Couple that with America's embrace of ignorance, what a toxic stew

mRNA vaccines to treat and prevent cancers about to enter trials.

Man that was the dream when the covid vaccine passed testing and was so safe. We should be able to cure cancer in our lifetime.

That is the kind of research I heartily endorse.

Yeah, but at least vaping is good for us now.

WASHINGTON—A frustrated President Trump over the weekend upbraided Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary for not moving quickly enough to approve flavored vapes and nicotine products, according to people familiar with the discussions.

In a series of weekend calls while in Florida and conversations at the White House on Monday, Trump sought advice from his advisers about Makary and the importance of flavored vaping to young MAGA voters, the people said.
