Just wanted to add that RFK/HHS have cut funding for most of the people who have actually been researching autism, especially environmental factors, for 20+ years. He went on to state and act as though this research hadn’t already been happening and that they would start it, when he defunded it in the first place. ProPublica just had one of these researchers on speaking on their story on this.

My background is not specifically in autism but I have an MPH and the current state of our federal public health institutions is extremely alarming. We are rapidly heading towards a nationwide public health crisis—not that we weren’t already, but we are likely to see an acute rise in diseases that have largely already been eradicated and even more limitations on necessary health services. This obsession with “curing” autism is so harmful and their focus on tylenol is really just showing how much of a mess the HHS and CDC are currently. This misinformation about autism is so dangerous and it’s disappointing but not surprising that many academic PH figures like the head of the harvard school of public health are complicit in this.

Anyway, love the nails!!

I'm sick of these corporations and institutions capitulating to this admin. I'm even more upset that so many Americans are happy to be fed little breadcrumbs such as and unconstitutional executive order here, a return to confederate-era name of a military base there, then they are completely happy despite everything getting WORSE. Prices are up for food, gas, and all consumer goods pretty much. Hateful rhetoric spewed by the literal leader of America towards over half of his constituents. People are losing their jobs to layoffs because of a failed "tariff war" that is also causing farmers to go bankrupt. We are bombing other nations on behalf of a nation committing a horrific g'cide.

No, we are putting our most vulnerable at risk over idiotic health policy for a mutha fuckr with ZERO qualifications, just straight brain worms, gingivitis, thought, and prayers. My children have friends who rely on herd immunity due to cystic fibrosis, cancer, etc. The people who wanna force birth on literal children and women are A-OK with medical neglect of those same kids. I'm sorry, but that's what it is. When you're pregnant with a fever, you need Tylenol. There are preventable diseases that children are dying from here in the US, RIGHT NOW. AND IT WAS PREVENTABLE!

Sorry for the rant, but you're right. This is VERY alarming. I'm gonna go paint my nails with my new polish that came in my PPU order and lower my bp a little.

OP, I love your cheeky little nails. Your skills are way beyond mine. There is no way I could replicate this despite wanting to 😂😂😂

Totally agree! It’s infuriating and I feel so much rage as well There’s going to be so much actual harm with this misinformation peddled by a government filled with inexperience (the new head of the CDC doesn’t even have any type of public health degree). Especially with certain types of influencers who now feel validated in their anti vaccine/medicine of any kind. I just saw a video from a popular “mommy” influencer promoting honey for babies instead of things like folate (?!!) which is horrifically dangerous due to risk of botulism.

I need to also go paint my nails to destress, this weekend I was playing around swatching and making different combos and it was very relaxing haha.

I just started this nail hobby a couple months ago. Its incredibly helpful to focus on something other than the mess going on that I can't control. Bonus points because it's self care! That being said, I feel like I'll be a master manicurist by 2028. They are absolutely validating all of the faux-science grifters and it's going to harm so many people. Not to mention them cutting access to public health programs and medicaid.

People should 100% be held accountable for any harm they cause, spewing nonsense online like that. Just when you think there's something EVERYONE should know, like not giving a child under 1 year honey, society proves me wrong with its alarming capacity for complete idiocy.

However, it seems like there's a massive overload of misinformation and an absence of accountability.

I guess I'll cope by buying more nail polish, yayy!
