Francesca Hong’s Narrow Loss Is Both a Warning and a Victory for Progressives

Francesca Hong lost Wisconsin’s Democratic primary by just 0.5%, but her working-class campaign proved that statewide progressive politics has real power.

Trump’s COVID Failure Killed Americans RFK Jr Is Repeating the Deadly Experiment

The COVID disaster was a warning. Trump and RFK Jr. are repeating it by undermining vaccines, weakening health safeguards, and rewarding the politics of fear.

Detransition, where it happens, is mostly social and hormonal, not a scalpel running backward.
He can lie about our bodies into a microphone in front of thousands. It still won't be true when the applause stops.

This week I learned the term "functional medicine".

Apparently it came about in the 1990s, and is a new term for what we used to call quackery.

The richer they get, more people die because of the medical misinformation they are spreading

"4 major nonprofits that rose to prominence during the coronavirus pandemic by capitalizing on the spread of #MedicalMisinformation collectively gained more than $118 million between 2020 and 2022, enabling the organizations to deepen their influence in statehouses, courtrooms and communities across the country

Children’s Health Defense, an anti-vaccine group founded by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Another influential anti-vaccine group, Informed Consent Action Network, nearly quadrupled its revenue during that time to about $13.4 million in 2022, giving it the resources to finance lawsuits seeking to roll back vaccine requirements as Americans’ faith in vaccines drops."

In "You Are What You Eat," Adams says he didn't take medication for type 2 diabetes and instead reversed it with diet—a dangerous recommendation at odds with what he's said in the past.

I left it on pause at 40 minutes in, right after Dr Gundry’s blatant disrespect of Dr Belardo with full lack of professionalism on display. I debated returning to it to try to finish out and get to the parts where Dr Mike goes into full confrontation mode.

But I determined this to be pointless.

I marked the video as watched and moved on.

I applaud Dr Belardo’s professionalism in the face of this.

Watched part of the Dr Mike podcast interviewing Dr Gundry and Dr Danielle Belardo and couldn’t finish it out of frustration

Dr Gundry cherry picks data. And when confronted with this fact using the remainder of the data he cherry picked from that contradicts his claims, he’s a smug and childish asshole.

He had the audacity to claim nicotine improves cardiovascular health and vitamin C negates the cancer risk.

In a virtual presentation hosted by the Network of the National Library of Medicine from earlier this month, @uwcip co-founder Jevin West, a UW Information School associate professor, discussed the "etiology of medical misinformation."

To be clear: this ain't a thing. Um... except to sell stuff.

Don't believe everything on the internet... 😅

This article does a good job explaining how insane this is.

“All told, scrutiny by a human expert makes Arena’s foray into AI-generated content look like a cynical cash grab aimed at churning out dirt-cheap content designed to capture readers on Google, even if it means providing them with abjectly false medical information.”
