All chemotherapy agents are also well known to cause cancer, so much that you have to have special training as a nurse to handle them, special hazardous disposal, and lifelong monitoring for other cancers after completing treatment. So I feel like this shouldn't be that surprising to anyone.

My grandmother with Alzheimer's passed those clinical tests long after she had already asked us to take away her keys because she knew she wasn't safe to drive anymore. So yeah...

Fascists deliberately create chaos so they can try to sell you the idea that they're the only ones who can end the chaos.

Honestly? Congress. Your Congresspeople need to hear how bad things really are with these companies before they'll bother to do anything about it

This is not something I had ever thought about before and I am also fascinated.

Republican obstruction and wanton destruction is responsible for the lack of progress. Refusing Medicaid expansions and then overturning the individual mandate is what gutted the plan.

And sure you could jump right into single payer without any incremental change. But you're going to put the 400,000 Americans currently working in the health insurance industry out of work, if you do that. Which is not a small consideration. (That's per a CBO analysis of the feasibility of single payer, which does conclude it would save money, but it will require a massive work transition.)

That was during wartime and it was a court martial. Courts martial are still notoriously harsher than civil courts today.

This is exactly why the billionaires are dismantling the current social media platforms. Organizing is the only threat they truly fear.

As a Registered Nurse who is receiving actually successful medical treatments for ME/CFS from a big Boston hospital, thank you for sharing this.

"Worrell suffers from a rare form of lymphoma and said he was afraid the cancer treatment he’d get during a long prison sentence could allow the disease to kill him. He said he did take a number of pills just before he was recaptured and had opioids in his system.

“I acted out of severe mental anguish and very genuine fear for my life,” he said. “I am truly sorry and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.”"

Had opioids in his system, suffers from an actual other medical condition, also probably a psych eval. That could easily take five days.
