FDA declines to review Moderna's mRNA flu shot Under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Food and Drug Administration has taken an aggressive stance against mRNA technology.

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

There was massive relocation (and genocide) of Native Americans from for 300 years. Does that mean it’s ok? What is with these people?!

Musk is going to treat our country like a private equity take over. Sell off assets to rich friends, force the government to pay rent back to the rich owners, provide less services for more money. Private equity destroys businesses and this will do the same to our country.

Tesla is a shell company

You can get titers checked to ensure immunity. If not high enough, a repeat dose is recommended.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

I can only imagine. I left X so long ago that I’ve had to organically grow again here.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Nah. There’s just more people here already saying it. I repost a lot but I don’t say much myself.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

Thoughts and prayers have been so effective in combating mass shootings that now the Republicans are using them to respond to a plane crash. Next up: vaccine preventable diseases, increased maternal mortality, and hungry children who can't concentrate in school.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired
➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen
➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded
➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees
➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years

Making America Great Again!

Former Secretary of Transportation--who was not on The Real World or Road Rules--weighs in on the President's efforts to blame the fatal air traffic accident on DEI.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

There is literally no hospital or clinic in the world who would hire a doctor with the following beliefs. Yet because our glorious orange leader nominated him we expect the senate to take it seriously? America doesn’t get any dumber than this.

Medical toxicologist here to confirm: all available, real-world data has proven mifepristone is actually even safer than many over the counter medicines.

Mortality rates:

Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000
Penicillin 2/100K
Viagra 4/100K

Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)

H5N1 Bird Flu Spreads Rapidly Through California Dairy Herds

The USDA has confirmed that five more dairy herds in California are infected, bringing the total number to 732.

As of now, 74% of the state's dairy herds have tested positive for the virus.

US FDA drops web pages on improving clinical trial diversity The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has pulled draft guidance from its website requiring companies to test medicines and devices in diverse populations as part of a purge of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at U.S. health agencies.

Diversity in clinical trials is not performative. Diversity in clinical trials literally ensures that all humans benefit from therapeutics, interventions, and preventive medicine.

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously.

Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause."

They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.

Science is under attack.

"Health disparities research" is a field of study where researchers look at how things like race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status can influence health outcomes. Now any gov't website about this says "page not found".
