AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

TYLENOL
We stand with science, and we stand with you.
For generations, families have trusted TYLENOL® when it matters most.
Why? Because Tylenol is one of the most studied medications in history.
The facts remain unchanged: over a decade of rigorous research, endorsed by leading medical professionals, confirm there is no credible evidence linking acetaminophen to autism.
Acetaminophen is used worldwide as a first line of defense for pain relief and fever reduction, at the recommendation of independent public health and leading medical professionals and in accordance with the product label.
High fevers and pain are widely recognized as potential risks to a pregnancy if left untreated, especially in the first trimester.
Remember to talk to your doctor.
We prioritize science as the core of how we provide care, and that will never change.

This week’s presentation to RFK’s new CDC vaccine advisory committee on Thimerosal, which RFK has pushed for, was posted online yesterday after he answered questions from Congress about fake citations in the MAHA report. It also has multiple fake citations and included falsified and nonexistent data
Dr. David B @boulware_dr

Correction: this CDC #ACIP slide 20 has two fake citations. Neither citation is an actual journal article. The first is completely fake.
The second might correspond to a different article published in 2011 that was animal study in rats using levels > 1000-fold higher than humans

Dr. David B @boulware_dr
Here is one of the slides, which quotes a 2008 non-existant article. There is an actual Berman RF et al 2008 article which reports no developmental neurotoxicity in a rat model.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17977901/

“Evidence From Animal Research
• Berman RF, et al, (2008) Low-level neonatal thimerosal exposure: Long term consequences in the brain. Newborn rats given ethylmercury doses equivalent to the vaccine schedule showed persistent microglial activation, particularly in the cerebellum and hippocampus. Suggests long-tern neuroimmune effects.
• Olczak M, et al, (2010) Neurodevelopmental disorders after neonatal thimerosal vaccination: Roles of glial activation and oxidative stress. Thimerosal exposure in neonata rats induced persistent glial activation and oxidative damage in regions critical for motor and cognitive development.”

Fentanyl is used across the medical field for sedation and pain control across all fields. It's safe and effective at low doses and has a short on/off effect that makes it ubiquitous. There isn't a ready replacement for it and any number of outpatients are on it. You take it off market?
