A recent photo of Donald Trump, at just 79 years old. Look at the myriad abrasions and hematomas! He looks awful! The good news is that he finally looks ready to do some meaningful work! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If hydrochloric acid is a panacea like hydroxychloroquine, is it any wonder that he experienced a cure?🤔🤣🙃😉
May 28
Telling people with reflux symptoms to swallow hydrochloric acid is not benign.
There is no RCT in all of history (going back 95 years since oral acid "to aid digestion" was popularized) for GERD. In fact, the only current trials are for autoimmune gastritis and EXCLUDE GERD.

About CDC's overstatement of prescription opioid OD deaths? I believe that it came out in 2017: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article… Glad to see that it's been cited so many times!
May 21
Thank you. I do what I can as I can. Gratefully, I was mentored by many still here. I love watching new people pick up the banner and run with it. You too, played a part in that mentoring. Would you post the article about cdc again? Came out in 2018? I think.

"When you have religion you have less crime." How many of the white Christian nationalists that worship the POS have been convicted of sexual assaults, frequently pedophilia?

Good point. We can assign a -7 for "Broadly Pernicious".

I know that it's in bad taste to evoke Hitler, but I'm seriously starting to miss the old genocidal Fuhrer right now...

CMS Mulls Auto-Enrolling Seniors Into Medicare Advantage medpagetoday.com/publichealt… Medicare Advantage programs are absolutely larcenous, devised to rip off suckers and fools. And this thieving administration wants to make them mandatory?!?!

I hear you, but respectfully disagree. That he's a "really bad person" suggests that he meets the diagnostic criteria for all 4 Cluster B Personality disorders, so he's indeed "mentally ill". His rapid descent into dementia also can't be ignored. He's a POS, broadly.

He's not mentally ill or cognitively impaired, he's just a really bad person.

theguardian.com/news/2026/ma… Amazing. Over 3/4 of the UK's millionaires are willing to pay more taxes, while in the US, we can't even convince multi-billionaires to capitulate to this. Certainly illustrates that the US has become the "United States of Selfish Greed".

Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth medpagetoday.com/publichealt… Babies aren't bleeding to death here in Spain. Great to live in a country in which healthcare policy is still driven by science rather than conspiracy theories.

Trump Promised Cheaper Drugs. Some Prices Dropped. Many Others Shot Up. medpagetoday.com/washington-… KFF data demonstrate that 60% of Americans now worry about their ability to afford prescription drugs. More underperforming will translate to more deaths, thanks to the Lying Turd.

journals.plos.org/plosone/ar… Great recent study demonstrating how flawed the research on long-term opioid therapy risk has been over the years. My sense is that the bias from such has skewered many patients with chronic pain. Nice work by @HurleyMDPhD and colleagues.

Another point, my friend. I don't hold much malice toward the policymakers of the 2010s, as I see them as ignorant pawns of the asswipes from PROP - whose leadership intentionally deceived them while making bank. Compared to JFucK, Jr, those policymakers were relatively benign.
You’re right. I hate when people overlook other causes, solely blame the Sacklers, then give a pass to policymakers.

And that's just the beginning of it. See: Madras BK. The President’s Commission on combating drug addiction and the opioid crisis: origins and recommendations. Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2018;103(6):943–945.

That Trump continues to assert that his brief cognitive screenings were tests of intellect are ample evidence of some combination of his stupidity, his dementia, and his severe characterological disturbance(s).

Hey, other countries in the world, just imagine what it would be like for such a man to become president.

Chad, my friend - I'm the first to acknowledge that there were multiple causes of the opioid epidemic. However, the contribution of the Sacklers cannot be overlooked. AG James is simply pointing out that they were criminal, not assigning sole responsibility. Be gentle!😘
85% of opioid-involved overdose deaths are from illicit fentalogues with multiple other substances.
Last time I looked, although Purdue Pharma admitted to illegal marketing OxyContin, they weren’t using illicit fentalogues in their products.
The #OverdoseCrisis arose from flawed federal & state opioid policies and failed law enforcement approaches to dual epidemics of uncontrolled pain & misuse of diverted licit or illicit drugs. Own it.

Dr. Michael Schatman retweeted
In economics, it's argued that more transparency is a good thing. This could apply to healthcare, too, but there are reasons to be skeptical. While it may help, increased transparency isn’t the answer to meaningfully reducing patients' out-of-pocket costs.
