Trumpâs cancer is much better- easily stage 15. A big, beautiful cancer.

I just have no words. People who value science and facts cannot allow this kind of racist garbage to infiltrate their rhetoric. Sadly, there are more than a few who put power and politics over actual knowledge, and we are all poorer for that.

So I will now have to prove something or other to get a vaccination.
Some much for rights.
My wife and I will be 61 and 62 this fall, I defiantly have risk factors due to heart disease and my wife stays healthy so as not to get me sick. This makes it unclear if we can get a vaccine this fall.
But for healthy people between 6 months and 64 years old who donât have risk factors, the agency plans to require stronger evidence for vaccines from randomized, controlled trials. These studies must show actual clinical outcomes, such as fewer infections or hospitalizations, before the FDA grants full approval of a shot.
When approving a Covid vaccine for high-risk people, the FDA will encourage manufacturers to conduct randomized, controlled clinical trials in healthy adults as part of their post-marketing commitment for the shot.
Previously, the FDA relied more heavily on immunogenicity data when evaluating Covid booster shots â which are tailored to new circulating strains of the virus â for approval for all Americans each year. That approach mirrored the flu vaccine model, where annual strain updates are approved based on immune response data, not full clinical trials.
âThe FDAâs new Covid-19 philosophy represents a balance of regulatory flexibility and a commitment to gold-standard science,â the agency said in the paper. âThe FDA will approve vaccines for high-risk persons and, at the same time, demand robust, gold-standard data on persons at low risk.â

Trump suggests without evidence that Biden delayed sharing his cancer diagnosis
More of that (from Tramp while wearing his Professional Oncolgist cap), but raw, unfiltered. Not intoxicating, but oh so nauseating.
I think itâs very sad, actually. Iâm surprised that it wasnâtâyou knowâthe public wasnât notified a long time ago, because to get to stage 9, thatâs a long time. I just had my physical. You saw that. You saw the results of that particular test. I think that test is standard to pretty much anybody getting a physicalâa good physical. We had the doctors at the White House and over at Walter Reed, which is a fantastic hospital, do it. I did a very complete physical, including a cognitive test. Iâm proud to announce I aced it. I got them all right. You proud of me? Your husband would be proud of me for getting them all right. Itâs a little risk. If I didnât get them all right, these people would be after me. It would be not a good situation.
But I think, frankly, anybody running for president should take a cognitive test. They say itâs unconstitutional, but I would say in that particular case, having a cognitive test wouldnât be so bad.
But when you take testsâmedical, as a maleâthat test is very standard. I donât know if itâs given to everybody, but itâs given just about. And it takes a long time to get to that situation⌠to get to a stage 9. I think that if you take a look, itâs the same doctor that said that Joe was cognitively fine, there was nothing wrong with him. If itâs the same doctor, he said there was nothing wrong there. Thatâs been proven to be a sad situation.
And the autopen is becoming a very big deal. You know, the autopen is becoming a big deal because it seems that maybe it was the presidentâwhoever operated the autopen. But when they say that was not good, they alsoâyou have to look and you have to say that the test was not so good either. In other words, there are things going on that the public wasnât informed [about], and I think somebody is going to have to speak to his doctorâif itâs the same or even if itâs two separate doctors.
Why wasnât the cognitive abilityâwhy wasnât that discussed? And I think the doctor said heâs just fine, and itâs turned out thatâs not so. Itâs very dangerous⌠this is dangerous for our country. Look at the mess we are in.
You talk about all these questions on Ukraine and Russia. That wouldâve never happened, as an example, if I were president. It wouldâve never happened. The other thingâyou have to say: Why did it take so long? I mean, this takes a long time. It can take years to get to this level of danger. Itâs a very, very sad situation. I feel very badly about it. And I think people should try and find out what happened.
Because Iâll tell you, I donât know if it had anything to do with the hospital. Walter Reed is really good. Theyâre some of the best doctors Iâve ever seen. I donât even know if they were involved. But a doctor was involved in each case. Maybe it was the same doctor. And somebody is not telling the facts. Thatâs a big problem.

And here I thought republicans were all about more freedom and fewer of those pesky regulations getting in the way?

Goddammit!
Weâve gotten every booster, and despite being adjacent to a "vaccine skepticalâ population (red state homeschoolers), none of us have had Covid, unless it was one of those stealthy borderline symptomless cases that evaded all the swabs I stuck up our noses with each sniffle or cough. I would like to keep the odds in our favor of continuing to be outliers.
Medical tourism to Mexico maybe?

Because thatâs exactly what he would do.
(Stage 9, FFS??)
Yes, he certainly is.
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country
Ye gods - perverse ignorance beyond comprehension.
Itâs sad (so sad), so sad
Itâs a sad, sad situation
And itâs gettinâ more and more absurd

Same here; and I really want to keep it that way.

Sorry, couldnât resist! 
Back in 2021, I was frustrated to be 60 and, hence, ineligible for the first wave of vaccines. Now Iâm 65 and, from what Iâve read here, can get the vaccine this fall. I guess getting old is âluckyâ this year, but I really do remember that frustration - and jealousy - vividly.
Just visited my new PCP for the first time the other day. She said that Covid is now endemic and just make sure I get the Covid shot along with the flu shot in the fall. I really hope everyone can do the same.
Weâre living in upside-down land and need to learn to stand on our heads. 
ETA: It kinda read like my PCP was advising me to get Covid and the flu this fall! I clarified to say the shots!
