And when we met just recently, you know, you really taken some great steps for your Substack.
But much bigger than Substack is, you know, the network that you work in.
So besides the fact that now it's available in Spanish and so you can get continuing medical education credit.
I mean, these are great ideas.
You have a staff now, a big team.
I mean, my team is, you know, one team.
But you have a team of like, what, 14 people and some great people in your group that are helping to get the word out, get straight talk out.
But you're doing other things, too.
So in order to counter this situation we have right now, tell us about is it the data or evidence collective and other aspects of your how we can counter the problems that we're confronting?
Well, I'm trying to help you find potential donors to support the effort.
Because I think that's part of it.
But let's face it, we've got, you know, Musk with X with hundreds of millions of people clearly, you know, leaning towards one side of all this and promoting through that channel platform, you know, lots of the bad information we're talking about, you know.
And so we have, besides the current administration that seems to not make a priority of good information and research and public health, we've got some big factors against us here.
Do you think you have the ideas that if you could bring this network together and put out good information, can it ante up to this overpowering force that we're reckoning with?
So, you know, Shadow CDC or alt CDC.
I do want to agree with you.
I mean, I applaud that part of his efforts.
That is to deal with ultra-processed foods, to deal with air pollution, microplastics, big pharma.
Those are good things.
If he only would stick to the science of vaccines and what we understand about diseases and health outside of the food and the environment, then we'd be in good shape.
