BREAKING: I’m suing Big Pharma manufacturers for deceptively marketing Tylenol to pregnant mothers despite the known dangers to unborn children. By holding Big Pharma accountable for poisoning our people, we will help Make America Healthy Again.

In the previous weeks, it has become clear the makers of Tylenol and the government itself knew about the risks for pregnant mothers, but said nothing. Thank you to @KenPaxtonTX for holding this company accountable. There is a new sheriff in town for big pharma.

Every study they promote has been a nothing burger due to severe flaws. Real science does not need a trailer like the next blockbuster. Consequential studied are shared naturally due to many people reading it and finding it compelling. Not this contrived nonsense.

@dr_jon_l @BerkeleyScribe It happens when the body doesn't have an appropriate fuel. Animal fat such as suet is an appropriate fuel. My body need not engage in much GNG because I eat a low-protein carnivore diet of mostly raw suet. I eat around 200g raw beef mince/boerewors per day.

From what I can see, this facility was privately funded. I also don't see any outrage over the completely unnecessary ballroom expansion at the White House. The Obamacare claim seems to be a stretch.

Your tax and insurance dollars at work Thanks Obamacare! As hospitals have merged to deal with its onerous bureaucratic requirements, the resulting chains have become more powerful and been able to raise prices hugely. A lot of that money goes to this nonsense.

So I presume you are advocating for more investment and recruitment in healthcare? I hope you're not suggesting we adopt a private for-profit system, because you would actually need to compare it to the US.

Canada spends among the most on healthcare in the developed world, yet ranks near the bottom for doctors, hospital beds, MRIs, and timely care. In Carney's Canada, you pay more, wait longer, get less. https://t.co/9GX5AA0E41

For decades, vaccines were recognized to cause brain injury and mental retardation. So, they banned "retarded," relabeled the injuries as autism and used autism's ambiguity to hide all of it. Here I reveal all the games they've played to bury vax injuries https://t.co/KjPnEWngal

You should mention the SPECIFIC substance and what SPECIFIC harms are associated. I would want to see evidence in humans - ideally 2 large comparable groups (either randomized or adjusted for confounders) looking at health outcomes between the groups

Chemicals can be healthy, harmful or neutral. Pointing out that using the term "chemical" to mean "harmful" does not mean I endorse consuming all chemicals. So instead of using chemical to mean "bad" or "harmful" the messaging should be more nuanced

@dr_jon_l @dr_ericberg Living proof that a degree doesn't make someone smart. By your "logic" and god knows i use that term as loosely as possible, because bleach is made of chemicals like food and digesting food is a chemical reaction everyone should be drinking bleach.

Did you guess it? This isn’t food… it’s chemistry. What started as a farming byproduct is now processed with industrial solvents, bleached, and deodorized before landing in your kitchen. It’s packed into almost every ultra-processed food you eat, snacks, dressings, baked
