The Truth about RFK Jr

MedPageToday wrote, "HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. abruptly cancelled the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) meeting slated for Thursday, a source with knowledge of the meeting told MedPage Today. USPSTF was set to discuss diet, physical activity, and weight loss to prevent cardiovascular disease in adults, the source said....Carroll said USPSTF members are appointed in staggered 4-year volunteer terms, and there is strict conflict-of-interest vetting for all candidates, which is vital since USPSTF guidance is widely adopted and covered by health insurance. Under this system, all administrations get to replace some USPSTF members."
 
At Inside Medicine Dr. Jeremy Faust wrote, "The Trump administration’s newly-installed vaccine czar at the FDA, Dr. Vinay Prasad, overrode staff scientists’ recommendations for full approval of Moderna’s pediatric Covid-19 vaccine, a July 9 memo indicates. Instead, FDA leadership granted what it calls full approval to Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine to individuals ages 6 months to 11 years old; In reality, the approval applies only to children with documented health conditions that increase the risk of severe Covid-19 illness, as discussed previously here in Inside Medicine...The memo explains in some detail—though without explicit evidence in many instances—the beliefs informing FDA leadership’s decision to ignore the data submitted by Moderna, chiefly its randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial that included all children, not just those with increased risks."

Humm, this is interesting: A new study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Cancers, finds that
two or more jabs of the COVID vaccine lowers the chances of surviving cancer:

Three or more.

"The prognosis for patients with three or more jabs was 10.3 months, and for 0-2 jabs, 14.9 months."

Which country was this and what was the vaccination regime & take up? An immediate possibility that occurs is that people with existing health issues would have been prioritised for shots & boosters.
 
Good evening, USA! Your Health Secretary is STILL trying to kill you! Thought you would be allowed protect yourself from the next COVID and other preventable diseases epidemics? (They won't be pandemics because they will be limited to just the USA.) Nope! That's communism or something! So your kids are just going to have to die by the tens of thousands so you can remain politically pure. Y'all have a nice day, now!
 
How manly is RFK Jr? So manly that he climbs Camelback Mountain in Phoenix during the summer wearing jeans. Having done that hike many times (always in shorts even in the winter) I'm impressed with his stamina, if not his common sense. How bad can his knees look that he has to cover them up?

Meh, it's a dry heat....

That said, many moons ago I threw a teenage strop at my family in downtown Las Vegas and walked to my uncle's house a couple of miles away in 50C or thereabouts heat and single digit humidity. It was not comfortable.

I never leave my house in anything but shorts, except for work. Even in the dead of winter I'll commonly run to the store and ◊◊◊◊ in shorts.

Lol I hate "it's a dry heat". It doesn't matter, it's hot. It's hot, hot. Being dry doesn't make it much better, imo.

If the humidity is too high, it reduces the evaporation of sweat and thus foils your body's attempt to cool itself.

As someone who's spent a lot of time in Georgia and Texas I can assure you humidity makes a hell of a difference. 100 in western Texas is far more comfortable than 85 in middle Georgia.

Being dry might not make it better, but being humid makes it worse! What TM said about evaporation.

True, but 100 in either is absolutely miserable. I'm in NE North Dakota. Most years the summers are 85-95 with higherish humidity. I hate humidity too, but as a fat, hairy guy both are terrible. Completely and entirely terrible.

Yeah, I guess I can't argue with that. Summer is my most hated season in North Dakota and in general.
 
I'm skinny and hairy and miserable in heat also. It's been 30+ degrees here in Bergen the past few years in summer and I'm still not used to it. Global warming sucks. Then again, it was worse in Houston.

I did a very similar hike just over a month ago, in essentially the same weather conditions.

I wore a long-sleeved nylon hiking shirt and long nylon pants. Unlike RFK Jr's shirt, which was soaked with sweat, my shirt was splotched white and stiff with salt when I reached the summit. Nylon dries faster than cotton.

The main reason I almost always hike or backpack in long sleeves and long pants is that, for many years, I lived in a tick-infested part of the country where mosquitos and flies were intolerably thick for about a month of every hiking season. I have also backpacked in several western areas where the mosquitos were really bad, such as the Wind River and Rawah wilderness areas.
