Supreme Court rules that POTUS does not have the power to tax Americans for imports.

We now return to free trade which will lower the cost of almost everything.

Glyphosate (Roundup) has been circulating around the news recently. I saw testing from Florida looking for contaminant levels in list of different products.

There’s been a some big lawsuits and im sure the state of California thinks it causes cancer.

From what I’ve read at high doses it can cause plenty of problems. The question is at what level of consumption is there no increased risk of bad outcomes?

Trump pumped the brakes on MAHA talking about how the chemical is essential to our ability to feed our country. MAHA isn’t very pleased though… and I don’t blame them.

RFK built his career on trying to remove tons of chemicals from loots of things because he believed they caused various problems. He was very anti glyophosphate but I haven’t seen or heard anything from him recently.

I think it’s because they realize how expensive it would be for farmers to switch from GMO crop practices that utilize glyophosphate to other mechanical or chemical alternatives for w**d removal.

I think that MAHA wants to transition the country to 100% organic farming. What do you say?

The FDA reversed its decision and will now review the Moderna mRNA flu vaccine.

It was studied among 40k people so I’m glad they decided to at least review the data. That doesn’t mean approval but hopefully it will be a transparent process.

Your body already makes messenger RNA all day every day. That’s how you utilize amino acids to make proteins. You eat a steak and then your body breaks down that protein to amino acids and then your cells uses mRNA to produce various proteins your body needs by linking those amino acids together.

mRNA comes from the nucleus of your cell which holds your DNA. There is a very good wall that allows mRNA to leave the nucleus but doesn’t allow it to reenter.

A mRNA message could encode a protein like the genetic sequence of a section of a flu virus similar to the covid spike protein. Those instructions are injected into muscle cells and then your body simply arranges the amino acids to create whatever protein we want.

The immune system then recognizes a foreign protein and destroys it. During the process it helps build long term immunity.

In the case of cancer research, scientists (not in US much any more) are using mRNA to encode messages to have the body make proteins present on cancer cell surfaces to teach the immune system how to recognize and fight off cancer cells.

Seed oils aren’t bad. Way better than lard and tallow. Lots of low quality info online from health grifters

It’s not just RFK’s fault, but he’s the head of public health now and unless we correct the current trajectory of public health policy in this country, there are significant short and long term ramifications.

Unfortunately America is about to FAFO.

“That money and effort could have been better spent on actual scientific research into autism itself.”

A recent study showed that there was no increased risk of autism in children of mothers who received the mRNA COVID vaccine.

Time to turn the internet off and turn it back on again.

Highly respected doctors on social media are endorsing questionable medical products — but they’re deepfakes, and they’re a serious problem.

Shout out to the HCHD for providing useful public health education.

You shouldn’t drink raw milk? But for heaven’s sake don’t give it to little children or people that are frail.

It’s not worth the deductible for the ER visit or missed work or school. It’s not worth the risk of potentially harming someone you love.

Every decision we make is risk vs benefit. I don’t care if you know the farmer or know the cow. Unless it’s your cow and you personally milk it under sterile conditions then unpasteurized milk should be avoided.

If you’re still milking your own cow every day like our grandparents did then I want to hear your story below!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Hamilton County Health Department has identified an unexpected increase in Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) cases in 2026 associated with the consumption of raw (unpasteurized) milk.
Raw milk can carry harmful bacteria that may cause severe or life-threatening illness, particularly in young children, older adults, pregnant individuals, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
If you or your child has recently consumed raw milk and is experiencing diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps, or vomiting, seek immediate care from your medical provider.
Timely reporting helps protect others in our community. Please monitor official updates from the Hamilton County Health Department for additional guidance.

We should probably start training new nurses to address the current shortage and future pandemics.

RFK says that they are using AI to detect and prevent fraud.

To save time and computing power, I circled the fraud.
