Israel is descending into a widespread mental health crisis following a familiar pattern known to science. Such large-scale violent conflict has consistently been shown to produce substantial, long-lasting mental-health impacts among whole populations.

Pharmaceutical branding: “building the beast” ~~ Each word has an entire volume of history attached to it.  Where does it come from?

Britain faces the risk of energy shortages because of a “planning paralysis” crippling the nuclear sector, a think tank has warned.

Picture this: you’re a vegetarian physician running a health spa in Michigan at the turn of the 20th century, convinced that meat consumption leads to sexual degeneracy and moral decay.

A few days of solar fireworks were all it took to remind us of a basic truth: the universe is not a friendly place

A new peer-reviewed study has quietly revealed one of the most consequential biological findings of the pandemic era — and the authors never acknowledge it: Every single vaccinated participant in the study had fibrinolysis-resistant, ThT-positive amyloid microclots circulating in their blood

I had a fruitful conversation with Grok, after he/she/it mentioned in passing that floods in Monmouth since 2000 had become more frequent because of ‘climate change’

In my role as Co-chairperson and member of the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, I have been participating in a training course regarding the GRADE methodology for public health decision-making

The title is lifted from an email I received, one of many asking me to look into the paper “A calibration of nucleic acid (PCR) by antibody (IgG) tests in Germany: the course of SARS-CoV-2 infections estimated” by Michael Günther Robert Rockenfeller, and Harald Walach in Frontiers: Epidemiology

Soft light. Glowing faces. The uplifting orchestral swell of a life turned from dark to better. Those sun-dappled blades of grass? Not just stalks whistling in the wind. But a metaphor, a rebirth and rejuvenation of not only the human condition – of reality itself

In a development with profound scientific and public-health implications, the CDC has quietly updated its longstanding position on vaccines and autism—acknowledging for the first time that the long-repeated denial “vaccines do not cause autism” has never been an evidence-based statement

This really is serious. The British Medical Journal has put its reputation on the line with this report detailing the flaws in AstraZeneca’s Ticagrelor testing, reporting and the subsequent warnings ignored by the FDA

As more and more people are awakening to the dangers of vaccines, they are gradually discovering a problem vaccine safety advocates have had to deal with for decades—talking to vaccine zealots is like speaking to a brick wall and regardless of the evidence you put forward, you can’t reach them (sometimes seeming as though you are speaking to a religious fanatic who is unwilling to even consider the ‘blasphemy’ you are spewing forth)

 

The new “Autism and Vaccines” page starts telling the truth, including:

“The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.”

 

The headline says it all. In short, COP30 achieved nothing at all. I will do a full analysis later, but Matt McGrath’s summing up tells us all we need to know:
