  • This guy is a charlatan. He doesn’t understand medical facts or human behavior.

    1. Despite what the vitamin industry says, nutritional deficiencies are quite rare in the USA (except for vitamin D)
    2. As mentioned in the article, if your population isn’t vitamin deficient, you can’t assume that vitamin supplementation will have similar (or any) role as in developing countries with high prevalence of nutrition deficiencies to reduce mortality of infections.
    3. Vitamin A (along with the other fat-soluble vitamins) can actually be overdosed. (Fun fact: Polar Bear liver is toxic for human consumption because it contains vitamin A in huge concentrations)
    4. This kind of communication will lead for Vitamin A overdoses and vaccine avoidance.
    5. RFK will take no responsibility for either.

  • The summary is reasonable though. Again we are cutting trump and his underlings a ton of slack about his campaign claims of fixing the war in 24 hours, and 6 weeks into his presidency. No, we should not accept political hyperbole just because it comes from trump, and Stephanopoulos was rightly asking how does calling Zelenskyy a dictator (and undercutting Ukraine-supporting allies) but sucking up to putin move peace talks forward?

    As I said before, the way trump makes these deals is like putting duct tape on your passenger door, calling yourself a master mechanic, and then blame next mechanic when the car falls apart.
