@glyph I want to stress this man is *not* the general public, he's a member of a small ideological minority… which… for… some… reason… has 100%, absolute control over the nation's science and health policy.
@glyph okay i guess that's not actually better

@glyph 51% of the voting public voted to defer their choice to the 45% of the voting public who always vote republican who voted to defer their choice to 27% of the voting public who are ideologically extreme republicans who decided to defer their choice to one single man from the television who decided to defer all health and science policy to the 5% of the general, possibly-voting public who believe contrarian and semi-mystical things about nutrition and health

are we going to have to start carrying geiger counters or something in case we happen to encounter one of Roeske's followers?
(normally i'd expect the mass-production of irradiated products to be blocked by regulations, but then i remembered that RFK is still secretary of the HHS)

Que tiene que ver los tecno oligarcas con ello?
Son los dueños de los medios de comunicación y las redes sociales?Luego, supongo que este hombre es un profesional de la desinformación, vive de la intoxicación .
Que pruebe con otras aguas para redondear el tratamiento, con plomo, amianto o cianuro.Pdt Al ladrón envenenador Ruso le encanta “repartir” polonio, es otra opción.

@glyph I normally don’t like to direct traffic towards these folks, but if you’re skeptical that someone you’ve never heard of has the most Oniony (seriously; read the article, it’s a doozy) article you’ve ever seen and is actually real, well…he does have a website, and it has a blog section: https://cultivateelevate.com/blog/
The FAQ will also be, ah, informative. I did get a chuckle at him touting his “organic” products for being safe from heavy metals, because those are bad for you.
