Yep, it's the party of stupid
Really, there ' s just no other word for it. You may have seen this tweet from Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Green -- and keep in mind that she got a huge majority of votes in her district. And oh yeah, this already had nearly 4,000 likes when snipped. If I have to explain to you why this is stupider than an 80 pound bag of portland cement, there is no hope for you. Then there is Senator Ron Johnson, who won the majority of votes in the entire state of Wisconsin,who accuses Anthony Fauci of " overhyping " the AIDS epidemic.Discussing the omicron variant, Johnson accused individuals in the U.S. of try...

Can Democracy Survive In The Absence of Health Care Security?
By MIKE MAGEE
In my course this fall at the President’s College at the University of Hartford, we began by exploring the word “right” at the intersection of health care services and the U.S. Constitution. But where we have ended up is at the crossroads of American history, considering conflicting federal and state law, and exploring Social Epidemiology, a branch of epidemiology that concentrates on the impact of the various social determinants of health on American citizens.
What makes the course timely and relevant is that we are uncovering a linkage between health and the construction or destruction of ...

Surprising Infant Formula Ingredients
Added sugar is one of the biggest problems not only in kids’ diets but in the American diet overall. Added sugar is fueling the childhood obesity epidemic. But our childhood obesity problems start well before school age. In fact, it starts before most babies are even walking. By 9 months old, 30% of American babies are overweight — not just chubby, but they have too many fat cells and sugar in infant formula is one of the reasons.
What is sugar even doing in infant formula? Great question.
The sugars naturally found in foods can be beneficial. It may surprise you to find that one of the places sugars are f...

A pandemic is not a war. It ’s a natural disaster.
The main reason we are seemingly so accepting of lockdowns and vaccine mandates is that we have been conditioned to view a pandemic or an epidemic as a war being waged on our society. In wartime, we naturally expect civil liberties to be suspended. Likewise, the reasoning goes, during a pandemic we need to actRead more …A pandemic is not a war.

From Drug Design To Distribution: This Is How Robotics, A.I. and Blockchain Transforms Pharma
Exoskeletons to aid pharma factory workers. 3D printing to allow pharmacies to produce drugs on the spot. Blockchain technologies to help fight counterfeit drugs.
These are just bits and pieces, but the entire process of the pharmaceutical supply chain will be affected by disruptive technologies. Let me show you how innovations will make it more efficient, faster and cheaper than ever before.
“We call it Robi”, the smiling pharmacist told me when I looked at the robotic dispenser pacing up and down in a small glass-fronted drug storage room of the pharmacy. The robot spares humans about two hours of med...
