"In his first public testimony since stepping down from [U.S.] government office at the end of 2022, Dr. Anthony Fauci on Monday fended off a variety of attacks from Republican politicians at a fiery hearing called to discuss lessons learned during the pandemic."

NBC News reports: "Fauci has emerged as one of the people most vilified by supporters of former President Donald Trump, with many blaming him for the pandemic based on a wide array of false or misleading claims. Calls to prosecute Fauci for unspecified crimes have become common on the right."

'A Conservative minister whose family farms beef & lamb signed off on a £5m advertising campaign encouraging people to eat more red meat – despite government advice that doing so can pose health risks'.... nothing to see here.

No corruption, no skewed govt. spending to hep out Minister's families, no manipulation of health advice.... nope, noting to see here at all.

Democratic members of the select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic defended Dr. Anthony ahead of Monday's hearing about the response, policies & transparency.

The representatives blasted ’ claims of Fauci’s involvement in starting [for real they had to say this] or covering up the pandemic as a “dangerous” & “cartoonish” narrative.

“The Select subcmte has become an echo chamber of narratives intended to vilify our nation's ofcls. Rather than tackling forward-looking reforms to strengthen public data collection, improve future testing & contact tracing capacity or address the inequities that we laid bare by the , our majority colleagues have spent time & dollars fishing for evidence to back up their most extreme members’ claims about Dr. Fauci,” said Rep Raul Ruiz.

"For decades, scientists have known the flames from a gas stovetop produce nitrogen dioxide, a pungent gas that can inflame a person’s lungs when inhaled. But for the first time, a team of researchers from Stanford University and Oakland-based research institute PSE Healthy Energy published a nationwide estimate of the long-term health consequences associated with cooking with natural gas and propane stoves."

Dying of Whiteness (Boston Review)
Jonathan M. Metzl, 2019

"Trevor voiced a literal willingness to die for his place in this hierarchy, rather than participate in a system that might put him on the same plane as immigrants or racial minorities."

"a dominant strain of the electorate voted in politicians whose platforms of American greatness were built on embodied forms of demise."

Most people who use tobacco start in childhood – and tobacco marketers are keeping it that way.

Online advertising featuring bright colors, cartoon figures and promotions by social media influencers entice adolescents to try tobacco, especially in the new form of vapes and e-cigarettes, and in countries where cigarette advertising to kids hasn’t been banned (and sadly, these tactics continue to work all too well).
