84. An old carcher's mitt!
Fri May 1, 2026, 05:22 PM
Yesterday

That's exactly what his face looks like! That really cracked me up, and rereading it still makes me giggle. Does the man not believe in supplements? I mean the only nutritional benefit of sunshine, afaik, is vitamin D, which is easy enough to remedy. I've been taking it every day for years, after bloodwork showed I was low on it.

The article you linked was very interesting. It sounds like he thinks UV light, like raw milk and beef tallow, has some kind of magical properties. What a nutjob. Before he became HHS Secretary, I was only aware of his bizarre views on vaccines. I now see that the vaccine thing was only the tip of the crazy iceberg!
