Apparently Raw milk sales not only increasing in the States but also the UK as the Guardian reports. This is unpasteurised milk with the ‘goodness’ of Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Yersinia, & tuberculosis bacteria left in. Yet the Guardian didn’t say this…
Making a splash: demand for raw and ‘brewed’ milk growing in UK
Farmers and delivery firms launch new options for those seeking alternative to traditionally pasteurised product

This is another bonkers US right wing import. 🙄 Pasteurisation was to solve a massive public health crisis in the early 20th century caused by raw milk spreading deadly diseases! Bovine tuberculosis, cholera, typhoid, E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria, which are becoming antibiotic resistant..
I took paracetamol in both my pregnancies for minor joint troubles. I had a better pregnancy experience because I wasn't in pain. Neither of my kids is autistic. The high-quality studies and reviews confirm there is NO evidence that paracetamol taken by the mother causes autism in the child. 🧪
Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...
Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

I decided to become a journalist aged fifteen after reading ‘1984’ and being appalled at the thought that governments could rewrite history. Orwell knew the USSR did it. Now China pretends the Tiananmen massacre didn’t happen. It did. I was there, and saw it for myself.

"We do not want British farmers or British consumers to be confronted with US chlorinated chicken or US hormone treated beef in our supermarkets." "We should look to trade with partners who respect our standards." @ldbrianmathewmp.bsky.social at Westminster Hall 👇
Trump is shaking science as NIH is abruptly withdrawing funds for a long standing US study. This is heartbreaking and such a waste of an incredible opportunity to understand, help and prevent diseases that impact women predominantly and the impacts of hormonal changes in health. 🧪

We are learning the wrong lessons from lockdown
And unless we learn the right ones, we risk making the same mistakes in a new pandemic

The first was necessary because Govt hadn't enacted pandemic planning, cases and hospitalisations were surging. Despite what eejits say, sniffles don't kill nearly 250K people💔 Subsequent lockdowns were self-inflicted, GBD-influenced, and dreadful. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/health/...
Was the Covid lockdown a monumental mistake?
Britain was put into lockdown on 23 March 2020, with Boris Johnson urging people to 'stay at home, protect our NHS and save lives', but was it the right course of action? Dan Thompson spoke to two exp...

1. Today the Tories unveil their new policy: ripping up the commitment to net zero by 2050. Kemi Badenoch, with no evidence, claims "it can’t be achieved without a serious drop in our living standards or by bankrupting us." What the evidence shows is the opposite. We can't prosper without it. 🧵
If you don’t get your child vaccinated against measles, it can put them at a high risk of this serious infection, which can lead to severe complications or even death. Make sure your child’s measles vaccination is up to date.
More than one quarter of eligible adults under 35 are missing from the electoral register. So are 1 in 4 Black and Asian citizens. And 4 in 10 citizens who live in privately rented homes. In Wales, they're trialling a way to fix this 👇 kellnerp.substack.com/p/eight-mill...
Eight million reasons to end this scandal
Britain's electoral registers are not fit for purpose. It would cost little to put them right.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

The fact that this exists around us but we got stuck on this stupid planet with a bunch of man babies trying to work out their grievances is just so annoying.
Show me someone pretending that Prince Harry hasn't kicked Rupert Murdoch's arse from here to eternity & I'll show you a Murdoch lackey/Trump apologist/bare-faced liar. Some people may even fit all three categories!
We’re in a new Gilded Age - which sounds great, but the Robber Barons are back. And this time, they’re more selfish than ever, as Prof Tobias Jung, St Andrews University, writes: theconversation.com/andrew-carne...
Andrew Carnegie and the 19th-century ‘robber barons’ have lessons for today’s oligarchs about the responsibilities of wealth
The 19th-century industrialists were called ‘robber barons’ – but they did more to improve society than many of today’s super-rich.
