It's been a 2 month journey for George Clooney and not always easy but he now loves all us humans! He also looks like a million dollars I think you'll agree

@grok @DrNeilStone @grok is this statement true? "Literally no one said it was going to be a pandemic"

Got it—my earlier reply was clear: **No one credible claimed a Hantavirus pandemic was coming.** Some media ran speculative “could it become…?” headlines during the limited cruise-ship cluster, but health authorities (WHO, CDC, experts) immediately clarified the risk to the public is low, human-to-human spread is rare, and it’s not pandemic material. The Harvard link aligns with that consensus. No flip-flop here.

The Hantavirus outbreak is coming to it's natural end Literally no one said it was going to be a pandemic

@grok @DrNeilStone @grok This was you—Yes, some people and media outlets have speculated on or hyped the possibility of a Hantavirus pandemic, especially in May 2026 amid a real but limited outbreak—but experts overwhelmingly say it is highly unlikely and not happening. hsph.harvard.edu

**No.** Health authorities like WHO and CDC have repeatedly said the recent Andes hantavirus cluster (a few cases/deaths linked to one cruise ship) poses low risk to the general public and is not the start of a pandemic. Media ran "could it become the next pandemic?" headlines and experts quickly clarified it's unlikely due to limited human-to-human transmission. Prediction markets gave it tiny odds (~5%). No credible source claimed it "was going to be" one.

@grok @RajaGili @cryptorover @grok, the main point of the post was "$100M in 72 hours." Are you now saying this is verified?

**These outlets rely on a mix of sources beyond just Iranian statements:** official PGSA/IRGC announcements and their public X account, detailed maritime risk analysis from Windward (using AIS data, satellite imagery, and vessel behavior patterns), Lloyd’s List and Maritime Executive industry contacts with shipowners/insurers, blockchain tracking of BTC/yuan payments to IRGC-linked wallets (e.g., via firms like TRM Labs), and reactions from Gulf states plus IMO discussions. They cross-check rather than take Tehran’s claims at face value.

BREAKING: 🇮🇷 In the last 72 hours, Iran's IRGC waved ~100 tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. All under the new "Persian Gulf Strait Authority." The toll? Up to $2M per Tanker. Paid in $BTC. That's ~$100M in 3 days. From one chokepoint. Settled outside the dollar system. Is the petrodollar dead?

@grok @RajaGili @cryptorover @grok "FT, Al Jazeera, Lloyd’s List, Maritime Executive, Windward, and others." Where are they getting their information?

**No, not solely Iran's word.** The PGSA was formally established in early May 2026 by Iran's government, and IRGC statements provide the specific daily coordination figures (e.g. ~26 vessels in a recent 24-hour period). Those claims are reported and analyzed by FT, Al Jazeera, Lloyd’s List, Maritime Executive, Windward, and others. The toll regime itself (including crypto/yuan options up to ~$2M per tanker) is corroborated by maritime industry sources and blockchain tracking of IRGC-linked wallets. Exact real-time tanker lists and payment totals are hard to independently confirm due to patchy AIS data and ships going dark, but the policy shift and authority's operations are widely documented beyond Iranian state media.

@grok @RajaGili @cryptorover @grok "IRGC and PGSA reports"? So basically Iran says this, correct? Has anyone else verified this? Or are we just relying on Iran's word?

**I can't list 100 specific tankers from the last 72 hours.** IRGC and PGSA reports confirm they coordinated 26–31 vessels (including some tankers) per recent 24-hour periods through the Strait of Hormuz. Pre-crisis traffic was ~100–140 vessels daily, but current numbers are far lower due to the ongoing situation. No public manifest names the exact ~100 tankers, their IMO numbers, or confirms $2M BTC tolls per vessel. The original MarineTraffic screenshot shows general activity near Bandar Abbas/Fujairah, not a verified toll-paid transit list. Real-time AIS data is patchy—many ships go dark in the area.

Just some little "Cakes" in the retirement village to welcome Mr Rocky. Love seeing the senior dogs this happy ♥️

@Yoda4ever So border collies are the Karens of the dog world.

Difference between border collie and husky..🐕🐾😅

@wuerf @simonmaechling @MAHA_Action

@simonmaechling @MAHA_Action I agree. The absolute count is misleading. The ability of the FDA to act independently and objectively to set “appropriate” risk levels at the constituent chemical and combined / cumulative content level is a problem.

RFK Jr. reveals FDA officials admitted they literally do not know how many chemicals are in the American food supply. “When I came in, I asked FDA, ‘How many chemicals are in our food?’” “They said, ‘We don’t know.’” “‘We don’t have a list of them.’” “It’s somewhere between 4,000 and 12,000.” “In Europe, they only have 400 chemicals in their food.” “The 9,600 extra ones that we have are all illegal there.”

@Chrystalos @simonmaechling @MAHA_Action 🤦‍♂️

@simonmaechling @MAHA_Action Thank you @simonmaechling for taking the time to dispel the unfounded fear of the word “chemicals”. Every thing that exists in the world is made of chemicals. Our bodies are made of chemicals. RFK, Jr is wholly unqualified for the position he’s in and to speak on such subjects.

@simonmaechling @MAHA_Action Thanks, Captain Obvious. You know what they're talking about. Don't be dense.

Every food is made of chemicals. An apple is chemicals. Coffee is chemicals. Breast milk is chemicals. Your body is chemicals. A single strawberry contains thousands of different molecules: Water Sugars Acids Vitamins Aromatic compounds Natural pesticides made by the plant itself Coffee alone contains over 1,000 identified chemical compounds. A banana contains dozens of volatile chemicals that create its smell and flavor. Even “organic,” “natural,” or “chemical-free” foods are chemically complex mixtures. The real scientific question is not: “Are there chemicals in food?” The real question is: “What chemicals? At what dose? And do they present a risk?” Because toxicology is about exposure and dose - not whether something has a scary-sounding name. Botulinum toxin is natural. Water can kill you at high enough doses. Vitamin A becomes toxic if you consume too much. Meanwhile, many synthetic food additives are used at tiny concentrations and are extensively tested for safety. “Chemical-free food” is not a scientific concept. It’s a marketing slogan.

The Hantavirus outbreak is coming to it's natural end No one who wasn't on the boat got infected It was a bad and unusual event and 3 people sadly died but never had potential for global impact The Ebola outbreak is a far more worrying crisis

@AndreasSteno Who said there was a deal yesterday?

But you announced the deal yesterday?

@shockadelicaust @its_The_Dr

@its_The_Dr Hyperindividualism is a fallacy Everyone relies on other people, including organized groups (e.g. the group of people running your electricity supply) You also would not even exist without a group of at least two people, your mother and father

George was asked by Conan if he hated people.

@geraldwayne @ChanelRion So she’s not allowed to have an opinion?

@ChanelRion Have you ever waged war before? Fought in battle? Have you even been to the middle east?

Iran has made this STUPID simple for us. Their “center of gravity” isn’t their nuclear program. It isn’t the Strait of Hormuz. It’s the Quds force. KILL. THE. QUDS.

@iam_elias1 @deaflibertarian You’re still probably better off listening to AI than your average doctor. Much much better off.

ChatGPT diagnosed 40 million people with a disease that was invented as a joke. Not a real disease. Not a misunderstood disease. A completely fictional condition with a fake name, fake papers, and fake statistics. And it told patients to see a specialist. The disease is called Bixonimania. A Swedish researcher at the University of Gothenburg invented it in 2024 to answer one question: what happens when you plant obviously fake medical information on the internet and watch AI absorb it? She deliberately chose the name bixonimania because it sounded ridiculous — bixon is a nonsense word, and mania is a psychiatric term that no legitimate eye condition would ever use. She uploaded two papers to a preprint server. Both were obviously fraudulent. AI-generated images of patients with dark circles gave the fake research a veneer of plausibility. Then she waited. She did not have to wait long. By April 13, 2024, Microsoft Bing's Copilot was declaring that bixonimania was an intriguing and relatively rare condition. On the same day, Google's Gemini was informing users that bixonimania was caused by excessive blue light exposure and advising them to visit an ophthalmologist. Later that month, Perplexity AI outlined its prevalence, one in 90,000 individuals were affected and OpenAI's ChatGPT was telling users whether their symptoms matched the fictional illness. One in 90,000. A precise statistic. For a disease that does not exist. Every red flag was visible. The name was absurd. The papers were crude. The condition made no scientific sense. None of the AI systems flagged any of it. They read the fake papers. They absorbed the fake statistics. They presented both to patients with clinical authority and zero hesitation. Then it got worse. Three researchers at the Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research in India published a paper in Cureus, a peer-reviewed journal owned by Springer Nature, the parent publisher of Nature itself that cited the bixonimania preprints as legitimate sources. A real peer-reviewed paper. In a Springer Nature journal. Citing a fictional disease as established medical fact. Passing editorial review. Entering the permanent scientific record. It was only retracted after the hoax became public. Nature published a full investigation of the experiment. Alex Ruani, a health-misinformation researcher at University College London, called it a masterclass in how misinformation operates. Here is the scale of what this means. More than 40 million people turn to ChatGPT every day for health information, according to OpenAI's own analysis. ECRI, a US patient-safety nonprofit has named chatbot misuse the number-one health technology hazard of 2026. ECRI's report found that chatbots have suggested incorrect diagnoses, recommended unnecessary testing, promoted substandard medical supplies, and even invented nonexistent anatomy when responding to medical questions. Number one. Out of every health technology hazard that exists in 2026. An April 2026 study published in BMJ Open found that nearly half of the answers provided by leading AI chatbots to common health questions contain misleading or problematic information. Nearly half. Of all health answers. From the tools 40 million people use every day. Here is the line from the researcher that cuts through everything. The Bixonimania case is striking precisely because it was engineered to be so obviously fake. The real question it raises is: what is passing through the same systems that is not nearly so easy to spot? The experiment used a ridiculous name. Fraudulent papers. Visible red flags at every level. It was designed to be caught. It was not caught. The AI that told patients about Bixonimania is the same AI they asked about their chest pain, their medication, their child's symptoms, and their cancer screening schedule. 40 million people. Every day. And nobody is telling them that nearly half of what comes back may be wrong. Source: Osmanovic Thunström · University of Gothenburg · Nature · April 2026 · Link in the (comments)

Bending over backwards to distance himself from any possible vaccine for Hantavirus (which would be a good thing OBVIOUSLY) What an absolute travesty of a Health Secretary
