Mauricio Pochettino has the ability to connect the #USMNT with Hispanic Americans more than ever.
I spoke to @Brvndonv, @AndresCantorGOL and @herculezg (among others) about this new era for those who consume the game in Spanish.

@ElieJarrougeMD @RobertKennedyJr 83 dead Samoan children triggers me.

@MonkeeBread @RobertKennedyJr You don’t need to announce but since you did, you should wonder why common sense questions trigger you.

Vaccines 💉: Questions that need answers and I trust that @RobertKennedyJr will make it happen.
Vaccine hesitancy is on the rise, even after decades of widespread campaigns. Why? Could it stem from concerns about safety, efficacy, or a lack of transparency in reporting adverse events?
Most medications require years of rigorous safety trials before approval. So why do many vaccines rely on shorter studies? Shouldn’t vaccines, especially those given to healthy people, be held to the same long-term scrutiny?
Then there’s the issue of liability. Vaccines are one of the only medical products with manufacturer immunity. Does this unique protection build public trust—or undermine it?
Why are some vaccines universally recommended, even when individual risks for the disease are low? Wouldn’t a more personalized approach foster greater trust and better outcomes?
And what about the institutional push? Vaccines are the only medical intervention routinely given to healthy people, sometimes with life-altering side effects. Could financial incentives, rather than patient well-being, be driving this urgency?
Finally, why is vaccine skepticism so often met with dismissal rather than open, honest scientific discussion? Could suppressing these conversations be fueling distrust rather than resolving legitimate concerns?
These are not anti-science questions—they are pro-transparency ones. If we want to restore trust, we must start by addressing these issues openly and honestly.
Personally, I will never take another vaccine or give my future children any vaccines until these questions are addressed and public trust is restored. That doesn’t make me anti-vaccine; it makes me pro-safe and effective vaccines, anti-recklessness, pro-science, pro-transparency, and pro-common sense.

@AnonymouzX3 @ElieJarrougeMD @RobertKennedyJr I’m not anti-science. Not at all.
I have appreciated this Elie’s work on low carb nutrition.
But I am anti the 83 dead Samoan children because of what RFK Jr. did.

@MonkeeBread @ElieJarrougeMD @RobertKennedyJr Way to be anti-science. Skepticism is part of science without it there is no innovation.

@NJMonitor @NikitaBiryukov_ It is the job of a Congressman to appropriate dollars.
He’s had eight years in Congress to send money back to NJ and he hasn’t done it.
Now he’s gonna do it as governor when it is congress’ job?

@TremleyNJ @njdotcom No way.
Indians and Indian-Americans enrich our country in so many ways.
It is so great that they choose to come here.

@ElieJarrougeMD @RobertKennedyJr All they can focus on is anti vaccine. There's so much more to the broken health system
English

Why are the people in power so afraid of @RobertKennedyJr? Have YOU also been brainwashed to see him as the villain?
Ask yourself:
1. Shouldn’t federal health agencies like the FDA, CDC, and NIH be transparent and free from corporate influence? These institutions are meant to protect public health, yet they often seem more aligned with corporate interests than with the people they serve. Wouldn’t we all benefit from an overhaul to restore integrity and accountability?
2. Why is pharmaceutical advertising on TV still allowed? These ads don’t just push unnecessary medications—they also control the media by providing billions in ad revenue. How can we expect honest reporting on health issues when networks rely on Big Pharma’s money to stay afloat?
3. Don’t we deserve dietary guidelines that prioritize real, whole foods over the ultra-processed junk that contributes to obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases? Why are we being told to cut back on natural, nutrient-dense foods like meat, while subsidized processed foods dominate our supermarkets?
4. Shouldn’t we work to remove harmful chemicals like endocrine disruptors, pesticides, herbicides, artificial dyes, and others, from our environment and consumer products? These substances are linked to rising rates of infertility, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. Why isn’t there more urgency to protect the public from these toxins?
5. And when it comes to vaccines, wouldn’t it make sense to advocate for informed choice and rigorous safety studies? If they are as safe and effective as claimed, what’s wrong with making the process more transparent and ensuring public trust?
If these ideas seem like common sense—and they clearly prioritize the health and well-being of Americans—why is RFK Jr. met with such hostility? What are his critics so afraid of? Could it be that his proposals threaten the profits and power of those who’ve benefited from a sick and uninformed population?
The real question isn’t about RFK Jr.’s ideas—it’s about what those opposing him are trying so desperately to protect.

@joob @ElieJarrougeMD I will not.
Elie is smearing the people who prepare us for hurricanes, who protect us from air pollution, who make up our military, who protect workers from exploitation, who safely organize airplane departures and arrivals, who run our national parks, etc.
It’s not just HHS.

@MonkeeBread @ElieJarrougeMD You repost Liz Cheney. Maybe sit this one out.

All the old farts in the U.S. government who are criticizing the new generation of soon-to-be leaders in the government, and are calling them reckless or dangerous, need to retire to a beach somewhere, play Bingo, and eventually transition to nursing homes. This fear-mongering suggests they might be afraid of what could be uncovered or declassified that would make them wish they died first.

@LuistalksUnion @thegoalkeeper This is completely uncalled for.
@thegoalkeeper works his behind off to provide more soccer coverage than one could ever dream of.
Get a grip.

I asked Jay Sugarman directly about the perception that the Union care more about developing players than winning.
His answer is here, including a video where you can see his reaction.
As usual, nobody reads my stuff, but if you want to this once…
