doing exactly as expected (he's been one of the world's most extreme & dangerous anti-vaxx activists & anti-science conspiracy theorists for decades)

Looking at all the MDPI etc pubs of recent mention among others

@jonathanjarry.bsky.social Is this what you meant by "terrible quality" trials of leucorovin? Thread

MDPI is a predatory publisher that became a vanity publisher for cranks. Autism quack Richard Frye, MD has been editor of 7 MDPI special issues! And of the 52 articles published in these issues so far, Frye is a co-author of 24 articles, or 46%!

The "lung float" test is being used to charge women with murder. Many experts say it's unreliable. “There’s no way you can determine live birth versus stillbirth with this test," said one doctor, who called the test “an outrageous breach of science.” (Pub. Oct. 2023)
