Let's get this show on the road.

Official statement from @JamesTalarico on vegan accusations













CNN: Former President Joe Biden has just announced that he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.



Quick fact check of initial claims in this piece: Gladwell claims RFK J said that the RotaTeq vaccine killed more kids than it saved; However, in RFK Jr's book, The Real Anthony Fauci, his claim is that the clinical trial data show 'no statistically significant reduction in deaths for kids on Rotateq' (from ChatGPT). This claim is accurate (I checked the trials). To counter RFK J claims, Gladwell asks his pharma friend about RotaTeq health outcomes. The friend says health outcomes are "once in a generation" improvements for symptoms (diarrhea). However, RFK J's claim was not about symptoms--it was about mortality (deaths), which are arguably far more important (not whether your kids gets diarrhea but ultimately if they survive). So, the apparent debunking of RFK J was not a debunking. Goal posts were shifted. @RobertKennedyJr
