Gavin Newsom just said the quiet part out loud: “All this anti-woke stuff is just anti-Black. Period. Full stop.” And he’s right. “Anti-woke” was never about ideas, it was a marketing campaign to sanitize racism, roll back progress, and make bigotry sound intellectual.

If you "did your own research" and came to the conclusion that viruses don't exist, I'm sorry to break it to you but you are really bad at research

Pregnant women: Use Tylenol (paracetamol) when you need it. It’s fine to give it at the recommended dose to kids. No good reason to divide the MMR shot into 3 (more pain, more additives, more Dr visits). Combining with Chicken pox is 👍 Get Hep B at birth or early in life.

Really great takedown of harmful #misinformation about cancer & autism by @CBCMarketplace...👇 They analyzed "200 of TikTok’s most popular health videos & uncovers a troubling trend: misinformation is not only widespread, it’s thriving." Honoured to help. 🙏 Check it out:

Thank you President Trump for drawing our attention to a historic and foundational document in the Canada–U.S. economic relationship. I invite everyone, especially our American friends, to listen to President Reagan’s full speech and form their own opinion about what he was truly

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about. Would be a shame if it went viral.

BREAKING: trump is having a temper tantrum, ending ALL trade negotiations with Canada. He's butthurt that they aired an ad of President Reagan that shows how dumb trump's tariffs are. It's VERY effective. Be a shame if it went viral. 🇺🇲🇨🇦 https://t.co/fkCx0YNaHi

The shingles vaccine was found to lower the risk of heart disease, dementia and death. According to the new study, adults 50 and older who get the shingles vaccine have a 50% lower risk of dementia. https://t.co/9HEkKrcNE0

Cancer patients who got a COVID shot lived significantly longer. No, that’s not a typo. A new study found that a simple mRNA vaccine - originally made for COVID - nearly doubled survival in patients with advanced lung and skin cancer. Let’s break it down 👇 🧵 1/

This is called "crank magnetism,” which describes the phenomenon where belief in one type of conspiracy or pseudoscience attracts multiple types: https://t.co/FlMzsO5v0J
Thanks to the pandemic, I am now questioning….. - all vaccines - Tylenol - psychiatric medications - organ donation and the definition of brain death - cholesterol-lowering meds … and the list will likely continue to grow.

1. These were not “kids” or “teenagers”, these were GOP political operatives & lawmakers in their 30s. 2. If young people shouldn’t be punished for social posts, why did his administration just announce six students’ visas rescinded for anti-Kirk posts? Oh the gaslighting!
JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

Another win for vaccines: A new study finds that reactivation of the virus that causes shingles (VZV) is linked to higher dementia risk…and shingles vaccination cuts that risk by up to 35%. It suggests something extraordinary: dementia may have a modifiable viral trigger.
🧠DEMENTIA PREVENTION—Almost everyone needs to go out now and get the shingles vaccine ASAP. Don’t wait until age 50 for standard eligibility—ask your doctor for singles vax. MULTIPLE large studies worldwide now show that shingles vaccine strongly prevents dementia onset. Do it.

Just because Galileo was persecuted too doesn't mean that fringe ideas effectively "challenge the status quo.” Beware of health misinformation associated with the Galileo Wannabe Fallacy.
Once upon a time, a lone scientist named Galileo challenged the scientific dogma of his day. He recanted under threat of burning and 500 years later, the Catholic Church admitted he was right, all the other scientists were wrong, because the earth does revolve around the sun.

If you're the Qatari royal family worth $335 billion, Trump gives you an Air Force facility in Idaho. If you're the President of Argentina, Trump gives you a $20 billion bailout. If you're an American whose health care premiums are about to double? Tough luck.
