“I feel like I’ve been lied to,” Kiley told his wife as his fever rose to 104 degrees. He tried to manage his symptoms at home with cod liver oil and vitamin D, supplements endorsed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr… and coughed and dry-heaved his way through the night.” cc @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

#Caturday hard launch: Meet Kopiko — my new kitten, named after the candy and an espresso shot of chaos in cat form. He was feral, now he’s family. #KopikoTheCat #KittenLaunch

Aside from the misleading headline (makeup ≠ skincare) the article makes a compelling case! 😉
Thankfully, no!

I did the same thing earlier this week! 🔥
There was a time this may have been merited. That time was 20-25 years ago. At this point the evidence is clear, and those unconvinced by the body of extant research aren’t likely to be convinced by one additional study. This is a waste of time & funds that could actually be helping people.
CDC "...ordered to shelve promotions it developed for a variety of vaccines, including..." an ad campaign urging ppl to get vaxxed against flu
HHS asst sec. for public affairs informed CDC that RFK Jr. wanted ads that promote the idea of “informed consent” in vax decision-making instead. 🛟 medsky 😷
"This report introduces a powerful new dataset—publicly available...—that opens up rich opportunities for exploration & analyses. An initial review reveals striking county-level variation in utilization of health care services & in health care spending..."🛟 policysky sociology health policy 😷📉

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.
