I used to read books like Lord of the Rings or watch movies like Star Wars and think the villains were unbelievable. And of course, now watching the tech oligarchs (who could not spend all their money if they tried) destroy civilization for power, I’m like, guess I was wrong. People are that awful.
I think Canada needs to start a visa program for US travelers and require proof of vaccination.

And Peter Attia MD telling Epstein the biggest problem with being his friend is he can’t tell anyone about the life he lives. Nice.
I am enraged by the media, doctors, and politicians who are sane washing RFK Jr and claiming some common ground. Common ground only exists when there are genuinely good intentions, but anti science grifters are not presenting good faith arguments. There is no common ground, only a slippery slope.
Oh look, according to Peter Attia MD “pussy is low carb” something that is totally normal for a doctor to say to Epstein, who had previously been convicted of procuring a child for prostitution
Here is Peter Attia MD emailing Epstein’s assistant claiming he goes into “JE withdrawal” when he doesn’t see him.
Let’s dream up to ways to shit on women. Oh hey, let’s cancel the largest clinical trial ever for women www.science.org/content/arti...
Canada, abortion is the canary in the coal mine. Restricting abortion is a tool of authoritarian regimes. Which party has the forced birth candidates? The conservatives! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
I was expecting this.
Medication will not be safe.
This trip I have asked 3 people playing movies/news/talking on the phone without headphones to wear headphones. Each one seemed genuinely shocked that their noise was disturbing someone. Each one turned their volume off or put on headphones. Small victories in civility.
Dear Canada, Pierre Poilievre is Coming for Your Reproductive Rights vajenda.substack.com/p/dear-canad...
A self-aggrandizing, anti vaccine, raw milk drinking, AIDS denialist who believes he is smart, but is the personification of Dunning-Kruger, and who was called a predator by his cousin is in charge of HHS. It is going to get worse.
Dear Ezra Klein, bodily autonomy is not a bargaining chip. What rights are you willing to give up? Let’s see you walk the talk. The burger is on me. open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

And here is Peter Attia MD arranging to stay at Epstein’s apartment in New York. You know, like most doctors typically do.
So we just work around people with Covid then? Sharing the cafeteria and coming to work with runny noses and take the elevator with people who are immunocompromised? I guess we don’t do public health anymore, just popular health?
This from Dr. Oz is a new fucking low. Also, on a side note, are they looking at bringing back the draft?
Data is mounting that the shingles vaccine is protective against dementia. It's not definitive, but it's interesting. In addition, the effect is more pronounced for women. vajenda.substack.com/p/is-the-shi...
Gutting Medicaid, which many rely on for maternity care and to pay for the NICU (birth weight < 1,200 g), is the most anti fetus, anti-newborn legislation possible.
Canada, you need to be aware this atrocity is coming your way if the Conservatives get a majority.
The Liberals require every candidate to be pro choice, the CPC does not. They are working to make abortion illegal, which everyone should care about because a) it’s a human right and b) eroding abortion access is a step towards fascism.
Holy shit the FDA panel on antidpressants seems wild to me. I am not an expert, but apparently depression is a useless term and that is preventing us from feeling emotional distress. We should experience everything as a signal and learn to pay attention to it.
My counterpoint is we need to stop telling Canadians that the Conservatives will win the next election. That creates apathy and decreases turnout.
