Health disinformation & pseudoscience promotion will likely get much worse.
It’s really unlikely that there will be any policy reforms in the US to combat medical misinformation any time soon.
Gavin Newsom is pushing state workers to get butts in seats downtown for fossil fuel and business interests.
This guy’s sad podcast platforming a far right bigot isn’t the first or only extremely anti progressive garbage from Gavin Newsom. Just write this guy off.
Don’t shove dubious stuff up your nose, just put on an N95 mask.
“Unproven products can seem attractive, especially when social media marketing overhypes potential benefits, without mention of risks or uncertainties.” – Kaitlin Sundling
Can we please end loser leftism and extol the public good?
Stop thinking “if only we could convince people” of something, that things would change. Just stop that. It’s not about explaining.
We need a shadow government to scrutinize everything that happens at HHS.
Every policy decision and everything that comes out of that entire HHS department, and all the agencies within, needs to be scrutinized.
Herd immunity misinformation on the left.
Youtube served up a liberal channel with healthcare professionals that were ostensibly criticizing RFKJr – though I feel like they were trying to bothsides the guy, buying into some of his claims they think they agree with. But the issue is that covid vaccine uptake was never great even for the original series, it never […]
Not the worst pandemic takes, but why do people seem to miss the experience of entire segments of the population?
And it’s not that I’m alone or unique because I know many many people who are in similar situations to me. Marketplace – Make Me Smart Unpacking our collective COVID-19 trauma, five years on Episode 1347 Mar 11, 2025 David Wallace-Wells was on Marketplace podcast talking about the covid pandemic declaration anniversary and was surprisingly […]
Offering vaccines at hospitals should be standard across the board.
Now is the time to track your state level legislation around vaccinations. To find out about bills and actions you can sign up for the free citizen level versions of a variety of “bill tracking services” – apps that will send you emails daily or in weekly digests, on topics and keywords you use.
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 […]
Medicaid info town hall by Pennsylvania state Rep Kosierowski.
I listened to the whole thing in case you can’t or don’t want to. (Voila, you can thank me later!)
Taxpayer money to be thrown into the nonsense hole.
And I’m sure there’s plenty of scummy clout chasing pathetic scientists and total nonsense believing kook doctors will be willing to follow the politics right into garbage medical disinformation promotion.
RFKJr is pushing Great Barrington Declaration “natural herd immunity” eugenics pseudoscience for bird flu.
RFK Jr. warns vaccinating poultry for bird flu could backfire By Alexander Tin March 6, 2025 / 4:00 PM EST / CBS News We’ve in fact said, at the USDA, that they should consider maybe the possibility of letting it run through the flock so that we can identify the birds and preserve the birds that are […]
There is no real substitute for case surveillance.
Cases in case surveillance means a count of actual diagnosed cases of a disease. National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) What is Case Surveillance? Case surveillance is foundational to public health practice. It helps us to understand diseases and their spread and determine appropriate actions to control outbreaks. Case surveillance occurs each time public health […]
New FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino never stopped promoting anti-vax nonsense for political attention.
Conservatives have admitted to running ad campaigns to convince liberals to be anti-mask, so I don’t doubt there’s been target marketing of anti-vax aimed at democrats.
RFKJr continues to tell pandemic denial lies, resurrecting old canards of propaganda.
America needs a shadow government organized to scrutinize and investigate everything that happens within HHS.
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. And all this will only get worse now that the federal purse in the US is held out for those who are willing to sell out patients and public health.
The problems with MAID in context.
Human euthanasia cannot be considered as a standalone question, because like everything else, it has to exist in the worst societal contexts – some that are a reality right now.
Steve Bannon to the left of NPR on Medicaid cuts.
Medicaid funding is a foundation of a great deal of Northeastern Pennsylvania, but we can’t be complacent that our politicians won’t take marching orders from tycoons like Elon Musk. More uninsured people racking up medical debt they can never ever pay off never made anything better in America for those people or anyone else. NPR […]
Paxlovid keeping older vaccinated and unvaccinated patients from severe covid.
But white patients get it more often than others.
5G mmWave was big hype by big telecom -so many bought inferior and or more expensive phones for nothin.
The big telecoms and big tech companies need to be broken up.
