I would like to highlight certain points: 1. No infant requires a cough syrup. It is not recommended, nor approved. 2. Indian-made cough syrups have huge quality control issues. All the more reasons to NOT give children cough syrups. 3. Just because modern medicine cough

I don’t understand what prompts people to make claims they have no business making. Vaccination trades a 1 in millions risk for a 1 in hundreds to 1 in thousands disease risk. (if you want to know about HPV, read on) If a side effect happens in 1 in a million, and you take 10

Paradox: Medicine looks like it’s failing, because it’s working. In the past, you got better or you died. Now? Millions live for decades with chronic illness, thanks to science. But that means more visible sickness, more headlines, more worry. It’s not failure. It’s survival.

In Canada, when the AQI rises to 200-300 (mostly during wildfires), children in schools are strictly not allowed to participate in any activities. They even distribute N95 masks to homeless people. In Australia, sports events are cancelled, and a mandatory face mask rule is in

When people say “we’re getting sicker,” they’re misunderstanding this shift. We’re not dying more. We’re dying later. Science didn’t fail. It worked so well that we had to find new diseases to die from.

Yes tiny harmless doses of mercury were removed from vaccines. Which has resulted in..nothing at at all. Because it never actually caused any problems.

My air purifier has been in the red zone since last night. The AQI has crossed 600, 700 across Delhi (more than 50 TIMES the standard). Yet the govt’s official AQI stations are projecting 200 or so! People of Delhi—WAKE UP!

999 TODAY Delhi's toxic air is political party and festival agnostic. It is a year round problem. Time people and politicians accepted it.

Just landed in Delhi, already got a headache, throat irritation, and burning eyes. It’s unbearable. When China declared a health emergency, AQI was around 300–400. Thailand did it at 250. France took action at 200. And here in India, with AQI touching 500-1000+, our government

Every autistic person I know loves AI. Many of them use LLMs more than anyone else I've seen - and find it incredibly useful in their personal and professional lives. I think it's weird we don't talk about this more.
