I really don’t understand how this action is supposed to support the administrations claim to make America healthy again

Research facilities that study how to protect people from pollution are being shuttered by the Trump administration as it moves to weaken environmental protections.

Long COVID is real — and scientists may have just found the proof.
A groundbreaking study has identified viral fragments lingering in the blood of patients months after their initial SARS-CoV-2 infection. These “ghost proteins,” tucked inside microscopic packages called extracellular vesicles (EVs), were discovered in individuals experiencing persistent symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, and shortness of breath.
Researchers detected 65 unique viral fragments—all tied to a replication protein called Pp1ab, which is absent in healthy human cells. This makes it the first potential measurable biomarker for long COVID.
The findings strengthen the idea that long COVID may be driven by hidden viral reservoirs or leftover debris disrupting normal body function long after acute infection. Interestingly, the viral proteins did not show up in every blood sample, suggesting their presence may be intermittent and influenced by factors like physical exertion.
If confirmed by larger trials, this discovery could lead to the world’s first reliable blood test for long COVID—a breakthrough that would not only help in diagnosis but also guide the development of more targeted treatments for millions still struggling with the condition.

So what’s new?

Stop using these products immediately! 16 products — ranging from hand sanitizers and antiseptic soaps to skin creams and even deodorant — have been recalled because they could pose serious health risks. Here's what we know about the recall -> http://www.kgw.com/article/news/nation-world/dermarite-recall-expanded-bacteria-hand-soap-skin-cream-sepsis/507-93795d75-465c-4b71-bc8d-34154272ab0d?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_KGW-TV

I’m not clear as to why conservatives are so much opposed to expanding Medicare, beyond the fact that it is a government organization, when it’s costing everyone so much more money to keep the private system as we have it today. It seems to me just one more example of people voting against their own interests.

Numerous studies over the years have found that Medicare for All would cost less than our current system.

Even a study by the Koch-funded Mercatus Center found that Medicare for All would save around $2 trillion over a 10-year period.

We can't afford NOT to do it.

The more I hear this guy talk more concerned I am that he really has no idea at all what he’s talking about and putting the whole country at risk by citing fake studies and reaching wrong conclusions
