    […] ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine […]

    I’ll be honest, I don’t really understand this one. I’d guess that this is likely some hold over grudge from COVID, but I don’t really understand why it’s still a concern to get, presumably, more open access to those drugs. Aren’t we long past that conversation? Feels like beating a dead horse.

    […] raw milk […]

    I’d support raw milk being legal for consumers to purchase so long as the manufacturers of said raw milk could be held to account for harm caused to a consumer who purchased it under the belief that it was safe — likely, this would also mean that, if it isn’t safe, the product containing raw milk must otherwise display explicit warnings. I think a person should be allowed to take take their own risks.





  • Health-related information should ideally be from peer-reviewed, reproducible scientific studies.

    Note that even if a study is currently reproducible, it will only continue to be reproducible until it isn’t. There isn’t something fundamental that makes a specific scientific study objectively true or false — that isn’t how science works.


    When in doubt, a policy of “Do No Harm”, based on the Hippocratic Oath, is a good compass on what is okay to post.

    I understand that that’s likely well-intentioned, but, imo, it’s rather subjective — it’s more often a matter of relative perspective. That being said, it would be in your best interest to set as clear and precise definitions as you possibly can.


    Non-peer-reviewed studies by individuals are not considered safe for health matters.

    What does this statement mean? You are banning anyone from sharing anything that is not peer-reviewed…?


    We know some folks who are free speech absolutists may disagree with this stance

    That’s a bit of a stretch.
