to apply right-wing logic to this: "if you label everything domestic terrorism, the term will lose it's meaning!!!11!!!"

It might push back the electric/sustainable transition

Yes, it’s all about the collective power of people.

what I find silly about going "vegan" is that it's roughly 5% of the US population. Let's say you boost it to 10% with all the posturing about saving the planet. Getting 50% of the population to half their meat consumption would have 5x the impact.

Is it too early to call it the Trump Slump?

the problem is exactly what we see with measles.

1. children who have no choice are the ones who suffer the consequences
2. because most vaccines cannot be 100% effective (e.g., I got 3 extra MMR shots and I still don't have detectable measles antibody levels despite being fully immunocompetent), they do rely on herd immunity protecting those who don't mount full responses to the shots.

The thing about public health is that it's public interest over personal choices. In a functioning free society those personal choices would still align with public interest based on the understanding of societal good. So the antagonism is totally artificial.

sadly, if we told them the "dems definitely don't want you to drink methanol, because it's bad for you", there'd be some who'd do it out of spite. this is literally what's happening with vaccines, but one's mental blindness leading to physical blindness has some poetry to it.

This is the thing that distinguishes the intellect of orbán and trump. Orbán developed what he officially named "the system of national collaboration" with an unofficial motto of "those with us will thrive [and those who are against us will struggle]". So initially they made sure that it was a lucrative thing to align with the system making it very inconvenient for systematic resistance to emerge. Trump seems to be failing this idea already in the acute phase: maintaining pressure even when companies realign with him makes it much more convenient to push back straight up...

The way Ryleigh presented her story made it sound like she was expecting the trump administration to impregnate her. Incredibly absurd...

At least there's still an option for her: all she has to do is message Musk...

"SLAMMED" I say! "SLAMMED!"

What is this open mic night? FFS.

I thought he wasn’t into DEI. Europeans were underrepresented among the deportees, now trump’s promoting equity there.

This guy is a charlatan. He doesn't understand medical facts or human behavior.

1. Despite what the vitamin industry says, nutritional deficiencies are quite rare in the USA (except for vitamin D)
2. As mentioned in the article, if your population isn't vitamin deficient, you can't assume that vitamin supplementation will have similar (or any) role as in developing countries with high prevalence of nutrition deficiencies to reduce mortality of infections.
3. Vitamin A (along with the other fat-soluble vitamins) can actually be overdosed. (Fun fact: Polar Bear liver is toxic for human consumption because it contains vitamin A in huge concentrations)
4. This kind of communication will lead for Vitamin A overdoses and vaccine avoidance.
5. RFK will take no responsibility for either.
