FDA Commissioner In Hot Water Over Abortion Pill
“Enough is enough: FDA Commissioner Makary should be fired immediately,” Dannenfelser said in a statement. “...Commissioner Makary is severely undermining President Trump and Vice President Vance’s pro-life credentials and their position that states should have the right to enact and enforce pro-life protections. “FDA Commissioner Marty Makary is working diligently to ensure that Americans have the best possible, Gold Standard Science study of mifepristone,” White House spokesperson Kush Desai told HuffPost. The decision to review mifepristone was built in large part around a junk science report published by an anti-abortion think tank.

Right-Wingers Are Winning The War On Vaccines
“COVID-19 had a spillover effect,” Matt Motta, a health law and policy professor at Boston University’s school of public health, told HuffPost. Public health experts have repeatedly said there is no evidence to support delaying the hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Using parental rights arguments to justify an anti-vax agenda is more proof that right-wingers see this as a winning strategy. As distrust in public health agencies increased, lawmakers introduced hundreds of bills targeting vaccine mandates, and the country’s partisan divide on vaccines and science grew. If Kennedy and parental rights activists have their way, outbreaks like these could become more common.

Trump Now Happy To Openly Disparage ‘S**thole Countries’
LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump on Tuesday finally admitted using the phrase “shithole countries” to describe Haiti and African nations in a sign that the president seems to feel emboldened in his second term.

Derms Say These Shower Water Filters Can Actually Improve Your Hair And Skin
There's a good chance you've seen ads on social media for this cult-fave shower head filter recommended by Dr. Brendan Camp, a board-certified dermatologist. This high-pressure shower head is available in four colors to match your existing bathroom hardware and can be easily installed to fit all U.S. shower heads. This didn’t immediately show results for me but it started to show results after week 2.5. I was using a different brand of water filter and shower head and after 2 years of living in Florida with it my hair was frizzy and breaking at the nape of my neck. I put on some shower oil when I got out and my skin soaked it all in instead of just laying on the surface."
