Speed running government distrust so they can begin auctioning off the public sector and taking their sweet cut

[-] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

And when these MAGA morons give their autistic kid "the cure" and it doesn't work they'll blame democrats for "tainting it" or some stupid bullshit idk I fucking hate it here

[-] Inucune@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

They don't think [the rest of this post has been omitted for being redundant]

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

Everyone knows we're not coming back from this, right?

Pandora's Box is open. Cat is out of the bag. Genie is out of the bottle.

Bury all these fucks 6 feet under and it's still already too late. The institutions have been weakened. Brains have been rotted. Copycats will step up to fill the vacuum. Congress is still infected. It's over.

It'll be like the end of Return of The King. It'll take a while, but it's still the ending.

Could have been worse, like realizing it's genetic and issuing mandatory sterilizations to both the autistic people and their parents.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 8 points 6 days ago

There's still time!

[-] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 days ago

It is men taking power over women and deciding how they should be treated. What else to expect from a rapist?

[-] coffeeng@fedia.io 17 points 1 week ago

Not iHerb! That’s my go to shop. Any alternative to recommend?

[-] EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago

I know! Is the only way to get decent peanut butter in some countries. Guess I'm going to have to learn how to make peanut butter.

[-] starlinguk@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Apparently someone of Kenvue Inc. (owner of the Tylenol brand) forgot to pay the bribe.

Next week it will be some random product that Bayer makes that may or may not be linked to autism.

[-] RhondaSandTits@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 6 days ago

I knew it was gonna be dumb, but fuck-a-duck! I was not expecting fucking Tylanol to get blamed

[-] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Excellent news. Autism finally squared away. We can dedicate our scientists to finding a cure for trumpism.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

most pregnant women have been taking folic acid supplements for 40 years.

[-] childOfMagenta@jlai.lu 1 points 5 days ago

Look it works, I have never seen a pregnant autist. Check mate!

It's like they're trying to be fascists but they're so bad at it. All they can do is run around and jerk each other off while telling their goons to go harrass minorities

[-] staph@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 days ago

Dreading when USA Thalidomide moment comes

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I keep forgetting to comment this, but does anyone else remember RFK jr setting a September deadline for "curing Autism"? Like, I remember it being a big deal at the time because that's not really how science works. Right wingers tried to contrast it with Biden claiming he would find a cure for cancer, but he didn't set himself an arbitrary deadline to make that happen.

How suspicious is it that he nailed his deadline window for discovering the "cause" and now has a bogus cure in the chamber as well? Nevermind the fact that they don't provide any actual evidence of any of these claims.

How can "Dr. Oz" sell folinic acid? Isn't it prescription-only in the US?

[-] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago

Leucovorin is the prescription version and is much higher dosage (mg range) whereas supplements are much lower (mcg range). This potentially clears a path for Dr oz to sell way more folinic acid (like literally 1000x more) or opens the door for a few manufacturers of generic leucovorin (gsk is the original but basically abandoned it years ago)

[-] kungen@feddit.nu 2 points 6 days ago

But it's literally the same substance... weird stuff.

[-] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

There are many prescription versions of supplements but they’re often rarely prescribed because of cost unless there is a specific need. Prescription meds are actually regulated though (supplements are not regulated in any way) so they are superior, albeit far more costly. But because supplements are unregulated there is no way to be sure the advertised dosage is correct, or the advertised compound is even present (though some manufacturers do independent testing tbf)

Take vitamin d for example. Most Americans (and most people in the world, tbh) are deficient. But your doctor will likely tell you to just get vitamin d supplements even though prescription cholecalciferol exists. That is typically only used for serious deficiencies, like if you need 50,000iu weekly. But it is manufactured in more traditional dosages like 1-2000iu for daily use.

But in America for a great deal of people who are either uninsured, underinsured, or even with decent insurance cholecalciferol will almost always be significantly more expensive than simply buying a supplement vitamin d3, so the supplement is recommended. And this is one of the cheapest possible examples. Deplin vs levomefolic acid for example is much more dramatic of a price difference

That's what happens when a snake oil salesman is given a government job.

Honestly, I blame Ophra Winfrey for propping up that quack TV host.

[-] Maxxie@piefed.blahaj.zone 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Do not get me even started

(for reading convenience, these are links for Rhonda Byrne, James A. Ray, Mehmet Oz, The Awareness Center, Deepak Chopra and Chirstiane Northrup. Her rap sheet is a lot ( a lot ) longer but I need to go to work)

The behind the bastards episodes on Oprah were enlightening

[-] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

After the Oprah episodes they did a compilation episode of all of the bastards Oprah gave us that they'd previously covered, including Dr Phil. It was like 9 hours long. I couldn't finish it.

[-] hopesdead@startrek.website 14 points 6 days ago

Phil McGraw, I like to point out has a bad reputation and still got a prime time drama about his career on CBS called Bull.

There are been allegations that the work environment on the set of his talk show was toxic for those working on it. On top of that, there had been allegations that guest who were on certain types of medications would have it withheld before taping. Separate from this there was allegations that guest would often be given alcohol and illicit drugs before taping.

I’ve only watched like five minutes of this show ever, where a mother tried reaching out to her daughter that was engaged in sex work. She wanted to get her daughter to stop the sex work. Everything McGraw said was vile and victim blaming about the daughter’s lifestyle. It was utterly disgusting.

Anyway what about the epstein files?
