My latest story:. In the past few years, ivermectin’s popularity has only grown, and the drug has become a go-to treatment for almost any ailment whatsoever. Once a suspect COVID cure, now a right-wing aspirin.

Looks like they finally managed to create the first truly objective pathology residency ranking algorithm.

Gold standard anecdotes.
Makary: "We have a lot of data and it may not necessarily be the traditional 50 year randomized control trial follow up. It's data from families that say their kids have been acting with bad behavior . and they eliminate the petroleum-based food dyes and the behavior improves.

Too bad it’s only “gold-standard science” when it’s made by one of RFK Jr’s cronies.

“We have a sick-care system in our country, and the etiology ultimately of all that disease is corruption,” Kennedy said before the show cut away to an ad for vitamin chips.

Just wanted to clarify something. Everything bad that happened during the last administration was due to our prior public health leaders. But everything bad that happens now is due to our prior public health leaders.

We need a measles commission to evaluate the failings of our healthcare system establishment and hold them to account. We could model it after this one.

This would be a dumb thing for journalists to lie about. Some of the fired reviewers were listed by name and confirmed the firing! . What happened is the FDA got bad press then rehired some of them. We can't trust the medical establishment to be honest.
FACT CHECK: No scientific reviewers were laid off. The media is lying to you. Thank you to @SquawkCNBC for letting me clear up the lies.

You can read the censored CDC study that concluded Thimerosol is safe here. Why doesn't @MartinKulldorff and RFK Jr want you to see this? We can't trust the medical establishment.

Pretty weird to call for open debate when only one side of the Mercury discussion was presented at the ACIP meeting, and the CDC’s report confirming safety was abruptly taken offline by RFK Jr. Scaredy cats.
Should vaccines contain mercury? . When CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices said no, the American Academy of Pediatrics got upset, defending mercury. @AmerAcadPeds.

Mr. Kennedy has also repeatedly downplayed the current measles outbreaks, saying “it’s very, very difficult for measles to kill a healthy person.” But most children who have died of measles have been healthy.
