I think Thomas Midgley Jr. has met his match as the biggest killer of the Homo Sapiens era.
How incredibly stupid is this? SHOW us how you came to this conclusion, and provide us with open, peer-reviewed, papers that back up your claims.

This is a good thread on "raw milk" producers lying directly about... everything... on camera, where the lies are visible on camera, and yet, people eating it up.
Where "it" means "literal cow poop."

#HHS #hydroxychloroquine #quackery
"Steven J. Hatfill, a virologist and White House adviser during President Donald Trump’s first term who pushed hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the coronavirus despite what most researchers said was a lack of scientific evidence, has joined the second Trump administration in a senior role at the Department of Health and Human Services.
(. . .)
Hatfill criticized coverage in The Washington Post and other publications of a study by Veterans Affairs researchers of 368 patients — all male with a median age over 65 — hospitalized with coronavirus infections. The study found no evidence that hydroxychloroquine reduced patients’ chances of being placed on a mechanical ventilator and that the drug was associated with 'increased overall mortality.'
A research trial by Brazilian scientists was halted early for safety reasons after patients taking a relatively high dose of chloroquine developed irregular heart rates that increased their risk of a potentially fatal heart arrhythmia. Repeating what many advocates of the drug have argued, Hatfill said it was given in late stages of the virus. Patients were dying from other diseases but 'they blamed the drug,' he said."

"Lara Anton, spokesperson for state health dept, said her office refused the shipment from HHS 'because healthcare providers have not requested it from us.' Kennedy also said that he believes budesonide, clarithromycin, or cod-liver oil can treat measles, but the health department apparently doesn’t want those either."

"RFK Jr. told Fox earlier this month that he was delivering vitamin A to measles-stricken communities in West Texas immediately. But a Texas health official told The Atlantic that no doses of vitamin A ever arrived at the state health department—not because RFK Jr. broke his promise, but because Texas doctors didn’t want them."

Es la primera vez que veo algo asi, no sé si hubo antes migraciones así "masivas" escapando de la toxicidad y la violencia digital de una red social.Es no sólo un acto de amorosa rebeldía sino un ejemplo que las cosas no necesariamente deben ser como son. Que si las personas se organizan se pueden lograr mejores cosas.

Cuanta cantidad de gente leo que escapa de #Twitter por su toxicidad y violencia digital. Justamente esas dos cosas son su motor.
Me alegro que busquen mejores alternativas, por su salud mental y su bienestar.
En #Mastodon encontrarán un espacio más amistoso seguramente y sin tantos #discursosdeodio
Twitter se convirtió en una red social dominada por la #ultraderecha y su dueño es activo representante de esa ideología.

This is an interesting article about how the #conspiracy mindset can have deadly consequences. I do have sympathy for the vulnerable who have been taken by #quackery.
But if I remember correctly (and I do) #HuffPo was part of the quack machinery that flogged a whole lotta nonsense in the "wellness" sphere over the years. They should own some of that too.

On the Right and medical quackery
I'm listening to a 1978 interview of Susan Sontag by Studs Terkel on the topic of Illness as Metaphor.
At 39 minutes, Sontag notes that the extreme right has long been occupied by medical quackery:
"Laetril has very much been taken up by the John Birch Society."
She and Studs also talk about the morality and moralisation of illness, notably (at the time) TB and cancer.
