The DAP is a good team player: It trusts and supports Anwar Ibrahim

..

The Ipoh Barat MP said while various quarters have either questioned or expressed their disappointment over his omission from the cabinet, he urged them to look at the bigger picture. 

“It is a cabinet that has the support of all Pakatan Harapan (PH) component parties. It is a cabinet that aims to mend the division among our people and unite us once again with a common goal.“This common goal is to rebuild this nation after what it has been through over the last two years,” he said in a statement today. 

In his statement, Kula reminded quarters that the administration today does belong solely to PH, but rather a unity government comprising other coalitions and parties. 

“They need to understand what that means and entails… I urge everyone to get behind Anwar and his cabinet, and be patient as correcting what is rotten and ailing takes time and support from all of us. 

“We are on the right track again,” he said. 

The former human resources minister also urged everyone to back fellow DAP member V. Sivakumar who has instead been appointed to take up the portfolio. 

He said if needed, he is willing to offer a hand in the carrying out of ministerial duties. 

“This ministry remains one of the most important and integral ministries in our country. I am sure Sivakumar will learn the ropes fast. Siva has vast political experience and the capability to drive the ministry forward.” 

Sivakumar is the sole Indian lawmaker under Anwar’s cabinet. – The Vibes, December 4, 2022

DAP pledges unconditional support to Anwar, has no issues on Cabinet representation, sec-gen says

KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 3): DAP has committed to providing Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim with unconditional support for him to form a government, hence the party has no dissatisfaction with its relatively lower representation within the Cabinet, according to its secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook.

“I want to put on [the] record today, as I have said just now, on Nov 22, before Datuk Seri Anwar headed to the Palace, I have told him that ‘as long as you are PM, DAP willing to sacrifice anything’, that is my commitment to Datuk Seri Anwar,” he said in a press conference on Saturday (Dec 3).

Nonetheless, Loke clarified that the sacrifices he meant were on the terms and conditions of the formation of the government and do not include the values the party adheres to, hence agendas like fighting corruption must be continued.

Asked about the appointment of Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi into the Cabinet, Loke responded that it is the prerogative and discretion of the PM, and DAP respects such decision.

Frank Han: The Aseem Malhotra lecture isn’t what you think it is | Science-Based Medicine

The Aseem Malhotra lecture isn’t what you think it is

In November 2022, Dr. Aseem Malhotra gave a lecture that was more about advancing a narrative than explaining the science.

Frank Han
on December 3, 2022

For those audience members unfamiliar with Dr. Aseem Malhotra (who has been discussed previously on SBM, he is a British cardiologist who is currently conducting a campaign with like-minded people to halt the administration of COVID-19 vaccines in England and end all British COVID vaccination mandates. Once upon a time, he did support COVID immunization, but his views completely turned around once his father died of an apparent cardiac arrest at home. Though the cardiac arrest was compounded by an ambulance delay, Dr. Malhotra now describes this event as a vaccine injury. He is sincerely convinced that mRNA immunization has brought much more cardiac harm to the population than is being discussed in public, and that this harm was what killed his father. He is currently spending most of his publicly visible time asking for all COVID immunization to be halted. As a professional with similar training, I want to emphasize that the normal procedure for bringing forth a new biologic mechanism, practice guideline, or surgical technique, is to first conduct pre-clinical experiments to determine whether your idea is correct, then gradually move towards human clinical trials. For example, the surgical techniques for heart surgery on babies evolved over time to become the extremely safe techniques that are in use today in modern surgical suites. At multiple levels, surgeons and cardiologists argued over the best thing to do, and patients are safer during congenital heart surgery because of these debates. Russell Blalock, Helen Taussig, and Vivien Thomas were genuine pioneers in my field who helped invent the very first pediatric heart surgery (against steep opposition and dogma).

Very similar procedures have been followed for the mRNA immunizations. Multiple universities and research teams have been studying their safety and effectiveness since their release and have produced the necessary studies to substantiate their hypotheses. Those same universities and teams have used the same research and techniques to validate the major side effects. Dr. Malhotra, during his public appearances, has repeatedly claimed that people were experiencing unreported, deadly or nearly deadly cardiac events after mRNA immunization. His secondary claim is that there has not been sufficient research conducted specifically on this issue. Both of his core points are presented in the near absence of adequate evidence we normally expect from a practicing cardiologist. As of the writing of this article, he has made no verifiable efforts to corral together the research group, research funding, or multi-center collaboration to produce the basic science, clinical science, or epidemiological research to show that his beliefs are backed with peer-reviewed evidence (which is what the rest of us have done).

The lecture he delivered to the Friends House in Euston in November 2022 illustrates most of his major talking points. He uses a tactic widely employed by the antivax community, which is to weave in kernels of truth with outright falsehoods, which makes the task of deciphering his lecture for the non-medically trained reader much more difficult. His core motivation, in his own words, is to campaign against all forms of mRNA immunization after the death of his father, and he appears to be on a worldwide tour trying to share his point of view. The secondary message in his lecture revolves around descriptions of physician bias and his perceived lack of ability of physicians to review the medical literature.

Below is a list of 20 of his main talking points, and a discussion of the issues with his claims.

Fitness influencer ‘Liver King’ Brian Johnson admits to steroid use: ‘I Lied’

Fitness Influencer ‘Liver King’ Admits to Steroid Use: ‘I Lied’

A fitness influencer whose signature was his ultra-ripped physique and videos of eating raw liver and bone marrow has now admitted that he used steroids to get his body, not his unusual diet and exercise routines.

Brian Johnson, who is known as the “Liver King” was outed by a Youtuber named Derek who showed what he claimed was proof that Liver King used thousands of dollars per month in steroids to keep up his physical condition.

As speculation mounted, Johnson finally admitted Wednesday that he is a steroid user.

Johnson admitted he “f*cked up” and “lied.”

“I’m making this video to apologize because I f*cked up, because I’m embarrassed and ashamed,” he said in a video posted to Youtube. “Because I lied and I misled a lot of people. I stated that this is a complicated as f*ck topic, at least to me it is because before social media, I was rich and anonymous. And after social media, I’m still rich, but no longer anonymous. And I never expected this kind of exposure in the public eye. It’s been tricky as f*ck to navigate. Well, clearly, I did it wrong. And I’m here now to set the record straight.”

Johnson went on to admit to the steroid use.
