The COVID circus exposed how broken both the government and healthcare are, and to their credit, some states are attempting to address the wrongs and stop them from recurring. But it is a piecemeal process. Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine are so well tested and safe that they ought to be over the counter, but even if … Read more
The Boston Herald is reporting that, A cluster of nurses at Newton-Wellesley Hospital have reportedly been diagnosed with brain tumors, according to hospital officials who are assuring staff and patients that there’s “no environmental risk” at the facility.

I just looked at an event flyer for the 2025 Greater Nashua Public Health Week Kickoff Event on Monday 4/7. When Grokster Beth Scaer showed it to me, her caption said, “It’s the third year in a row that they have moved the kickoff inside after I attended the kickoff on the city hall plaza … Read more
Five years ago, politicians and bureaucrats went berserk and pointlessly ravaged Americans’ freedom. The Covid-19 pandemic provided the pretext to destroy hundreds of thousands of businesses, padlock churches, close down schools, and effectively place hundreds of millions of Americans under house arrest. Despite all the forced sacrifices, most Americans contracted covid and more than a … Read more
It’s been two years (August, 2023) since the local ABC affiliate published anything related to Long COVID. The state’s largest newspaper, the Union Leader, published a piece on January 9th (but little else of value) based on a study from the NH Fiscal Policy Institute (also a suspect source). Besides that, it is not a … Read more

In the Granite State, a “medical facility” within 15 miles of a critical care hospital needs the permission of that hospital to … Read more
Two years ago this week, we warned legislators that a day of reckoning was coming for Medicaid. “Any discussion of expanding Medicaid coverage or eligibility should start with the understanding that current spending levels are unsustainable, and increasing those levels just accelerates the date of reckoning,” we wrote. With Congress looking to make $2 trillion in … Read more
With a nod to Marxism’s goal of breaking everything, trust in public health, hospitals, and medicine is at an all-time low. The response to SARS CoV2 fractured public confidence, and while there’s room for a discussion about whether that was the point or just a helpful artifact, that ship has sailed. The triad of hospitals, … Read more
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced it will limit nicotine levels in cigarettes to stem addiction and consequent health problems. The formal FDA rule has not been released, yet the implications of this regulatory shift are dizzyingly myriad. Individual liberties, black market diversion, and the odd contrast between food and cigarette labeling and … Read more
It seems that the State has decided that they need to move mental and medical clinics into your child’s school. Why even parent your children? It appears as if the State, in conjunction with school officials, will happily take over your job. There is no need to take your child to see their doctor during … Read more
Three days ago, we shared a report regarding a woman who was refused a kidney transplant by Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) because she did not meet their immunization requirements. No COVID jab, specifically. Shannon, the patient, did not want to but bucked to the pressure and got one shot, but that was not enough. … Read more
The USDA is revising its nutrition guidelines – some say in the wrong direction. Critics of past federal guidelines that favored high carbohydrate diets and were compromised by industrial food producers are closely scrutinizing the new regulations because they advocate “reducing focus on chronic disease risk reduction” and more on “improving the lifespan.” This oxymoronic … Read more
Since Election Day, the Trump transition has been copying and pasting the same quote again and again into emails to reporters seeking comment on this or that presidential appointment. “President-Elect Trump will begin making decisions on who will serve in his second Administration soon,” Trump transition spokesperson Karoline Leavitt always writes without fail. “Those decisions … Read more
Expected lifespans are plateauing worldwide, suggesting that life-extending advances in medicine, food safety, and plumbing may have gone as far as they can to preserve humanity’s ability to prolong the inevitable. This news dampens techno-mystical fantasies of using science to achieve immortality and slip the surly bonds of death. Yet this is old news for … Read more
Obesity continues to skyrocket in the United States, according to a new CDC report on the prevalence of severe diabetes. The number of women with the condition is increasing at a faster rate than men; women are nearly twice as likely to be severely obese.

Those “Got Covid, Paxlovid” commercials that began carpet-bombing your airwaves (after the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” lie was no longer sustainable) promised symptom relief. If that PCR test that was not designed for it showed positive (they insisted it had to be COVID), Pfizer had a thing you could take that could reduce symptoms and … Read more
If you are thinking about pursuing healthcare jobs in California, you will need a high tolerance for rules, regulations, car theft, taxes, sidewalk poop, tyrannical bureaucracies, the homeless, crime, discarded needles, and screeching liberal harpies. Oh, and hunger-like affection for carcinogens, hypoxia, and microplastics. Public Health officials in several Left-Coast counties have reinstituted mask mandate, … Read more
