i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

Hey this reminds me of that time CBER Director Vinay Prasad forced FDA scientists to withdraw a manuscript on a similar topic from the journal I edit. Now it’s Podcast Jay’s turn! The actual standards for Gold Standard Science are unclear besides “vaccines bad, corruption good”

Truer words have never been spoken.

A ballroom over a bunker. Glitter on top — collapse underneath.

Another friendly reminder from the lunatic world of crazy acronyms — MAGA, MAHA, and beyond.

This indecent, petulant man is unfit to be president.

A friendly reminder.

You can’t relate to people you’ve never lived like. But pundits keep pretending he does.

A gunman shot at the CDC, killing an officer. Trump hasn’t said a word. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Jay Bhattacharya, an economist who has never practiced medicine and doesn’t conduct biomedical research, thinks that you and your loved ones dying from diseases that could have been cured is worth it cause antivaxxers are nicer to him on social media than people who know how anything works

Amen.

In 1993, Trump lobbied against Native American casinos because they were outperforming his own, and he did so using racially charged language and baseless accusations. It was all about greed, control, and his own failing casino empire. youtu.be/Aso10pZpXdw?...

Batshit Bobby Kennedy praises in his book e.g. “holistic psychiatrist” Kelly Brogan, who touts the health benefits of coffee enemas and urine therapy. This is what happens when you normalize pseudoscience & farm distrust.

The only thing in life where he probably competed fairly to be on the top!

Silence from Felon on a white domestic terrorist murdering firefighters, but hey — priorities: gettrumpfragrances.com

#AirborneInfection I have realised a persistent reluctance to acceptance of word “Airborne” in context of infections like TB or measles in the past & Covid now, probably because it demands making “Air” uncontaminated @organicbotanic.bsky.social @elhopkins.bsky.social @njbbari3.bsky.social

Long covid mainittu 🙏🏻

A friendly reminder: Science operates on facts, not opinions. Stay curious, stay critical 😎

Hope anyone in need or homeless sees this

Funny how the paperwork only matters when it’s a woman or minority voter.

Disturbing throughline in today’s elite narratives—Musk’s IVF + sex selection, Trump’s “good genes,” Bhattacharya’s herd immunity, RFK Jr.’s anti-vax crusade. A rebrand of social Darwinism. Survival=virtue. Vulnerability=failure. A eugenics-flavored worldview where weakness deserves no protection.

It starts to look uncomfortably like glorified puppy milling—except with humans. The idea that women have some moral obligation to produce offspring for the “greater good” reeks of the same creepy utilitarianism that treats dogs as breeding stock in a kennel. This is theocratic fascism.

"When the dogma becomes legislation that’s when you have the danger. I have this horrible fear that the United States could wind its way toward being a fascist theocracy. The cross converted into a symbol of fascism in the service of politics. This is bad" - Frank Zappa (a genuine genius, btw)

MAGA

If Magalomaniacs had a clue but they don’t.

MAGA’s contradictions—hating “commies” yet loving Putin, bashing the Pope while claiming Christian values—aren’t logical. It’s emotion and identity, rejecting a world they feel left behind. Putin’s defiance, not ideology, draws them. Project 2025? A power grab sold as salvation.

When Hitler took power in 1933, he opened Dachau—not for Jews, but for journalists & political foes. Authoritarianism starts with silencing dissent. Trump called the press “enemy of the people” & wants to jail opponents. If you’re not afraid, you’re not paying attention.

MAGA, MAGA “...the rank and file are usually much more primitive than we imagine. Propaganda must therefore always be essentially simple and repetitious.” “A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth” - Joseph Goebbels

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

RFK Jr. is not a scientist. Here’s what children with autism actually need.

The right’s “bastion of Christian values” just once again killed large amounts of innocent civilians by launching a ballistic missile at a city center during Palm Sunday. The day after Witkoff was following Putin around like an obedient little puppy.

Yesterday I bought a coffee for $3. Now I have a $3 trade deficit with the coffee shop so I am imposing a 50% trade tariff on them. Today my coffee cost me $4.50. Art of the Deal!

This ain't no joke. This guy is insane and bad for everyone.

Imagine the fake outrage if any of us did this.

So much winning by Orange Buffoon aka Felon.

The resemblance is uncanny.

It’s not about security or people. This is what those greedy pathetic fuckers want from Greenland. Underneneath Greenland’s vast, icy surface lie some of the richest raw material deposits on Earth.

“It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.” —Peter Marks

Stop Felon, Elon and Vance. DOGE=RAGE (i.e. "Retire All Government Employees") and Orange Buffoon's cabinet is executing it. That's why Kennedy, Bondi, Gabbard, Rubio, Waltz, Johnson, Hegseth, Patel and other 'their people' have been nominated. www.theverge.com/2024/10/16/2...

Over the weekend we asked the British public to describe in a word how they felt about the Trump-Zelenskyy Oval Office meeting. The answers somewhat speak for themselves.
