1/Why are detox juices so popular? Influencers across social media platforms claim that parasites are common and that regular detoxes with juices or alternative medicine are needed. 🧃 #DetoxMyth #PublicHealth

The potential for benzoyl peroxide to break down into benzene, particularly when exposed to high temperatures, is concerning. However, we need complete data transparency from Valisure (e.g. appropriate storage conditions) and we also need to be thoughtful about absolute risk.

Reports of high levels of #benzene —a cancer-causing chemical— in skincare products have generated concern and fear
But the viral claim that these products can cause cancer isn’t substantiated by evidence.
We explain why.

“Disease X” has sparked a number of conspiracy theories, such as the imminent arrival of a new, man-made pandemic
In reality, it merely refers to a possible pathogen of pandemic potential that may emerge

The paper you’re quoting shows that the trace amounts of vaccine found in some people’s breast milk up to 48h post-vaccination (and which we have known about since 2021) is not functional.
20 Sep 2023
In some ppl, trace amounts of #CovidVaccine mRNA are found in #breastmilk up to 48h post-vaccination. But is this mRNA functional?
👉🏻 75 - 88% of it not in tact
👉🏻 Spike protein not detected
👉🏻 Gut cells given milk mRNA do not make spike protein

The discoveries by Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman – awarded the 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine – were critical for developing effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 during the pandemic that began in early 2020.
Through their groundbreaking findings, this year’s laureates have fundamentally changed our understanding of how mRNA interacts with our immune system. They have contributed to the unprecedented rate of vaccine development during one of the greatest threats to human health in modern times.

The graphic represents the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine awarded to Katalin Karinkó and Drew Weissman who received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

Russell Brand built a new fanbase on YouTube in recent years, primed to mistrust the mainstream and come to his defence. A seductive soup of half-truths, real concerns and falsehoods gained him this much larger audience bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66842630

Disinformation is not Journalism, very much the opposite! Do not open doors for those who disguise themselves as Media to publish lies.
Let’s push big tech to do more against disinformation, not less.

Yes to this critique of @joerogan's #debatebobby call from @drskyskull:
"In order for a debate to actually be worthwhile, both participants must be sincerely dedicated to finding the truth; if one side is not committed to the truth, they will have an advantage, because it is much easier to spout falsehoods than it is to refute them."
Resonates with @AndrewDessler's latest post on the debating science (as distinct from policy), and he makes this valuable added point about the goals of those committed to a cause more than the truth (climate context): "It’s important to understand that the contrarian may not even be trying to win the debate. Rather, the goal of those opposed to climate policy is often to merely establish the existence of a debate and use this to argue that 'more research is needed'." theclimatebrink.substack.com…

This is an excellent point. The performative debates that some folks on social media want to see are simply not how science does it’s work.

Whether the topic is:
- Climate change
- GMOs
- Nuclear power
- Vaccines
- Homeopathy
- Astronomy
- Evolution
- or Covid-19...
...People who disagree most with the scientific consensus know less about the topic, but they think they know more.

This systematic review and meta analysis on mask harms has gone viral recently as it purports to show negative impacts of masking on various pathological factors

Request for help: I've devoted my @YouTube channel to fighting misinformation, but YouTube wrongly removed a video of mine (and rejected the appeal in less time than it would take to view the video itself) claiming it was *promoting* medical misinformation. @TeamYouTube 1/3
