An Open Letter to ZDoggMD | Science-Based Medicine
Dear. ZDoggMD, During a recent social media kerfuffle, you referred to yourself as “arguably the biggest advocate for vaccination on social media”. Indeed, you’ve hosted credible individuals like Dr. Paul Offit who spoke eloquently on the dangers COVID-19 poses to children and how the vaccine can prevent these harms. You posted a video of your own daughter getting vaccinated.
‘Shark Tank’-funded food sensitivity test is medically dubious, experts say
This EverlyWell service which is saturating TV screens with ads lately looks like it is another Theranos story. In other words the medical practicality of the test is dubious at best according to medical professionals. In other words don’t waste your money. From the article: (The emphasis is mine)
—“But what EverlyWell describes as one of its best-sellers — a test for food sensitivity — is of dubious medical value, according to experts interviewed by STAT. The $199 test promises to use a fingerprick’s worth of blood to gauge whether a person’s immune system is active against 96 common foods, including asparagus, garlic, and eggs.

Think about it; a world map shows Greenland as this giant landmass the size of South America when really it’s quite tiny, comparatively speaking. Then there is the Mongolian Empire, a massive region conquering of over nine million square miles.

Why Leftists Should Embrace Our Proud History, from Thomas Paine to the New Deal ❧ Current Affairs
Historian Harvey J. Kaye has long argued that leftists are too negative about American history, and that our focus on its horrors and miseries risks downplaying the other side of the story: the great radicals in every generation who have fought, and often died, to make the country better, and whose legacy (and unfulfilled mission) we inherit.
