I’m a chemist. I need to say this - because it’s getting dangerous out there. The biggest health myth in the world isn’t about vaccines. Or GMOs. Or fluoride. It’s the root of all of them. It’s called chemophobia - and it’s killing science. Fear of “chemicals” now drives vaccine rejection, GMO bans, food hysteria, and entire political movements. From tampons to tap water, people have been taught to fear chemistry - the very thing that keeps us alive. Chemophobia tells us: “Natural is good.” “Synthetic is bad.” That’s a lie. Botulinum toxin is 100% natural and one of the deadliest molecules known. Aspirin is synthetic and life-saving. We’ve gone from banning harmful substances for good reason…to banning safe, well-tested molecules for emotional reasons. You’ve seen the slogans: “If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it.” “Paraben-free.” “Clean beauty.” They sound empowering. But they’re not science - they’re marketing. And they’re making the world dumber, poorer, and sicker. Your body doesn’t care if a molecule comes from a plant or a lab. Vitamin C is vitamin C. Formaldehyde is formaldehyde and your body makes more of it every day than any vaccine ever could. Dose matters. Source doesn’t. This fear isn’t harmless. It shapes public policy. It blocks innovation. It raises food prices. It slows down cancer treatments. Chemophobia is now mainstream and it’s costing lives. Scientists aren’t losing because we’re wrong. We’re losing because fear spreads faster than facts. Because influencers sell fear for clicks. Because lawyers monetize doubt. And because scientists are too tired to fight back. So here’s my message, as a chemist and as a citizen: Learn how toxicology works. Call out chemical fear-mongering. Support policies based on evidence, not emotion. Chemistry isn’t the enemy. It’s the reason you have clean water, safe food, and modern medicine. If we let fear win, we lose all of it.

I see a lot of pro-Israel crusaders defending the USS Liberty attack using various excuses like “Israel mistook the Liberty for an Egyptian ship” etc. The one thing they never address is machine-gunning the survivors climbing into lifeboats. It would still be a war crime.

Got rather into researching my ancestry after a dna kit a few years ago. Turns out I come from undistinguished peasant stock. Never bothered me until my mother recently got a pedigree fox terrier puppy and I found out you can trace the dog's ancestry further back than my own.

@William89444641 @NJBeisner You didn’t answer my question - why do you think that God cares more about an aborted fetus than those actual children?

The ADHD + weed jokes are funny until you dig into the research and realize there’s real science behind it.

@ZackPolanski Replace "billionaire" with "Jewish" in all Polanski's polemic and propaganda, and his antisemitism becomes clear. It's all just Zackshit.

New: Cops keep getting arrested for using Flock to stalk people. Seemingly every week there's a new case, the details usually similar. Cops use unfettered access to Flock to surveil an ex. They most often search plates hundreds of times over months 404media.co/cops-keep-gett…

At @Coles Australia, you get the cheapest prices and your personal information stolen and sent to Israel, for no extra cost. If this doesn't add to incandescent rage towards Israel in the community, nothing will. #BoycottColes
