After sacking the entire vaccine committee, RFKJr announced with whom he intends to replace them, and they’re lots of anti-vax Great Barrington Declaration MAGA Qanon types.

If you “agree with” any of MAHA you’re signing onto eugenics.
MAHA is a movement involving anti-vax eugenicist principles. Even if you can pick out one little part of it that sounds ok, do you really want to sign on to the stink of eugenics?
John Fetterman hangs out at known MAGA hangout and then says meeting with Steve Bannon wasn’t intentional.
The Hill: Fetterman spotted with Bannon…
American Medical Association calls for a senate investigation into CDC ACIP committee firings ahead of the vaccine meeting.
The public comments period opened and CDC ACIP committee members were all abruptly fired.
When I see a product has “Artificial Intelligence” I immediately assume it’s a piece of crap.
And the marketing buzzwords of “AI” signals to me that it comes with a huge price tag of horrendous collateral damage. When are companies going to realize that announcing they’re using AI isn’t the selling point they think it is? That saying that a product has AI in it immediately signals that their product is […]
Anti-mRNA is Anti-Vax.
Make no mistake, people spreading fear of mRNA vaccines are spreading anti-vax misinformation.
I was on The Letterhack Presents with Matt Strackbein to talk about why FAFO doesn’t matter because there’s no Invisible Hand of the Market. .
DOES FAFO EVEN MATTER? – #MAGA REFUSES TO #LEARN W/ CHLOE HUMBERT! – The Letterhack Among other aspects, we talked about how people didn’t learn from the pandemic, and once you F around and find out unvaccinated, it’s too late for the kids who died to “learn” anything from such an experience.
Trump’s immigration scheme is really just a corrupt and unfair boondoggle.
The criminal justice system and prisons and immigrant detentions shouldn’t be outsourced or run for profit for any reason.
There’s no magic in any of the covid tests on the market.
Getting what’s convenient (and legal) for yourself is the way to go. There are no silver bullets available anyhow. You still need a multi-layered strategy. There’s no a la carte option if you want to, or need to, avoid covid. I have heard that people are contemplating or suggesting switching to pet covid tests just […]
CDC ACIP doctor already explained the problem with “shared decision making” on vaccine recommendations.
And I quoted this in my CDC ACIP public comment.
Netflix takes Sesame Street as spoils of the defunding of public broadcasting.
Good gravy don’t buy into the “privatization will save us from authoritarianism” narrative.
The headline we should be seeing: Two cryptocurrency selling regimes in the Americas join together to leave world health behind and form their own bs wellness organization.
Unfortunately the media isn’t doing a great job with this one.
I don’t trust Paul Offit.
I wouldn’t recommend looking to Paul Offit for leadership on vaccines, because what the Trump administration is doing he was lobbying for in the Biden administration all along. This is from a thread I posted on social media after becoming concerned that people might think this is the guy to lead up championing vaccine access. If you […]
Pennsylvania American Water seems a little nervous.
I’m seeing PA American Water commercials on youtube making claims about how safe and reliable they are. You know it’s bad and they’re probably feeling some heat. There must be a lot of people writing letters like I have about the fees, the slow processing of payments, the dirty water without notice, and the pollution of our local river.
Cryptocurrency isn’t all it’s cracked up to be in fact, but one guy is getting some bribes.
Cryptocurrency! Crime is legal — but the actual dollars aren’t showing up 24th May 2025 – by David Gerard (video) The crypto industry was hoping the President of the United States personally endorsing crypto would finally be the starter’s pistol for a new crypto bubble! But nobody new is getting into crypto. Except so they […]
Shadowbanning is happening and communities are definitely messed with on social media.
This is not just about shitposting. Do not rely on one platform for communicating with people who you would like to stay in touch with. Will Sam Altman and His AI Kill Us All? The Bulwark May 23, 2025 Karen Hao: “she consistently felt like she was being shadowbanned and when I talked with um researchers […]
Why did the Trump administration rendition Burmese and Vietnamese immigrants to South Sudan.
Are people still using the term “constitutional crisis” or did the fancy people abandon that phrase now?
All that the Trump regime intends is chaos, including in space and planetary sciences.
Slashing science budgets are causing chaos and waste taxpayer investment.
Weirdo anti-vax infectious disease denier wonders why people who get vaccinated don’t want hugs from her.
Anti-vaxxers often say that they simply don’t want to be compelled to get vaccinated, which is also anti-vax, because vaccines work best with large uptake. But then they clearly want to stop other people getting vaccinated…
Alligators knock doors in Florida.
This is going to put a damper on getting better politicians elected in Florida. Too close for comfort: Gators seen scratching and knocking on front doors of 3 Florida homes WSVN-TV May 12, 2025 Maybe I’m cynical but I can’t help suspect this is a PR planted story as covert marketing for doorbell cameras because […]
Comparing “AI companions” to “traditional relationships” is bunk PR.
To frame this as “non-traditional” relationship is wrong, because it’s not a relationship, because it’s an LLM chatbot.
AI is shoddy, and it’s used as a shadowbanning assist.
I decided to read this book “Empire of AI” after an interview with the author Karen Hao on the Better Offline podcast, which covers the technical and financial no there there of AI. And in this interview by Tim Miller at the Bulwark with Karen Hao, they talk about environmental impacts, but I think this […]
