Most people think leaving is failure. I used to believe that too.
Right up until the night a twenty-three-year-old walked into my ER, and I realized I could no longer be a part of what I was watching.
The previously healthy young woman came in unable to speak clearly, with sudden weakness on one side of her body.
Textbook stroke - but obviously it had to be something else, because she was twenty-three.
Advanced imaging showed multiple small strokes. Some fresh. Some hours old, maybe days.
Nothing in her history explained it - except one thing. A pharmaceutical product her university had mandated before she could start the semester. One week earlier.
I could diagnose her. Stabilize her. Get neurology involved. But none of that would touch why it was allowed to happen in the first place.
I couldn't even document it properly. No diagnostic code existed for what I was looking at. She wouldn't become a statistic. There would be no accountability. It was almost as if it never happened at all.
That's how it works.
We don't just harm people. We make the harm invisible.
A few months later, I left. Not because I stopped caring. Because I finally understood that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is loudly refuse to participate in the dysfunction.
I'm not the only one who's come to that conclusion.
I wrote about what that costs - and what we owe the people willing to pay it.

Great! Approve them all!
We fired the best regulators we’ve ever had, so clearly “safe and effective” isn’t really the goal of FDA anyway.
Let’s all just stop pretending.

The media was so desperate to score against Trump’s FDA it buried the real story: the old FDA cleared pediatric drugs on the thinnest evidence—drugs which went on to kill the kids they were meant to save—then cheered a planted MAGA/@WSJ campaign against the regulators attempting to course correct.
The real story is best narrated by folks like @HCLibertyLab

I read this when you wrote it, and it is powerful and on point.
The FDA is a deeply troubled agency, and the precedent has been set that you will be fired if you prevent the approval of any rare-disease drug.
The Pharma/WSJ controls the political apparatus, and you can accept this or oppose it and realize you will be attacked.
I wish @VPrasadMDMPH all the best!

The day Elon Musk told X advertisers to "go fck yourselves" he was worth $220 billion

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

riverside.com/shared/exporte… The misinformation campaign against @VPrasadMDMPH was despicable and concerning for all who want a functioning FDA.
@HCLibertyLab discusses her thoughts on this important issue.
@operationdanish @DutchRojas @HeathVeuleman @DrDiGiorgio @anish_koka
I wish the best for @VPrasadMDMPH, and he can take solace in the great work @anish_koka did explaining the issues that Vanay had with approving drugs without adequate studies.
I look forward to the next chapter in Vanay's career!

Sunshine makes everything better EXCEPT my smile lines.
(I'm okay with the trade off)
For decades we taught patients to fear the sun like it was a biohazard.
Now we have a population that's vitamin D deficient, overweight, mentally ill, and indoors 93% of the time.
Hmm.
Morning light sets your circadian rhythm. Midday sun makes vitamin D supplements can't fully replicate. Time outside lowers cortisol like magic.
Your face will keep score. Mine sure does.
But I'd rather have a face that's seen the sun than one that's perfectly preserved with no sparkle.

There's a very long list of medical dogma in need of an upgrade.
If only someone had tried to warn us?
Maybe wrote a book or tried to reform the unreformable?

Asking for better studies isn't anti-science.
It's the definition of science.
Virology could probably use an upgrade.

Covid was a gateway drug.
Public health abandoned all reason (and standards). Many of us figured out we were being played.
It starts with questioning one tiny thing. Then the next. Then 5 years later you find yourself in the Golden Sack Club.
I don't know if synthetic materials (proven to disrupt hormones) are the reason that infertility is up and sperm counts are 50% of what they were for our parents and grandparents, but modern medicine has no answers for you.
They'll say, "we don't know what's causing sex organ dysfunction" and "only a crank would be worried about fertility and microplastics" in the same breath.
Professed ignorance followed by total certainty about who's wrong to question. Familiar story from the experts who oversaw the complete destruction of health in this country.
Until science comes up something coherent, I'm gonna bet on the Golden Sack Club.

I turned down Johns Hopkins for Harvard because Harvard offered me a full scholarship. But wait…
A week after I arrived, they told me the full ride was meant for someone else.
DOH!
Clearly God needed to redirect me LOL.
But no matter which public health school I might have gone to, none would have taught me the actual foundations of the thing I was there to pursue - virus hunting.
When I finally looked, I found landmark studies that wouldn't pass muster by the most basic scientific method.
Virology has a methodology problem.
New piece up outlining what I found.

I saw a girl sitting in the grass.
No iPhone.
No earbuds.
No podcast leveling her up.
She was just sitting there.

At peace.

I went to school with the intention of spending my entire career controlling epidemics caused by viruses.
(Scary ones. Like Ebola.)
But I was never taught to question the foundations of the field.
When I finally looked into how we "know" what we know, I found imaginative experiments designed around:
> monkey kidney cells stressed to near-death,
> fetal cow blood products packed with stress hormones,
> cocktails of antimicrobials toxic to those same cells
All culminating into cell death strangely attributed entirely to a virus.
Most concerning, controls often showed the same deterioration as the group we monkeyed with (no pun intended).
Noticing isn't anti-science of course.
It's pro-rigor. Because rigor requires asking what's underneath.
That's exactly what this week's article is about.

Perhaps the most heartbreaking part of this post is all the wonderful families in the comments saying they would’ve adopted this baby.
This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21.
The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided.
I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley.
She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained.
Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000.
When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed.
Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism):
50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective.
I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life.
The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk.
We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.
This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast.
You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change.
To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward.
As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice.
It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome.
Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️

Kratom destroys lives.
Cool. No argument from me.
But this headline could be popped on top of an article about oh-so-many "legal drugs" we enjoy (but whose harms we're never allowed to acknowledge)
> GLPs
> SSRIs
> Benzos
> Adderall
> Antipsychotics
Almost dishonest to pretend its unique.
Pharmacology is cool. Changes and saves lives. Also destroys them.
Important to remember.
