Medical Genetic Engineering and Our Children’s Safety
As a pediatrician and advocate for children's health, I recognize that gene therapies for rare conditions like spinal muscular atrophy or Duchenne muscular dystrophy are often held up as evidence of the promise of genetic engineering. While some of these therapies have shown potential in some rare clinical conditions, they do not justify the uncontrolled expansion of genetic manipulation across medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. These technologies remain largely experimental, with...
GMOs on X
This is a different type of blog/article. My news stems mostly from X. I grew weary from censorship and factchecking and thought X might be the safe news haven. For the most part, I believe that to be true, unless I am criticizing Dr. Makary and the FDA position on Covid vaccines or the missing link, GMOs, from the MAHA Commission Report recently released. But a recent post graced my feed and I thought I must share an anonymous tweet in response to someone stating that “…Developing GMO food...
