About the Supreme Court case concerning #tariffs , Trump said, "This was a case started by very China-centric people and also anti-American people...that don't want us to do well...uh...tariffs have helped us stop 8 wars...helped us get the best trade numbers we've ever had...helped us get $18 trillion brought into the country and...given us tremendous national security, just the threat of tariffs..."*

Good Lord, I remember late night comedians making jokes about Obama's Peace Prize because he hadn't had much chance to act as president yet.

At least he had the right ideals.

#Trump #NobelPeacePrize

OF COURSE HE FUCKING TOOK IT, IT’S A GOLD SHINY THING.

I’d say that he’s like a fucking magpie, but that would be a cruel slander on intelligent birds. #Trump #USpol

The January 5 #HHS memo on childhood #vaccines calls for "gold standard medical research to assess overall health outcomes related to
all immunizations on the revised schedule."
https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/decision-memo-adopting-revised-childhood-adolescent-immunization-schedule.pdf

Good critique by #JessSteier: "You can’t ethically run placebo-controlled trials on vaccines that are already known to work and are the standard of care. Withholding a proven vaccine from children in a control group violates the Declaration of Helsinki. This is a foundational principle of research ethics. So when they say 'we need gold standard science before we can trust this schedule,' what they’re really saying is 'we’re going to set an impossible bar and then act like the vaccines failed to clear it.'"
