"There are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism," Kennedy said Oct. 9 at President Donald Trump’s Cabinet meeting.

At some point we need to have a very serious discussion about just what damage those worms did to RFK Jr's brain before they were removed. The guy is certifiable.  ::)

Knowing now that "Big-Pharma" gives shitloads of cash to Republican senator pockets, looks like RFK backpedaled his rhetoric on going after the vaccines and now is pushing this last right-wing conspiracy horseshit.


They are all cowards.

I think the figure was that there are 70 big pharma lobbyists in Washington for every congressman.
By far one of the biggest funders.
Big food is not far behind.
Coca cola taking legal action to ensure billions of dollars of food stamps for the poor could be spent on coca cola but not on steaks ( too expensive).

Big food makes 70 % fat
And big pharma had the average American adult on 5 , yes 5 medications for life for cholesterol hypertension diabetes.


Even in Australia, the cholesterol drug lipitor costs the taxpayer over a billion a year in subsidies.
As the drug companies wine and dine doctors to prescribe it.
And yes it is linked to dementia.
Your brain is pretty fatty.

Could you have a good cholesterol by eating maybe fruit and vegetable
Oh but they don't taste as good as fries and donuts.

RFK. is absolutely right to go after big pharma and big food.
Will he succeed
Not a chance in hell


Your average chode doesn't want to eat well and exercise.

He wants a f..ing pill for everything because he is a lazy dickhead

They should remove government subsidies for pills that counted bad food and lifestyle choices.
Prescribe vegetables, fruit and exercise instead.

Cowards, indeed.

Circumcision today, maybe tonsillectomies tomorrow.

Anything to distract from this:

You're absolutely right that this particular fight is worth having. Big Pharma and Big Food, especially in the United States, have played a disgraceful role in wrecking public health in a post-scarcity world.

But let's not pretend that getting one issue correct somehow absolves RFK of the colossal damage he's caused over the years, including the very real body count tied to his crusades.

He's a complete lunatic who just happens to have stumbled onto the truth in this one specific instance.

I agree with that .  His silly statements detract from the more basic sensible nutrition advice

It is unremarkable to state this.

First study is effect of paracetamol.

Second one is into ritual circumcision.

Study shows severe pain early in childhood can cause autism.

Conclusions: "these data cannot provide strong evidence of causality."

I see you've neglected to comment on the science of early circumcision causing autism in your rather expansive post here, dear.

How peculiar.

Given the early circumcision rate in Australia is down to around 10%, you'd assume we'd a have far lower autism rate than a country with over 60%, right?

Wrong. Around one in 40 Australians had a diagnosis of autism in 2022. In the US, it's around one in 31, give or take your respective target population.

And many of those target populations include children, juvenile offenders and those with extended access to clinical, paediatric, psychological and even legal services.

Cunning, no?

In Australia, our population has extended access to clinical services through the NDIA. Here, I'd suggest the rate of diagnosis for conditions such as ASD has far more to do with our parents' ability to navigate the NDIS, wouldn't you say?

Far more than the existence of a prepuce, anyway.

So, I'd suggest this proposition makes you rather nervous. On the one hand, you'd love to blame ambulance-chasing paediatricians for giving every awkward kid a silly three-letter label. Back in your day, they were just called dorks, no?

But on the other hand, this goes against every MAGA bogeyman in the book: fluoride in the drinking water, Tylenol, any form of vaccine and now this: "early" circumcision, whatever that actually means.

Of course, no one will have time to flesh the latter question out before RFK Jnr moves onto his next crackpot theory, flooding the zone with bullshit, as your Superior Man likes to do.

It could give the white supremacists, Steve Bannons and Tucker Carlsons something else to blame the Jews for - if it wasn't for the fact that 70% of them are circumcised themselves, so that idea's out the window. The Christian nationalists never did get in on the whole intactivist thing, leaving that fight to Californian lefties and soccer moms.

So, we're left with one more half-arsed thought-bubble, hence your refusal to even bother commenting on it.

You'd rather spruik Ivermectin and get your fourth or fifth covid shot, just to be on the safe side.

Belt and braces, innit.

There's probably a few threads I could post this in but here will do.  :)

Trump remains in 'exceptional health', doctor's note says after check-up


Quote:

US President Donald Trump was found to be in "exceptional health" in a medical evaluation, his doctor said in a memo released by the White House on Friday.

Really? He sure doesn't look too healthy these days.

Now, let's see an evaluation of his mental health.


Quote:

The president also received preventive health screenings and immunisations, including annual flu and updated COVID-19 booster vaccinations, in preparation for his upcoming international travel.

I thought Trump and RFK Jr. didn't believe in vaccines? Especially for Covid (which isn't even supposed to be around anymore, is it? I still keep seeing "post-COVID" in news stories).

Updated COVID-19 booster, eh? If it's a newer one than the JN.1 vaccine that's still the latest one available in Australia and is nearly a year out of date variant wise then when will we be getting an updated one here?

Either/Or, Monk. The old boy never went in for the articles anyway.

I think he prefers the centerfolds, no?

That's for the chodes, Carl. You're supposed to prescribe them rotting vegetables and horse deworming treatments.

Lives of pure garbage, no?
