The RFK Jr sanewashing is sickening.
For DECADES public health community has been concerned about chronic disease & researching what to do. Hugely complex issue.
RFK Jr offers NO science-informed strategies. He demonstrates NO understanding of science. He pushes deadly LIES.
Media, PLEASE stop!

Looking back, I think 1 million deaths was worse than the hurt feelings of celebrity doctors who didn’t treat COVID patients.
Opinion | The level of vitriol being aimed at John Ioannidis' work is causing others in the medical community to self-censor, as a number of doctors and researchers have acknowledged to us. This is the worst possible outcome during a pandemic.

A white friend helped Trump get into college. White bankers gave him billions in loans he didn't qualify for. He had the lowest % of primary votes for a GOP nominee in 50 years. Besides white voters, he lost every racial, ethnic & religious demographic in EVERY race he ever entered. He has NEVER won the popular vote in an election.
Just so we're clear:
We already had the first DEI president.

This could literally be the definition of whiteness.
Or white supremacy.
Or any variation of the specific brand of Christian nationalism that has been weaponized and used to justify white supremacy since the beginning of America history.

Cognitive Dissonance
For the past few days, I've been posting a lot of stats showing that pediatric suicides have NOT INCREASED but likely DECREASED (🇦🇺🇨🇦🇺🇸) during the pandemic. Many of the contrary replies are people who are saying some version of "nuh-uh."

Every time JB discusses covid without discussing 199 other diseases he is demonstrating how wrong he was.
Same for everyone who pretends the agree with him.

If "gain of function" research did cause this pandemic, it may be the worst man-made disaster in the history of humanity. It makes Chernobyl and the sinking of the Titanic look like minor incidents. The pandemic has been a global holocaust. If human misbehavior did this, there need to be investigations and prosecutions."

I certainly mention many people who regretted not getting the vaccine. But I do so with pity. These people were told the vaccine was risky, while virus posed no threat.
Who told them that?
That’s what the book is about.

I love how anti-vaxxers call me a pharma shill but ignore @P_McCulloughMD going on Alex Jones to sling worthless supplements to “detox” your body from the spike protein. But I’m sure Peter isn’t making any money from this, right?

Although it is bordered by two of the most heavily gentrified parts of the city, Downtown L.A. and University Park/USC, Historic South Central has remained relatively unchanged in recent years.
