So did I hear correctly that Taylor farms is not just a maga-run brand but also has 40+ food safety violations? Well that is enough of buying that.

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, there's still time - but it's running out! TODAY IS THE LAST DAY to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Take Action: zurl.co/cY8HD

I know that medicine has tried to move away from eponymous disease names. And I’ve already proposed other diseases to name after Bill Cassidy. But I think the new scientific name of shingles should be Herpes zoster cassidy. Because he was instrumental in creating the conditions for its resurgence.

Oh sure fortifying grain was not considered insanity when it was poor white people who had vitamin deficiencies. Now that people who eat corn masa a lot are brown, fortifying the grain meal is called, “insanity.” This nutcase has no business being in healthcare or food policy.

Measles, people, is not harmless. Even in mild cases there can be lingering, difficult complications and immune system amnesia to survived infections/vaccinations. My mother lost much of her hearing as a child, and the consequences of that in her old age were isolating. Get the vaccine.
