The Truth about RFK Jr

At SBM Dr. David Weinberg wrote about the HHS report to Congress, "The presence of the “oaicite” string in some of the reference provides a smoking gun. This a fingerprint of use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in creation of the report”: “oaicite” is a placeholder for a link to a reference to be added later. If for some reason the reference is not added “oaicite” will persist in the output. This text string is meaningless and confusing to the reader but is an artifact of AI output. Use of AI as a tool is not surprising, or particularly concerning."

Regarding the HHS MAHA report on children he also stated, "This sloppy document would be laughable if it were not from the most consequential US health organization to the Congress of the United States. If I were supervising a trainee on a project, and if that trainee produced a document of this sort, I would seriously consider removing them from the project."

Fierce Pharma reported, "Vinay Prasad, M.D., has left the FDA less than three months into the role as director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), overseeing vaccines and cell and gene therapies...Prasad’s exit also followed criticism from Laura Loomer, a right-wing activist reportedly with access to President Donald Trump. Aiming at Prasad’s previous statements that didn’t seem to align with Trump’s policies, Loomer had called Prasad a “leftist saboteur” who was “undermining President Trump’s FDA.” A Wall Street Journal opinion piece by Allysia Finley, a member of the publication's editorial board, labeled Prasad “a Bernie Sanders acolyte in MAHA drag” and someone “who doesn’t think patients can be trusted to make their own healthcare decisions.” The article also lambasted his past support for “a strong regulatory state” and condemned his role in forcing the market suspension of Elevidys...During Prasad’s time, the FDA has tightened its regulation of COVID-19 vaccines." The contrast between the "right to try" attitude for some therapies versus the restrictive attitude toward the Covid-19 vaccines is worthy of note.
 
With respect to the Chris Cuomo interview discussed above, "Uma Naidoo, MD is a nutritional psychiatrist and the Director of Nutritional & Lifestyle Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital and the author of the book This Is Your Brain on Food: An Indispensable Guide to the Surprising Foods that Fight Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and More. She is interested in how the we food eat contributes to our mental health and how a sound diet can help treat and prevent a wide range of psychological and cognitive health issues." link. Dr. Uma Naidoo discussed vitamins here.

KFF Health News reported, "In their zeal to “Make America Healthy Again,” Trump administration officials are making statements that some advocacy and medical groups say depict patients and the doctors who treat them as partly responsible for whatever ails them. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and agency leaders have attributed a panoply of chronic diseases and other medical issues — such as autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, depression, diabetes, and obesity — to consumers and their lifestyle choices, according to a review of 15 hours of recorded interviews, social media statements, and federal reports."

The pill peddlers also got into the cabinet, Dr Oz and so on. So they come out and say "throw out your blood presssure pills and everything else, they are made from petroleum." The they sell "natural suplements" like K, Mg and Ca and package it with some nice graphics and the customer is instantly convinced that "drugs are bad and expensive." How does that work? How are they so quickly convinced? They are likely to think the price for real drugs is a ripoff, so that part may work a bit. But why does "may reduce" somewhow convince but a clinical study does not?
Google AI link claims: Berries, particularly strawberries and blueberries, are beneficial for blood pressure due to their high content of anthocyanins, according to The National Council on Aging (NCOA). Research indicates that these compounds can help reduce blood pressure in individuals with hypertension, notes The National Council on Aging (NCOA). A study showed that consuming 200 grams of blueberries daily for 40 days led to a reduction in blood pressure. Furthermore, the study indicated that positive effects could be observed within just two hours of consumption,

Not anthocyanins again?

Which have only been shown to have some in vitro effects, but no in vivo effects, just like most other anti-oxidants.

Google AI needs some better sources or to stop hallucinating.
 
At Inside Medicine Jeremy Faust wrote, "At least three members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee to the Director have been fired, Inside Medicine has learned. Epidemiologist Dr. Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at the Brown University School of Public Health, announced her termination on LinkedIn, but I’ve also confirmed that there are at least two other members of the committee who have been removed, all without justification. One of the other terminated members, Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, also posted the news on LinkedIn. Dr. Bagdasarian is an infectious diseases and public health expert, and is listed as a “chief medical executive” for the State of Michigan...“I’m obviously disappointed by this decision,” Dr. Nuzzo told Inside Medicine.“The fact that it was made before the newly appointed CDC Director [Dr. Susan Monarez] was able to take the helm will unnecessarily raise questions about the CDC’s independence. This is not what the CDC needs right now. It needs to be able to lead with transparency and accountability”...Generally, there is some turnover in membership, staggered to ensure continuity."
 
The Lancet published a comment that stated in part, "A separate longitudinal analysis of almost 300 million tweets on Twitter (now X) in 2021 found that only 800 “superspreader” accounts were responsible for a third of all vaccine misinformation retweets, with the most prominent account belonging to Robert F Kennedy Jr, accounting for more than 13% of these retweets.3 These accounts operated primarily within the US digital ecosystem but had global reach, reinforcing the role of American-origin misinformation as a destabilising force in international vaccination confidence."

Can they get the account banned on Xitter? Plenty of other nasty accounts get banned daily, in that absolute free speech bastion.

I remember when I was in middle school and the Internet was this new, cool repository of knowledge and a fun place to hang out. We kids were all making our own personal web sites, finding info for group projects online, it was this exciting new place we loved to be on. I wasn't an adult then, but I know they had high hopes it'd be a tool for spreading knowledge, freedom, and democracy.

Yeah. Big business ensured it didn't quite turn out that way, didn't they.
 
In anticipation of Susan Monarez's becoming director of the CDC, Dr. Jeremy Faust reviewed the timeline of the last six months. At Inside Medicine he wrote, "On February 20, a late February meeting of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) was postponed, without explanation. The claim was that a longer public comment period was needed. (This came around the same time that Secretary Kennedy moved to eliminate comment periods from many rules and regulation processes.)"

In a article entitled "‘Make America Healthy Again’ is winning young voters — Democrats should worry" at The Hill Liz Peek wrote, "But Kennedy has acknowledged that public trust in U.S. vaccine mandates and indeed in our health industries need to be rebuilt. He is right. That has led to a complete overhaul of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, citing “persistent conflicts of interest” among members of the former board which, he wrote in a recent op-ed, “has never recommended against a vaccine — even those later withdrawn for safety reasons.” Having new, independent researchers take a fresh look at Americans’ vaccine regimen should be welcomed." ABC news reported, "In fact, members ACIP have at times recommended a narrower use of a vaccine than what was technically allowed by authorization from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)." The ACIP recommended against RotaShield in 1999.

It’s becoming almost like the debate about who was the worse, Hitler or Stalin. Like Stalin, I really think that RFK jr will end up with a far higher body count.

Trump appointed Kennedy. Kennedy's death count will be just a subset of Trump's.

At 0.5-1 gram per blueberry, that's at least two hundred blueberries per day. It seems to me that...some people...are using petroleum as a scare word. This is a form of chemophobia.

I thought it was just liberal global warming hoaxers who hated petroleum, which every REAL American knows is the only proper source of energy. Other than Clean Coal, that is.

Is Peek seriously arguing that an ACIP made up of ignoramus shills for the "alternative health" scam industry makes it independent? I knew the Hill's standards were low, but I didn't realise they'd fallen below rock bottom.
 
At The Hill Liz Peek wrote, "On the subject of food dyes, which the HHS secretary says “cause cancer, and ADHD in children,” she wrote, “some small clinical trials have suggested that certain synthetic food dyes may increase hyperactivity in children.”“Many experts agree,” she continued, “it wouldn’t hurt to avoid them.”" There are several problems in this paragraph, but I would like to focus on one. If I were making a list of problems in the area public health (including nutrition), I don't think that food dyes would break the top fifty. I am much more worried about the next pandemic, for instance.
