Yeah..... Her estimate was obviously very low... my guess is one SMALL fart is over 25ml. 5ml for a whole day was obviously very low.

Say, what? No amusing tale about slipping in the shower and, "I guess the potato just kinda ...?"

If only Diogenes could be here to see this.

Don't be a cynic.

I hope you've not been returning to it day after day the past 6 weeks to figure it out.

RFK Jr.’s CDC Delays Report Proving the Covid Vaccine Worked

Anti-vax nonsense has infiltrated every corner of America’s public health agencies.

newrepublic.com

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has delayed the release of a report showing that the Covid-19 vaccine cut hospitalizations and emergency room visits for healthy adults by half last winter.

The Washington Post reports that acting CDC director Jay Bhattacharya made the decision because he was purportedly concerned about the report’s methodology, even though it has been used by the agency for years to examine vaccine effectiveness for other respiratory viruses like the flu.

In fact, the agency published a similar report about the flu vaccine with the same methodology on March 12 in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. The Covid-19 vaccine report had cleared the CDC’s scientific review process, and was scheduled to be published in the MMWR before Bhattacharya’s decision.

//Putting on my tinfoil hat here but ...

I am starting to believe that they actually want chronically ill, disabled, weaker and older people to die. They believe that they are weakening their society.

According to Musk, “empathy is ‘the fundamental weakness of Western civilization." Let's face it, when you look at what ICE has done and what the Republican party now stands for, it's basically using religion, racism, misogyny, homophobia and eugenics to bring their definition of "the right people" back into power and to keep them there.

Donald Trump's decades-long obsession with eugenics

A timeline of the president's thoughts on "good genes," IQ, and which disabled people should "just die."

Many people were shocked to read allegations last year by Donald Trump’s nephew, Fred Trump III, about his uncle: Fred, whose son William has intellectual and developmental disabilities, reported that the elder Trump said during his first presidential term that people like William should “just die.”

That is shocking—but it’s not surprising. The comment falls into a pattern of eugenicist and ableist views that Trump has espoused all the way back to the 1980s, when he spoke openly about the importance of having “the right genes” in an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

This is a scary read: Trump's talk of 'bad genes' is rooted in eugenics. Experts explain why it's making a comeback

Immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” he said at a rally last year.

“Many of them murdered far more than one person, and they’re now happily living in the United States,” he said earlier this month. “You know, now a murderer, I believe this, it’s in their genes. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.”

The former president’s language underscores a larger trend, experts tell STAT. The eugenics movement is once again taking center stage in the U.S. — both in the immigration policies and rhetoric promoted by Trump, and through a rise in race science in academic literature.

You know what new discovery there is as to what causes cancer? Surprise!

Absurd study suggests eating fruits and vegetables leads to cancer

Experts point out a series of flaws, including small size and no control group.

arstechnica.com

Dubious nutrition research and downright terrible diet and health advice are nothing new, but the situation has devolved as of late. With the rise of anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, federal food guidelines have centered on slabs of meat, excessive amounts of protein, and sticks of butter. The animal-based food craze has people slathering beef tallow on their faces. And, if your cardiovascular system isn’t already hardening just reading this, health influencers are now peddling nicotine—an addictive drug considered to be a cardiovascular toxin.

It is in this bananas context that headlines arrived in the past few days suggesting that eating fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can be bad for you. Specifically, it can supposedly increase the risk of lung cancer—a claim that flies in the face of decades of evidence-based nutrition guidance, like a full-fat cream pie.

Nope, full-fat cream pie also causes cancer. Even when it's just tossed in your face.
