@jeromekelly @Luizmd You are right, Jerry. The original post is classic virus denial nonsense (“no viruses exist, only detox”) paired with mockery of the WHO. That’s a mishmash of incoherent pseudoscience.

@jeromekelly @uTobian Zero senators have died from Covid shots. Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence — none provided.

“Not one carbohydrate is essential for life.”

That’s a biochemistry flex—not a health argument.

Yes, your body can make glucose. Congratulations. You can also survive on protein powder and multivitamins. That’s not a diet—that’s a rescue plan.

Now let’s talk about people who don’t just survive—they live longer.

Look at the Seventh-day Adventists. Look at the Mediterranean diet. Look at the Blue Zones.

They’re not avoiding carbs.

They’re built on them.

Beans. Lentils. Whole grains. Vegetables.
Fiber—lots of it.

And here’s the problem for the low-carb crowd: fiber only comes from carbohydrates. No fiber, no healthy microbiome. No healthy microbiome, no long-term metabolic health. That’s not ideology—that’s data.

Low-carb influencers love the word “essential” because it sounds scientific. But it’s a distraction. Air isn’t “essential” in a textbook definition if I can put you on a ventilator. Try living that way.

So yes—carbohydrates aren’t “essential” if your goal is to avoid dying today.

But if your goal is to avoid heart disease, cancer, and metabolic collapse over decades—then every high-quality dataset points the same direction:

Carbohydrate-rich, fiber-heavy diets win.

And the thing they tell you to eat more of?
Saturated fat.

That one actually is non-essential—and strongly linked to the diseases shortening lives.

So no—carbs aren’t required to keep you alive.

They’re just consistently present in the diets of people who don’t die early.

@CatfishFishy Tokenized deposits (stable-like) still need neutral bridges for thin corridors or multi-currency flows — that’s where XRP + XRPL (with RLUSD) shines as the on-demand connector, not just a “gas token.” Stablecoins and tokenized fiat complement XRP; they don’t erase the bridge need

[BennyD-XRP @BDxrp]

@CatfishFishy Swift’s tokenized deposits are bullish validation for the exact use case XRP was built for: efficient 24/7 cross-border liquidity.

[BennyD-XRP @BDxrp]

@TheWyteRabbit1 This is classic anti-vax content that inverts protective associations and hypes limitations of one study. Flu shots aren’t perfect (effectiveness varies yearly), but the dementia claim is backwards, and overall benefits for older adults are well-supported.

[BennyD-XRP @BDxrp]

@ChainLinkGod XRP has proven volume in payments; calling it a “bank-themed memecoin” ignores the bridge role that stablecoins complement, not replace. Different projects, same space—hate doesn’t change on-chain reality.

[BennyD-XRP @BDxrp]

@ChainLinkGod XRP holders benefit from network utility/demand (bridge liquidity, XRPL activity), not direct equity. Sponsoring a university (Brad’s alma mater) is standard marketing, not “memecoin pumping.”

@mxw1n @KUAthletics Says the shit brain.

@ABridgen This guy isn’t credible. He lies and misleads.

[BennyD-XRP @BDxrp]

@jeromekelly @Luizmd “PCR detects genetic material of pathogens (like viruses) to diagnose infections. It powered medicine long before 2020. Denying viruses exists doesn’t change that.”

[BennyD-XRP @BDxrp]

@SdMan09 @FightOnRusty A healthy Thanos would put up similar numbers IMO.

[BennyD-XRP @BDxrp]

@Coroniverse @jeromekelly @uTobian Amish lifestyle has many health advantages (low obesity, strong community, less processed food), but they also have higher rates of certain genetic disorders and lower life expectancy in some metrics.

[BennyD-XRP @BDxrp]

@Coroniverse @jeromekelly @uTobian Claiming the Amish, Anthroposophists, and John Birch Society ‘got it right’ on COVID is peak non-falsifiable cope.

[BennyD-XRP @BDxrp]

@jeromekelly @uTobian Basic public health measures (sanitation, vaccines for smallpox/polio) dramatically increased lifespans. Reform the broken ones, don’t burn everything down, that’s how we end up worse off.

[BennyD-XRP @BDxrp]

@jeromekelly @uTobian Pretty much every institution has flaws and capture issues, but claiming all are equally ‘discredited’ is too broad. NASA put humans on the Moon and rovers on Mars. The FAA keeps air travel extraordinarily safe.

[BennyD-XRP @BDxrp]

@Truth79258056 @NBAWAY0FFS It has to be a joke. There’s no way that guy could play in the NBA.

[BennyD-XRP @BDxrp]

@jeromekelly @Wulf6Wulf @uTobian The FDA has real problems with capture and overreach, but pretending a world without competent regulation would be better ignores the history of pre-FDA disasters and the current supplement industry’s quality issues. Better to push for real reform than tear it down.

[BennyD-XRP @BDxrp]

@jeromekelly @Wulf6Wulf @uTobian Countries with weak or absent effective drug regulation (think many developing markets) have far higher rates of contaminated medicines, counterfeit drugs, and outright dangerous products on the market.
