The buffalo weren’t getting slaughtered by the billion, shipped across the world, or raised on monocropped soy in methane-choked feedlots.
They roamed, grazed, died, and decomposed in functioning ecosystems not industrial supply chains built to maximize profit and emissions.
You’re not making a point. You’re just reminding everyone what happens when you read Joe Rogan quotes instead of actual science.

Testicular cancer was fatal in ~95% of cases before cisplatin was developed in the 1970s.

Today, survival exceeds 95%, even when cancer has metastasized.

That’s thanks to:
Chemotherapies
Scientific research
Biopharmaceutical therapies
Evidence-based medicine

Defining “woman” through biology is not regressive. It’s scientifically accurate.

What’s regressive is thinking women can be reduced to culturally-defined roles, stereotypes, caricatures, and feelings.

[Andrea C. Love, PhD @dr_andrealove]

Vaccines don’t cause autism.
Neither do random “toxic chemicals” that RFK Jr, David Geier, and others claim.

The biggest predictor of autism?
GENETICS.

We have millions of data points across decades that show this.

I can’t figure out Joe, I made a low-cost, patent-free Covid vaccine for the world reached 100 million people, saved 300,000-500,000 lives while he pushed ivermectin, does nothing when he could have saved lives. Overweight? Here’s recent pics, including with my pretty wife Ann

Britains’s Jonathan Pie just completely went off on Trump’s stupidity.

BREAKING: In an unbelievable moment, Republican Senator Thom Tillis breaks away harshly from Trump's policy on Ukraine, calling Vladimir Putin "a cancer, and the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime."

Make sure everyone sees this.

Men are entitled to their own spaces, just as women are, though sex segregation in private spaces is fundamentally about protecting women from men, and not the other way around, due to biological differences.

Women claiming to be men are not being transferred into men's prisons. Women pretending to be male are not winning at men's sports.

But Matt is conflating public spaces with private spaces. He's conflating gentlemen's clubs with changing rooms and rape crisis centers.

Public male-only spaces have historically been halls of power, not restrooms - which is why so often such places didn't even have women's toilets built into them.

Completely incorrect

Vaccines are not "all or nothing"

A vaccine that changes a deadly infection to a mild infection is a great vaccine!

Not a difficult concept

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Because of conventional medicine

-Your mother didn't die in childbirth
-You didn't get polio as a kid
-You've never seen smallpox
-Your friend with type 1 diabetes is alive because of of insulin
-You recovered from that infection because of antibiotics

Science saves lives

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Rates of of autism are the same in unvaccinated kids as in vaccinated kids.

So vaccines aren't the cause.

There.

I've saved RFK Jr a lot of time and effort.

Paul Alexander is one of the last people living in an iron lung after he contracted polio in 1952 at the age of six. He has been using the iron lung for over 70 years and has become an advocate for polio awareness and the importance of vaccines.

The iron lung, also known as a negative pressure ventilator, is a large horizontal cylinder designed to stimulate breathing in patients who have lost control of their respiratory muscles. The patient's head is exposed outside the cylinder, while the body is sealed inside. Air pressure inside the cylinder is cycled to facilitate inhalation and exhalation.

In the mid-20th century, iron lungs were widely used to treat patients with polio, a highly contagious viral disease that can cause paralysis and respiratory failure. However, with the development of the polio vaccine in the 1950s and 1960s, the incidence of polio decreased dramatically, and the use of iron lungs became less common.

Today, there are only a handful of people in the world who still rely on iron lungs for their survival. Paul Alexander is one of them, and his story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of vaccination and the impact that polio has had on the lives of many people.
