BREAKING: A new leak of a DOGE document shows DOGE found only TWO potential cases of Social Security fraud in 110,000 new claims. In the process, they slowed down retirement processing 25%. DOGE isn't catching fraud. They're committing fraud.

We messed up. Somehow, we decided that every opinion should be treated the same. Even the ones that are clearly wrong. We stopped calling out nonsense. It’s time to say it: “You’re wrong. And here’s why.” Respecting people doesn’t mean respecting bad ideas.

No, the history is clear: Vaccine refusal in America occurred through a targeted war of disinformation waged by well-financed + politically-connected antiscience groups. They worked overtime to promote an agenda of pseudoscience and portray American scientists as public enemies

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Good advice... 4 ways to spot a dodgy ‘expert’ theconversation.com/when-it-comes-… 1. Dodgy experts don’t acknowledge uncertainty 2. The dodgy expert doesn’t strive to be objective 3. Dodgy experts cherry-pick evidence 4. Dodgy experts don’t change their mind when the evidence changes

In the space of 48 hours HHS Secretary RFK Jr has announced he will prioritise wearable "wellness" trackers which have no proven health benefits, and slash funding for vaccines which have saved tens of millions of lives globally He's a dangerous fraud.
