"The basis for his murder conviction (shaken baby syndrome) is a diagnosis no longer supported by the evidence or supported by experts (e.g., the AAP, which previously zealously supported the diagnosis, has now backed off it, and the expert who popularized the diagnosis shortly before his death stated “I am doing what I can so long as I have a breath to correct a grossly unjust situation.”), and to date, at least 32 parents and caregivers in 18 states have been exonerated after being wrongfully convicted under the shaken baby hypothesis."

No, no cure - just ineffective cancer vaccines. Why just rely on just people diagnosed with cancer, when you can vaccinate everyone. Maybe even individual vaccines for each type of cancer - and boosters....

This article from "PoliticoPro" - CBO: Center tasked with saving Medicare money falls short - is behind a paywall. I would love to read it, and possibly pass it on elsewhere. I believe that ACO REACH is one of the anti-cost saving "inovative" payment systems in the headline. If someone has access and can put the complete story on an archive site, and post the link, I would be very grateful.

It starts out: The Congressional Budget Office released an updated estimate Thursday that shows the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, created under Obamacare to test new ways to pay for health care, will increase federal spending by $1.3 billion from 2021 to 2030. From 2011 through 2020, the center increased spending by $5.4 billion.

The updated estimates, based on reviews of 49 payment models CMMI has launched since its creation in 2010, are far below initial projections. In 2010, CBO projected CMMI would reduce spending by $2.8 billion over 10 years.

These groups include the Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) and the American Medical Student Association, who are trying to persuade CMS and Health and Human Services (HHS) to end the ACO REACH model, claiming that it is unworkable as this pilot program provides hazardous reward systems to limit senior care.

According to healthcare groups, ACO REACH keeps the most harmful aspects of Direct Contracting and, under the pretense of increasing fairness or equity, gives intermediaries even more opportunities to profit at the cost of patients and the Medicare Trust Fund. They warned unequivocally that if this misguided payment model continues, REACH would radically change Traditional Medicare by authorizing third-party facilitators to control seniors’ care without their knowledge or permission.

What really needs to be added to this story is who AGRA (Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa) is.

Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) is a Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation– and Rockefeller Foundation-funded nonprofit organization created to address food insecurity and poverty in Africa by imposing genetically modified seeds, patented fertilizers and pesticides on Africa’s food systems....

Environmentalist and anti-genetic-engineering activist Vandana Shiva criticized AGRA for using its large funding to impose agricultural practices that are damaging to food systems, smallholder farmers, the environment, and the nutritional content of food. She claims AGRA is continuing the work of biotechnology firm Monsanto by promoting the use of patented agricultural technology....

Between 2006 and 2020, Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa has received over $1 billion in revenue, approximately two-thirds of which has come from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Bill Gates thinks that his obscene wealth entitles him to decide agriculture, education, and vaccination policies world-wide, and he does so by using his tax exempt "non-profit" foundation.
