Alot of discussion has been spurred since the arrest of Luigi Mangione, including the nature and costs of incarceration. Given his crowdfund rapidly approaching $500,000, both critics & supporters are asking how others behind bars can be aided My latest: tinyurl.com/55jtwe2x

🚨 For years, RFK Jr sold water in plastic bottles containing nearly twice the EPA's allowable limit for fluoride. After exposing people to excessive fluoride levels, he now seeks to ban even the beneficial amounts. Make it make sense.

I was diagnosed with HIV in 1998, when I was 30. Many of my friends had died but I was told, with the new drugs available, I could expect to live another 20 years. That was 27 years ago. Honour those we lost. Celebrate that we can now treat and prevent HIV. Make HIV stigma history. #WorldAIDSDay
Me aged 30. I was in LA and dressed up to go to a posh do (hired tux). My hair is slicked back and, in black and white under bright Californian sun, my skin looks impeccable. I’m looking directly into the camera with a closed mouth smile. I look like a movie star. Selfie. I’ve got very freshly cut hair and I’m looking directly at the camera with a similar smile. I’m wearing a vest. My lines are deeper, my eyes heavier, but I’m still in pretty good shape for a 57 year old.

This trend is very troubling. Unfortunately, some children cannot receive the MMR vaccines due to medical reasons. Having really high vaccine rates create a barrier that help keep them safe. Antivaccine advocacy is genuinely dangerous.
