Force of nature 🐺

Robert F. Kennedy Jr will require all new vaccines to undergo placebo testing, WaPo reports U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr intends to shift the way vaccines are tested, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing a spokesperson from the HHS.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."

Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.

Ethical violation as POLICY.

Right? 👇🏽🤢

I thought this was locat at first: we have a bar down the road called Crowbar 🤣

Is Appalachian Folk Magic a Closed Practice? A Discourse. Author’s working pipe and hand-carved deer hoof pipe tamper A recent email thread with some colleagues somewhat touched on the subject of the impact and threats that Appalachian folk traditio…

These are some of my thoughts surrounding this question, which I believe needed more context than a simple yes or no.

RFK Jr.’s Prescription for Bird Flu on Farms: Let It Spread The health secretary has suggested allowing the virus to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Such an experiment would be disastrous, scientists say.

RFK Jr. & his brain worm would just like to remind everyone that he doesn’t give a flying fuck.

‘If H5N1 were to be allowed to run through a flock of 5 million birds, “that’s literally 5 million chances for that virus to replicate or to mutate,” Dr. Hansen said.😱

I swear to God, just write about WICCA!
A review will indeed be coming.

The levels of pissed off this book made me not even 10 pages in when I read it (thankfully didnt spend money on it). The amount of times she has said to practice Appalachian magic you don't need families ties or roots because its "an eclectic path."

Kind of disappointed i got this much detail tonight but not LAST night with the blood moon.

Thank you! 🙏

Appalachia has always been the sacrificial region of this country in terms of lumber, coal, labor, and other resources. Please don't help our traditions be sacrificed to the dollar as well.

Please PLEASE vet the products you buy and the sellers, before you buy or consume things like this. Make sure they are coming from LIVING PEOPLE who are FROM APPALACHIA and not just some wanna-be bum trying to make money.

Shit like this has me question if I even wanna write or talk about it anymore. Why? So some fucking BUM can get AI to write about it, steal information, and then make money off of it? I already have to deal with that with living folks, let alone fucking robots.
