The Los Angeles County Public Health Officer wants everyone to know that while they’ve identified three cases of the more virulent strain of Monkeypox (MPOX), “At this time, no clear link has been identified between the cases.” More like we can’t say what the link is cuz reasons.

A growing number of states have decided to turn their backs on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ vaccine recommendations in rebellion against recent changes to the membership of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), and to the childhood vaccine schedule under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. These states, mostly blue, demand the right … Read more
This week on NE Take, AJ is joined by Dr. Jason Aziz, Director of Health Economics at the New Hampshire Insurance Department and Adjunct Lecturer at The Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University.

Democrats got pissy (by which I mean the Handmaiden media) when the Federal agency tasked with public health safety rejected a combo-vaccine because, based on their expert opinion, the way we’ve been doing it was safer. The MMRV combo is still acceptable for kids four years and older, but based on the available research, they … Read more
The US Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been undermining public health for decades. Still, a majority of Americans would have never noticed if not for the response to COVID. No one should trust their judgment or guidance, and the Trump Administration has tasked Robert F. … Read more
I knew there were providers offering medical health care services for cash at a discount because it removed all the middlemen. It was you, the doctor, and the service. What I did not know, until recently, was that there is something called Direct Primary Care. Same idea, easy-to-understand name, but it can operate like a … Read more
Increased consumer awareness of dietary health and the benefits of so-called whole foods has led to a higher demand for less processed food choices.

Every late July to August, we see spikes in reported cases of the flu and a rise in deaths attributed to it.
You can screen a room quickly by asking who calls it the COVID vaccine and who calls it what it is—the COVID Jab, the clot shot, the vaxx, CoVax, jab jab, the shot, fake jab, poison jab, Fauci flu shot, kung flu jab, kill shot, death vaxx, genocide jab, gener therapy, and so on. The … Read more
This week, Gov. Ayotte signed into law HB 701, a critical right-to-try expansion bill aimed at making New Hampshire the leading legal jurisdiction in the nation for dying patients seeking access to promising experimental treatments.

Twelve states have obtained USDA approval to prohibit Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits from being used on soda and other “junk” foods.
Robert F Kennedy Jr.’s clarion for children’s health struck a bipartisan political nerve when he declared in his MAHA message on August 23, 2024, “We need to love our children more than we hate each other.” One year later, the MAHA mission is still gaining force. Diverse allies continue to rally around food and farming issues, and … Read more
Pharmaceutical Companies and their friends in the media are stressing out some more about public confidence in vaccines. That RFK Jr. guy and the folks running the agencies he oversees keep chattering about drug safety. Ensuring the “vaccines” they make do something close to what is advertised with little or no harm. The vax or … Read more
Two weeks ago, the ‘Grok finally caught up with the outrageous nonsense coming from (mostly) the left over the “measles outbreak.” Measles Schmeazles brought some facts and a bit of snark to the debate, not the least of which was if the vaccine works, what’s your kid got to worry about. That and actual case … Read more
Last December, we reported on an emergency meeting in Warren, New Hampshire, to discuss the extortion payment being demanded by a local private ambulance service covering Warren and Wenworth. That was to cover service until this past March. It’s July, and the operation shuttered its doors after the few remaining employees (everyone else had been … Read more
One of the more clever things the Trump Administration did when it took the reins from whoever was in charge (still subject to debate) was to retool a mobile app launched by the Biden Administration. CBP One was deployed to allow “migrants” seeking asylum to set up appointments for screening. Translation: How do I get … Read more
Helping people with eating disorders is a laudable goal, but there remain unknown health risks associated with a clutch of new weight loss drugs, and significant costs.

The University of Sydney caps doctoral theses at 80,000 words (excluding references). The theory is that external reviewers don’t want to read more than that (true!). One can apply to the Dean to increase the word limit to 100,000, which is what I did. But my doctoral thesis, as initially written, was closer to 140,000 words. So … Read more
Update: The cargo vessel has now been abandoned. And while no cause has been officially assigned, the lithium batteries are the prime suspect. Photographs show the vessel still smoking hundreds of miles from the nearest coastline days after the initial distress signal was received. Thick columns of smoke can be seen billowing into the sky. Incredibly, all … Read more
