Something Not a Vaccine

 Well-known right-wing conspiracy buff Harvard School of Public Health:

When children are exposed to acetaminophen—also known by the brand name Tylenol or as paracetamol—during pregnancy, they may be more likely to develop neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) including autism and ADHD, according to a new study.

The study was published August 14 in BMC Environmental Health. Andrea Baccarelli, dean of the faculty at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and professor of environmental health, was senior author. The study was led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and also included co-authors from other institutions.

The researchers analyzed results from 46 previous studies worldwide that investigated the potential link between prenatal acetaminophen use and subsequent NDDs in children. The researchers used the Navigation Guide Systematic Review methodology—a gold-standard framework for synthesizing and evaluating environmental health data—which enabled them to conduct a rigorous, comprehensive analysis that supported evidence of an association between acetaminophen exposure during pregnancy and increased incidence of NDDs.

The dramatic rise in ADHD and autism suddenly has an explanation.

Hearing Loss and Dementia

 Rep. Russ Fulcher

Dear Rep. Fulcher:

 

This may seem like an odd request in a time when we are already trying to reduce spending to solve our deficits, but I suspect this may actually reduce net spending.  At least it deserves examination as a possible strategy for reducing both spending and suffering.

In the last few years, scientists studying hearing loss have found evidence that hearing loss causes dementia.[1]  Medicare and Medicaid do not currently cover hearing aids.  If covering hearing aids reduces Alzheimer’s this would likely reduce health care costs currently covered by Medicare and Medicaid.

Is covering hearing aids a net gain for government healthcare costs?  I am not sure, but it seems like it deserves examination.

 

Very Truly Yours,

Clayton E. Cramer

Of course, I sent to Senators Risch and Crapo as well.

The Real Test of a Society is How It Treats Its Most Vulnerable Members

8/6/22 Guardian:

"Archie Battersbee, the 12-year-old boy whose parents fought a long-running legal battle to prevent his life support treatment from being removed, has died, his mother has said.

Speaking outside the Royal London hospital, Hollie Dance said he had “fought right until the very end”.

Speaking through tears, she said: “In sadness, Archie passed at 12.15pm today. I would just like to say I am the proudest mum in the world.

“He was such a beautiful little boy. He fought right until the very end and I am so proud to be his mum.”

“His stats remained completely stable for two hours until they completely removed ventilation and he went completely blue,” she said.

“There is absolutely nothing dignified about watching a family member or a child suffocate. No family should ever have to go through what we have been through – it is barbaric.”

When children including those not born, the developmentally delayed, the disabled, the elderly, the weak are simply lumps of flesh to be disposed of because your very humane health care system needs a bed, a society has gone fully pagan.

Such a society deserves neither respect, obedience, or taxes.  It is too much like T4 project.
