Return to Normalcy is not progress anyway.
I hope we all realize by now that nothing will ever be the same again, there’s no normal to return to, and let’s face it normal was never all it was cracked up to be. On the anniversary of the pandemic declaration by the WHO, I’m reflecting on the fact that nothing has really ever […]

Many will be following the politics, not the science.
Many scientists, medical professionals, and public health leadership followed the politics when it came to masks in the pandemic, or vaccines, and even were swayed by right-wing advertising that targeted liberals.

Kevin Hassett is an economist with a history of being way wrong. At a press briefing, the Trump administration spokesperson Karoline Leavitt explicitly blamed the egg prices on the Biden administration’s Department of Agriculture quote “directing the mass killing of 100 million chickens.” Of course this was because of avian influenza and the threat posed […]
Bizarre RFKJR confirmation hearing.
RFKJr is a terrible anti-vaxxer. But there are so many other problems as well with him taking over the entirety of the federal healthcare in the US. The threat can’t be overstated.
Childhood milestone pandemic misinformation zombie.
There’s a need to resist tantalizing stories that are not true and may actually be harmful, no matter how relatable and true the narrative may seem initially.
Trump administration hides critical health and safety information from the public.
