  1. STRANGE NEWS: #Khat litters the #USA

    UK INDEPENDENT: Thousands of pounds of the #Drug khat have been smuggled into the U.S. over the past month — but what exactly is it?

    Khat, which is pronounced like “cot,” is a flowering evergreen shrub typically grown in parts of #Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.

    The shrub’s leaves can be chewed for their #Stimulant-like effect, according to the #DEA....

    People using khat often store it in their cheeks, like #ChewingTobacco,

  6. #FDA #Layoffs Could Raise #Drug Costs and Erode Food Safety No mission, no research, no science, no knowledge. #FDA is eviscerated. In many areas of the #FDA, no #employees remain to process payroll, to file #retirement or layoff paperwork and to help overseas #inspectors who are at risk of maxing out agency credit cards. Even the agency’s #library where researchers and experts relied on medical journal subscriptions that have now been canceled, has been shut down. archive.is/NBha8

    This article may contain useful information but it has a misleading headline and does not give the whole picture...

    "This ancient disease still kills 1 million people every year. - A new generation of drugs promised salvation from hepatitis B and C. What went wrong?"

    First 👉 why the word "ancient"? It is irrelevant.🙄 Many human diseases have been around a long time.

    Second 👉 #hepatitisB and #hepatitisC are NOT the same disease at all. One is a double-stranded #DNA virus and the other is a single-stranded #RNA virus. Conflating them just confuses the reader.

    Third 👉 hepatitis B is a #VaccinePreventableDisease. The best way to deal with it is to VACCINATE people, not treat people that did not need to get it in the first place.

    This information is not new. There is no vaccine for hepatitis C, so #PublicHealth measures and #drug #treatment are the only options.

  8. This could be very good for #KamalaHarris.

    #Inflation is a global phenomenon & not in the hands of any one leader. But there is consensus among the world’s top economists that the #USeconomy, under the #Biden admin has by far done the best & is in part responsible for averting a global recession.

    Nevertheless, Americans’ #vibenomics have been very unforgiving of Biden & #Harris despite action on #gouging, #drug #costs etc.

    #InterestRates decreasing 2 months before people vote may help.
