Tom Renz, a podcaster who has's been a prominent figure in the anti-vax movement in recent years, suggested last week that Bill & Hillary Clinton "love adrenochrome" — referencing the false QAnon-tied conspiracy theory — & that Hillary Clinton "needed an extra shot of adrenochrome."

Texas AG Ken Paxton has declared that it is illegal for mental health providers and therapists to treat trans youth. It means that trans youth will be denied access to any mental healthcare that isn't conversion therapy. Paxton also threatens parents of trans youth with child abuse investigations.

I had to renegotiate my F99/K00 award twice in 6 months, and on both occasions I asked what specifically “DEI activities” means. I didn’t get clear answers, so I was hopeful the person that directive came from could specify (the NIH Director). I asked the on @whyshoulditrustyou.bsky.social podcast

Is the FDA is Hiding “Evidence” the COVID Vaccine Killed Children? It's everything anti-vaxxers have been crowing about for decades.

3 months ago, Vinay Prasad "leaked" a memo promising a "profound revelation" that the COVID vaccine killed at least 10 children.

If taken at face value (😂) they are hiding the evidence.

My latest on the incompetence and malevolence at the FDA.

You’ve got to click through to really be able to read this, but note that the box on the top right says this will actually be a two-level facility, with around 5,200 beds on the ground floor (if I’m reading the blurry text right) and around 3,100 on the “mezzanine.”

FDA chief Marty Makary says 'everything should be over the counter' unless drug is unsafe or addictive Makary said the FDA is looking at prescription drugs like nausea medications and vaginal estrogen, and hopes to make changes this year.

FDA Chief Makary just said that most drugs should be sold over the counter and not require a prescription, unless it’s “unsafe, you need laboratory tests to monitor…or if it could be used for some nefarious purpose or it's addictive”.

these ladies are two prominent disinformationistas—one less so than the other (to her chagrin i’m sure)—known for their affinity for drugs not proven for what they care to prescribe them for.

How one country stopped a Trump-style authoritarian in his tracks What Brazil got right that America got wrong.

The Brazilian political system is, structurally, very similar to the American one. But when they elected a Trump-style authoritarian back in 2018, their Congress and Supreme Court actually fought back.

I went to Brazil to find out why. And what I learned surprised me.

Appalling: During Trump's effort to indict Dems for the video warning against carrying out illegal orders, one of their lawyers asked prosecutors to say what statute was allegedly violated, I'm told. They failed to name one. Then they tried to indict anyway.

The Road from SARS-CoV-2 to RFK Jr How COVID broke our social immune system

SARS-CoV-2 infected more than our bodies.
It infected our institutions.
I call it Acquired Social Immune Deficiency Syndrome (ASIDS) — the erosion of trust, coordination, and scientific authority that began during the pandemic and now shapes federal science policy.

Cuba’s Food and Water Supplies Threatened Under U.S. Pressure, U.N. Says Mexico, Chile and other countries said they were rushing aid to the Caribbean island, but economists said it would do little to alleviate the crisis

The US is creating a humanitarian crisis in Cuba. Trump's & Rubio's blockade is punishing the Cuban people, not the regime.

We must learn from 6 decades of failed Cuba-policy & reverse course.

FDA refuses to consider Moderna flu shot in move experts claim is part of ‘anti-vaccine agenda’ Agency says application rejected due to lack of ‘adequate and well controlled’ trial, but experts say ‘they’re just coming up with reasons’

I have heard (not from @melodyschreiber.com ) that the anonymous officer was FDA commissioner Makary. To reiterate: not identifying yourself says you can't stand behind the decision. You're a government official: face the public.
Be transparent.
