I hate psychiatry and love drugs

@iatrophilosophos

medicine-obsessed. ask me about medical epistemology and logics of pharmaceutical development/production. ppl should talk to me if they feel like it im just stupid and i only like 3-4 things. southern appalachian woodsdwelling wingnut. kind of mean. anticiv antipsych antisocial. nihilist egoist. it/its. tme. "adult"

So turns out the US are setting babies up for a lifetime of illness and increased likelihood of liver cancer in Guinea Bissau in the name of “research”

7000 newborns will be denied the neoneatal HepB vaccine until 6 weeks to ‘prove’ that the HepB vaccine is linked to neurodevelopmental disability on the directions of the Department of Health vis RFK Jr and in collaboration with researchers in Denmark, despite the fact that the vaccine’s efficacy rate and best protection is when administered to newborns, and the total lack of correlation between vaccination and neurodevelopmental disabilities.

Guinea Bissau has some of the highest rates of HepB on the continent, and infants are the group at the highest risk of contracting HepB, leading to chronic hepatitis & long term hepatic diseases like cirrhosis and liver failure as well as increased chance of liver cancer.

The study can’t be carried out in the US or Denmark because it fails almost every benchmark for medical ethics — surprising absolutely nobody, it is in fact heinously unethical to expose babies to preventable disease that causes liver failure and liver cancer, but the “study” has been green lit in Guinea.

Fuck the US imperial project in Africa, fuck RFK Jr and the US Department of Health, and fuck every single collaborative researcher in Denmark. This is some nightmare Tuskegee Study shit and every single individual involved deserves to be in The Hague.

how long til someone getting assualted by an ICE goon waxes them and we get trump or vance calling for a ban on conceal carry?

tbh im surprised no one has tried to use lethal force against them yet

Minneapolis as a collective body has shown an unbelievable amount of restraint. Like. This is the kind of shit that's happening out here.

Another person got shot tonight. Story seems to be that they were chasing a guy around for a half hour, until he went to his home, then he got shot in the leg. I'm seeing people say the victim's family said they started shooting through the door. They definitely deployed flashbangs. A witness reported "agents in tactical gear were shooting through a second-floor window." the DHS claim is that an agent was attacked with a plastic snow shovel and a broom, so they shot the victim defensively. Victim is alive, the wound was "non life-threatening," but that doesn't really mean anything because just about any gunshot wound is potentially life-threatening.

This situation is an absolute nightmare. They are trying to provoke fatal retaliation in order to declare some kind of emergency and flood the state with even more goons. Frey made the point that there are thousands of ICE agents in Minneapolis right now. MPD has 600 officers. They don't even have the numbers to resist this operation. Now, federal funding is getting cut, apparently. We are quite literally under siege. The federal Democrats aren't doing fuck all. All I've heard anyone do about this is resign from state-level positions.

People are trying to keep things from getting worse but I'm really worried that a line is gonna get crossed and it's gonna become a fucking warzone.

Apparently ICE now has agents posing as utility workers to get into people's homes. The electric and gas companies have posted information on how to tell if it's one of their workers, and numbers to call to confirm whether they've sent someone to do utility work on your house.

Stay safe, friends.
