How does one even pretend there's a war on vitamins when there's GNC stores? Or a 20' section in Walmart dedicated to vitamins? And whatever snake oil it is that Alex Jones shills? Etc...

Don't forget the Vitamin Shoppe! My wife (retail pharmacist) has to tell people all the time that supplements are not tested and there isn't any evidence they do what they claim, it's ridiculous crap like this can even be sold in the first place. Granted, some of this stuff does actually do something positive (usually a lot less than is claimed), but there are no controls over production/contamination of it so I wouldn't trust any of it anyways.

Haha yeah we've always made fun of the name, I'm sure they think it sounds fancy or something.
 
Herd immunity is obviously a luxury we can no longer afford after 70 years of being rid of several horrible diseases.
Won't somebody think of the children who want to die of Polio, or better yet, survive as a cripple in an iron lung?

Rejecting Decades of Science, Vaccine Panel Chair Says Polio and Other Shots Should Be Optional

Dr. Kirk Milhoan, a pediatric cardiologist who leads the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, said a person’s right to refuse a vaccine outweighed concerns about illness or death from infectious diseases.

If childhood vaccinations should only be on the advice of a clinician, doctors just like Milhoan get to charge for an office visit they otherwise might miss out on.

If somehow Pox returns, this would be the worst day in history of mankind.
 

Petty, antivaccine bullshit going on now at the FDA. There is no rationale reason to even refuse to review the submission. The "MAHA" movement is just a supplement, a fad health food, and a eugenicist in a white sheet.

Dr. Vinay Prasad, the agency’s top vaccine regulator, rejected the company’s application for approval over a concern that Moderna’s clinical trial had compared its experimental vaccine against a product the agency did not consider the best on the market. People in the comparison group received Fluarix Quadrivalent, a flu vaccine sold by GSK.

Also, do they want placebo controlled trials (as they previously claimed), or do they want something else. Speaking out of all sides of their mouth so that they can try to get away with arbitrary bullshit.

Fun fact: The JYNNEOS monkeypox vaccine protects against smallpox.

If I recall, it was originally developed to protect against smallpox as part of the bioterrorism scares and panics of the early 2000s. The monkeypox protection happens to be a bonus (kind of like how people who got cowpox became immunized against smallpox).

Everyone who RFK JR hired to lead these agencies should never work in their respective fields again. Make exiling and shunning cranks great again.

Also all the crunchy woo types who think this stuff is great can [redacted].

You even see the bullshit seep into their nonsense description of the Pfizer trial that Prassad said "failed". Except when you read the NEJM article, it met its primary endpoint: both the non-inferiority test and superiority test against the comparator vaccine.

These people that Trump empowered at NIH and the FDA are all cranks who have no business running anything health-related. They shouldn't even be allowed to run a health food store.

If any of these people ever get cancer the only course of treatment they should be able to access is horse dewormer. I'll also settle for crippling shame and complete ostracism from society that leads to ritual [redacted].

Ivermectin has become a symbol of resistance against the medical establishment among MAHA adherents and conservatives. Like-minded commentators and wellness and other online influencers have hyped — without evidence — ivermectin as a miracle cure for a host of diseases, including cancer. Trump officials have pointed to research on ivermectin as an example of the administration’s receptiveness to ideas the scientific establishment has rejected.

“If lots of people believe it and it’s moving public health, we as NIH have an obligation, again, to treat it seriously,” Bhattacharya said at the event. According to The Chronicle at Duke University, Bhattacharya recently said he wants the NIH to be “the research arm of MAHA.”

The decision by the world’s premier cancer research institute to study ivermectin as a cancer treatment has alarmed career scientists at the agency.

“I am shocked and appalled,” one NCI scientist said. “We are moving funds away from so much promising research in order to do a preclinical study based on nonscientific ideas. It’s absurd.”

RFK Jr. Boasts He’s ‘Not Scared’ of Germs Because He ‘Used to Snort Cocaine Off of Toilet Seats’

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed on Theo Von's podcast that the two first met years ago in rehab for substance abuse.

WTF! ...Back in the 80's, I used to see dudes snorting blow off the top of the toilet tank, but snorting the shit off the toilet seat, never. Freakin nasty! No wonder the dude is so fucked up with brain worms

Now, he snorts it off Dear Leader's ass?

Ladies and gentlemen , the Secretary of HHS!
 
Cool, I hope his doctors keep that in mind next time he needs any kind of procedure and act accordingly. No need to sanitize anything or wash hands, he's not scared of germs.

Right?! He can’t even blow lines right and you would think that’s the one thing he would know about.
