Flanked by top health officials including Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump unveiled a federal policy that looked skeptically at childhood vaccination.

The order recommends all children get 11 vaccines instead of the 18 previously recommended by the federal government — and would spread out the doses over a longer time.

The order also calls for the MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella, to be broken up into three vaccinations. It’s nMore...ot currently available in that format in the U.S., and health experts said doing so would expose children to dangerous infectious diseases for much longer.

Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump made a range of misleading and incorrect claims about vaccines. He repeatedly linked them to rising rates of autism in the U.S., despite decades of research showing there is no link between the two.

"Do you even looksmaxx, bro?"

If you've been online over the past year, odds are, you've come across the term "lookmaxxing," a movement that has taken off with young men seeking to improve their appearance by any means necessary. For some, this involves taking drastic, dangerous measures.

Looksmaxxers online have promoted "bonesmashing" − a debunked practice of deliberately breaking bones so they heal back stronger and more chiseled. Some have advocated for "mewing" − another debunked practice aimed at sharpening the jawline. Some even say they've used drugs to lower their body fat percentage, or "leanmaxx."

Now, plastic surgeons are sounding the alarm on another disturbing trend: More and more young men, they say, are coming into their offices in need of corrective procedures for looksmaxxing attempts gone wrong. One of the most common issues they say they're seeing are complications arising from self-injected filler.

Respiratory therapist Marcy Freeman doesn't need a research study to confirm for her a return to the dark days of coal mining. She finds evidence in a stack of more than 150 funeral programs, all for former patients at her pulmonary rehabilitation clinic in Norton, Virginia.

"Each one of these represents a life that's gone because of black lung," Freeman explained as she flipped through the programs, recognizing names and images.

"These are husbands. These are brothers. … These men were just hardworking men, and the only thing they did was go to work and provide for their families. And it cost them everything. … This is the aftermath of black lung."

This aftermath is more dire than even black lung clinicians and researchers expected, according to new data published Wednesday in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.

Within months of being soaked with a glyphosate herbicide while working on a cell tower maintenance crew, Tennessee teenager Arden Allison developed a tumor that grew into what he described as “this massive alien sucking the life off of me.”

Arden was 17 when he landed a job maintaining cell towers across the Midwest. According to his mother, Serene Allison, writing in RealClear Health, his duties included spraying weeds around tower sites with Roundup, a glyphosate-based herbicide first made by Monsanto, now owned by Bayer.

“I didn’t realize the danger,” Arden said in a recent interview on CHD.TV. During the two months he spent “mowing, weedeating and spraying around all the cell towers and access roads,” he said he experienced “several different big exposures of glyphosate.”

The worst came when a backpack sprayer malfunctioned. After Arden climbed over a fence, “the lid popped off” the sprayer. He was “completely doused … with glyphosate,” he said. The chemical soaked his neck, shoulders and upper body.

Diary entries released by a Republican senator in an attempt to damage Anthony Fauci also show the former top US government science adviser’s growing disillusionment with Donald Trump in the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, branding the president “rambling”, “crazy”, “desperate”, “bumbling”, “incompetent”, “an idiot”, “a true embarrassment”, “totally nuts” and “truly an obnoxious adolescent”.

From the earliest days of the crisis six years ago, Fauci noted in his journal challenging interactions with the publicity-fixated Trump. On 27 February 2020, amid the first stirrings of public alarm, he wrote of a surprise late-night call, in which the US president “wanted to chat about the coronavirus situation in general”.

For “about 20-25 minutes”, Fauci wrote, he “encouraged [Trump] not to underplay the seriousness of the situation since if it turns out bad, it would look like he is covering up. I even spoke to him from a political standpoint that his chances for re-election might be more damaged if he downplayed the potential spread of virus in the USA than if he said we may face serious problems and even if the Stock Market goes down further, he was at least honest and the country would respect him for it.

“I thought that he heard what I said, but the next day, he again underplayed it.”

By 14 March, in the thick of the first Covid shutdowns, Fauci is bemoaning Trump’s fixation on “the fluff of ratings and publicity. And so he wants us to do 2 press conferences/day – one in AM and one in PM … We now will have no time to do work.”
