So this woman, Mandy Gunasekara who perports to be from the “Independent Women’s Forum’s Center on Energy and Conservation”, is actually a bullshit artist who actually doesn’t believe in science, right? I’d be curious to know if there is anyone else from “Independent Women’s Forum’s Center on Energy and Conservation”…

I hope the settlement bankrupts both the hospital and their insurance company.

It’s more well known because it makes for great storytelling, but I don’t think it’s actually more common than CRPS, which by contrast is a nearly invisible disability that can be a nightmare to diagnose. One source I found (the National Organization for Rare Diseases) gave an incidence of about 5.46 people out of…

Just another example of the classic conservative mantra: the government is broken. And they actively work to break it. If we can’t force the majority of voters to approve of our backwards ass political philosophy, then instead of adapting and evolving our views, we’ll just abdicate our responsibility as elected…

Anything that unironically uses the term “wellness” is a at best a grift and at worst, like this, a fucking cult.

Hope she gets paid and those involved lose their medical licenses. 

100%

Oh, they tortured the shit out of that kid. I’m sure she was treated with as much care as one would expect of a ward of the Florida state. 

Per another article: “Feldman said he would have expected Maya to show improvement during her lengthy hospitalization if Munchausen was to blame.

I’d weep for our future... if we had one.

reading things like this makes me glad we are making this planet uninhabitable for humanity. We’ve just fucked up everything.

These fuckers funded the legal defense for an ecoterror group ALF with donators money and they run a kill shelter in Virginia. Astrid Newkirk believes pet ownership is akin to slavery. she is the most extreme of the extreme and dangerous because she lies / markets a softer image so very very well.

Peta is a terrorist organization, and not even Pete shitting in their mailbox would make me think twice about being mean to him.

I’m pretty sure big corporations just ignore PETA, so, like any neighborhood bully, their only choice is to find individual victims and single them out. Pet stores suck, yes, but not nearly as much as PETA.

They’ve always sucked.

Hell, half the time they are arguing you shouldn’t have pets. So why care what PETA has to say about how you source one.

This. Peta deserves to suck the proverbial dick. They’re toxic attention whores who care more about being in the news than they do about animals, and they have a terrible track record.

Sometimes I wonder if animal welfare is actually their goal, since they are so toxic that they definitely do more harm than good.

Yup. Pete pretty much said what I would’ve said to Daphna. 

I agree. I always wonder if they have any kind of real research to show their extreme tactics accomplish anything positive at all.
