Anyone telling anyone that people refused covid mitigations because of personal choice based on rational rejection of vaccines, testing, masks, and remote work, is either lying or themselves a fool.

The federal government is essentially embracing eugenics programming.
My letter to the editor, and to elected reps who are supposed to be overseeing healthcare and science, but Republicans seem to be embracing a new Dark Ages instead.

The brain is a physical organ.
I found an article about inappropriate things professionals in healthcare settings have been heard saying, and a lot of it is pretty bad.
Egregious levels of health insurance denial.
This guy’s sister was approved for the same genetic condition drug, while he was in decline and being denied.
