    I’m assuming “not conclusively” is a massive understatement here, given the usual levels of plausibility.

    Also a good way to deflect people from thinking about all the other shit they put in your food!

      The recent vaccine hearing didn’t go so well for RFK Jr.

    the “Tylenol during pregnancy” thing is obviously bullshit, but I think the other bullshit they’re announcing at the same time will ultimately have a more harmful impact:

    White House officials are also expected to suggest that a form of vitamin B that is typically used in conjunction with cancer treatment could be used to treat autism.

    there is a long history of grifters claiming they can “treat” or “cure” autistic people, especially autistic children. giving a White House stamp of approval to the idea that you can “treat” autism with fucking vitamin supplements is going to turbo-charge those grifters.

    these Behind the Bastards episodes are worth listening to if you want to know more:

      I hate these fucking woowoo health grifters with so much passion. Thank you for the podcast links - my go-to for this stuff is the podcast “Maintenance Phase”

        Maintenance Phase is great, if you like that I think you’d definitely like BtB.

        they have a wider range of topics than Maintenance Phase - besides health grifters you’ll also get cult leaders, dictators, child abusers, weird Nazi freaks, etc.

        here’s some of the episodes they’ve done that overlap most with the health/wellness industry that MP talks about:

        Part One: The Vioxx Scandal: How Big Pharma Killed More Americans Than Vietnam

        Part Two: The Vioxx Scandal: How Big Pharma Killed More Americans Than Vietnam

        Part One: Bruno Bettelheim: The Worst Psycho-therapist

        Part Two: Bruno Bettelheim and The Quest To Make a “Good” Concentration Camp

        Part One: How Tainted Human Blood Became A Major U.S. Export

        Part Two: How Tainted Human Blood Became A Major U.S. Export

        Part One: Laetrile: The Fake Cancer Cure That Birthed The Right-Wing Medical Grifting Industry

        Part Two: Laetrile: The Fake Cancer Cure That Birthed The Right-Wing Medical Grifting Industry

        Part One: Elan School: The Worst ‘Troubled Teen’ Facility

        Part Two: Elan School: The Worst ‘Troubled Teen’ Facility

          The guest on these episodes, Dr Kaveh Hoda, also has his own show, that focuses on medical topics, that’s also really good. In fact, they just put out an episode today regarding this topic.

      Except for a handful, all federal politicians are bought and paid for and only serve the oligarchs. If money isn’t stripped from politics (see Citizens United), then USA will continue to degrade.

    That’s odd. I thought it was the MMR vaccine.

    But it’s a lie that fits his agenda so they’re going to roll with it
