Gain of function research allows us to make insulin to save lives of diabetic people! "recombinant DNA technology, where the human insulin gene is inserted into bacteria, allowing them to produce human insulin" That's GAIN OF FUNCTION. Bacteria gained function of making insulin

Gain of function research cures baby with metabolic disorder. NIH-supported gene-editing platform lays groundwork to rapidly develop treatments for other rare genetic diseases. Fixing a gene is gain of function #RFK #gainoffunction #nih #research #Health nih.gov/news-events/ne…

Everyone needs to have emergency prep kits at home. Often the emergency isn't predicted. With global warming & huge storms it causes, you better prepare now. You also need cash when power is out #HurricaneSeason #floods #ClimateCrisis #climateawareness ready.gov/kit

I’d vote for it if we got real spending cuts. But this bill is the largest debt increase in U.S. history—$5T. That’s like giving your 16-year-old a credit card, watching them rack up $2K on booze and gambling, then raising their limit to $10K. Irresponsible.

People who have lung problems, have cancer treatment, or are immunocompromised need to wear masks. Here’s a summary of the data on why masks work. nytimes.com/2023/03/10/opi…

Cancer rates have been going up since 1990s. Pollution in air/water, fast food, poor diet, low exercise, chemicals, increasing diabetes -all way before COVID vaccines. Increases in GI cancers started in 1994 #covid #vaccines #vaccinedeaths #COVID25 onclive.com/view/efforts-a…

We would expect new cancer diagnoses to be up, to spike, to make up for the dip in diagnoses during COVID, but we don't see it: it has just returned to normal level, details at this link #covid #turbocancer #Cancer #CancerResearch #cancercure #COVID_25 nih.gov/news-events/ne…

Vaccines have been amazingly effective in preventing serious illness, death for decades. People have forgotten how bad it was, 6 examples. Protection correlates with vaccines, not anything else #vaccines #RFKjr #RFK #ACIP #vaccineinjuries #VaccineGate nature.com/articles/s4157…

Senate Republicans, the late Senator John McCain will forever be remembered as the maverick who helped save the Affordable Care Act. You can do the same and stop this malignant bill from hurting millions of us. Please consider being a John McCain. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Who is one of the nation’s biggest opponents of the Big, Beautiful Bill? Pope Leo and the Catholic Church. Twenty bishops called President Trump’s cuts to Medicaid and food stamps “an affront to the dignity of human life.”

US National Institutes of Health study shows that air pollution increases lung cancer in NON smokers. Burning fossil fuels, vehicle exhaust and wildfire smoke all increase cancer in non smokers #cancer #healthylifestyle #ClimateScam #ClimateReport #NIH nih.gov/news-events/ne…
