  1. I would love that these ‘people’ be prosecuted. The British (OK English but I don’t want to labour the point, we have our own nutters as well. people in glass houses etc etc..) Wakefield should be prevented from practicing anywhere.

  15. When Donald Trump is not unjustly enriching himself (can you say "corruption?") he and #RFKjr are worsening our health:

    "Vaccine Makers Curtail Research and Cut Jobs. Federal policies under #RFKjr that are hostile to vaccines have 'sent a chill through the entire industry'.”:

  23. This is interesting. The #Texas Penal Code makes no mention of conversion therapy on minors, yet § 35A.02(a)(7)(B) forbids providers from claiming fraudulent services. With no accredited provider seriously recommending conversion therapy, the statute thus presumably proscribes it as a medical treatment, rendering any new law redundant, not to mention the risk of said laws extending to counseling—an obvious constitutional no-no. (1/3)

    Partner got a grounding sheet thing. It was recommended by her Brother and Sister in law. (Overly credulous family imho)
    Now I'm, well ... Less willing to give credence to the claims of people peddling snake oil that's already been proven false.
    Anyways, I go along with it, in the interests of having an open mind.
    It's a little uncomfortable as it's a strip of fabric and a foot wide and ten feet long positioned across the bed about at calf position. It's also connected via a wire plugged into the building ground. You know for the grounding.
    A week went by. No noticeable improvements in sleep. Partner takes it off the bed and contacts the company for a refund. They offer us 60% refund to just keep it rather than a full refund and send it back.
    I'm pretty convinced that they still made profit and that shows what the real cost/value of it was.
