WHEN THE PUBLIC HEALTH ESTABLISHMENT WRECKED ITS CREDIBILITY FOR A GENERATION:

PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT WILL LIKELY CONCLUDE THEY HAVE TO PURGE THE LEFT OUT OF SELF-DEFENSE: Paul Krugman’s Deranged Call to Purge America of MAGA Is Scarier Than You Think. “Unfortunately, as much as we would like to think it is a mere rhetorical flourish, it is not one at all. If you think that Democrats aren’t serious when they propose what sound like insane measures, just remember what they did during COVID, what they are doing with alphabet ideology (literally sterilizing and mutilating kids and putting sex offenders into girls’ locker rooms), and what they did to President Trump before his reelection. . . . If you don’t know what that means exactly, let me tell you: outlawing political parties, rooting out supporters of the political cause you want to purge, removing academics, doctors, and other professionals associated with the movement, and banning them all from public life. It is Ursula von der Leyen’s wet dream when it comes to AfD. There were also, of course, trials and executions for the top-level malefactors.”

GOOD, THAT KNOCKED ME OFF STATINS: A Painful Side Effect of Statins Explained After Decades of Mystery. “For millions of people, statins are a daily shield against heart disease. But around 10 percent of those who take statins to lower cholesterol experience a mysterious, painful side effect that causes many to discontinue these potentially life-saving medicines. Scientists have recently found one possible reason why. Research from Columbia University and the University of Rochester in the US revealed a potential culprit: a tiny calcium gate inside muscle cells that statins may force open. The resulting calcium leak can damage muscle tissue, offering a new explanation for at least some cases of statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS).”

MORE: Henry Nowak: PM Starmer speaks, cop quits. “Henry died on the street, while being read his rights as an accused criminal. No longer able to speak, the last words Nowak heard were ‘you have the right to remain silent.’ Back to the Prime Minister. Starmer piles on to the idea that the real problem with the Nowak case was not his brutal, unprovoked murder, or the callous indifference shown by the responding police to the dying Nowak. No, the real problem is the (small “c”) conservative reaction to these events.”
