    Diogenes Club | E30 - The Department of Health & Human Sacrifices

    Summary Nick Paro and Dr. Eric Lullove welcome in guest Jason Odell — photographer, biologist, and co-host of Latchkey Hour — to argue that HHS under RFK Jr. has inverted the mission statement Dr. Lullove reads aloud on air. Dr. Lullove reports that the Lancaster County coroner has released pathology on two infant deaths: a six-week-old who died August 18 of measles, and Ivan Miller, who died August 14 of a ruptured spleen with measles listed as a significant condition, and that the CDC still has not officially recognized the fatalities. Odell, who holds a PhD in biology, sets that against the actual history of American eugenics — Mendel, the 1930s sterilization programs, the syphilis experiments run on Black Americans — and then names the sorting mechanism the episode keeps returning to: it isn’t genes anymore, it’s money. Dr. Lullove says it flatly — “It’s not your genes, it’s your pocketbook” — and stacks the receipts: a Senate HELP Committee projection that the Medicare trust fund goes insolvent by 2034, a Republican fix that quietly raises FICA on employers and paychecks instead of lifting the $184,000 Social Security cap, and a $440 monthly cut to Social Security checks if nothing changes. Odell supplies the household version: his premium up 600% after subsidies lapsed, and $270 out of pocket for each of two blood draws he needs next week. The second half is about what the money buys instead. Paro walks the Cook Political Report Senate map — six toss-ups in Alaska, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, and Texas, with 52 as the only number that changes anything — while Dr. Lullove tallies roughly $1.5 billion in monument spending: a triumphal arch pitched at $100 million, a billion-dollar ballroom, the Kennedy Center, and a National Garden of American Heroes with 250 life-size statues. All three read the new Space Force dress uniforms the same way, and Paro, an Army veteran, declines to treat it as a joke. Gallup is the closest thing to good news: 89% of American adults now call the federal government corrupt, the highest figure in twenty years, with the sharpest movement among Democrats (57% to 91%) and independents (78% to 90%), and Supreme Court approval at a record-low 33% after Republican approval of the Court fell 21 points to 58%. The ask at the end is far smaller than any of it — Nieta Greene’s Say No to Crip Crow campaign, collecting sign-ups for lobbying, phone banking, and legislator meetings to codify Olmstead into the ADA through the Curtis Wilson Act. Say No To Crip Crow Take action today for Advocacy Month: https://tinyurl.com/saynotocripcrowoctadvocacy “America has not fully fulfilled its commitment to guaranteeing equality for all since its founding nearly 250 years ago… Disability Community for Democracy will urge Congress to enact legislation that codifies the Olmstead decision, ensuring that states cannot compel the re-institutionalization of individuals with disabilities.” — Nieta Greene, CEO, from Disability Community for Democracy’s official statement on the Olmstead memo Use your voice — in which ever ways you can — to call, email, and fax your federal legislators using the support of our pre-written scripts and templates at: * Learn about the Lois Curtis and Elaine Wilson Integration Act Actions You Can Take Get your Sick of this Shit merch! * Check out the Sick of this Shop!

    Diogenes Club | E29 - Parent Talk on Bullying and AI with Ashleigh

    Diogenes in Review With Dr. Eric Lullove sidelined by a hearing, Nick Paro handed the second chair to Ashleigh Alauren for an hour on the thing neither of them has solved: raising kids inside AI and online bullying. Nick talks about family pulling Roblox off both kids’ devices — his are 13 and 10 — because the platform has repeatedly been used to lure children, and because its open world-builder lets users push white nationalist content and subtle grooming with almost no monitoring. He and his wife told the kids why, rather than just deleting the app. Ashleigh, whose daughter is starting fifth grade and whose son is on the spectrum, came in from the opposite position: chats off, tablets allowed, and an honest admission that she didn’t know Roblox was that bad. That asymmetry is the engine for the discussion — one parent who has done the research, one who is asking the questions most parents are too busy to ask. Both hosts hold what Nick calls “dueling views” on AI, and neither pretends otherwise. Ashleigh uses it to while researching the Epstein Files to map financial records and assemble fraud timelines she has submitted to Senator Wyden’s office; she also describes the same capability pointed the other way, at people who can be targeted by anyone willing to ask the machine. Nick’s framing is the tool argument — a hammer drives nails and has also been used to kill, and we don’t call it a murder weapon — which puts the burden on the user and, for children, on the parent setting the guardrails. He says his daughter uses a creativity-focused chatbot and that she has told him it sometimes steers more explicit than she is comfortable with; the point he draws is not that she should lose the app but that she told him at all, because the family built the trust for it. Nick’s sharpest line lands on training: “AI is like a toddler with access to all the information in the world. And if we don’t take the time to train it and teach it like we would a child, it’s going to turn out to be an a*****e.” His conclusion follows directly — don’t bully the AI, because that behavior bleeds back into the model, and into your kids’ assistant. The two of them go looking for a parent resource that ranks platforms by safety, find that neither knows of one, and openly ask the audience to help build it. That gap is the honest takeaway of the episode, and it is left standing. “But my job isn’t to be your friend right now. It’s to make sure that you can go out into the world and not be a complete a*****e.” — Nick Paro Nick’s practical throughline is boundaries you model rather than announce. He takes “anything but yes means no” out of the physical-consent context and applies it to toys, food, and screen time, and he stops tickling his son at the parts of the body his son has ruled off-limits — a small demonstration that a stated boundary gets honored. Consequences are natural, not arbitrary: miss the bus, and the consequence is an alarm and a ride, not a confiscated tablet. He and his wife also refuse to let their older child be adultized into a caregiver role for her brother, a pressure Ashleigh describes her own daughter carrying at another household. Leilani, in the chat, supplied the compression: children want healthy boundaries, and so do adults. Nick also checks himself on “touch grass” — he names it as ableist, since for some people online community is the social interaction available, and he credits Substack with some of his closest friendships. The episode closes on two instructions worth keeping: Ashleigh’s borrowed Ted Lasso rule to be more curious and less judgmental before you join a pile-on, and Nick’s blunt version of the same advice — talk to your kids, treat them like people, and just suck less.

    Diogenes Club | E28 - The Doctors Are In The House with Dr. Angela Rasmussen

    Diogenes in Review Nick Paro and Dr. Eric Lullove brought virologist Dr. Angela Rasmussen — science chair of the Save America Movement and co-editor-in-chief of the journal Vaccine — onto Diogenes Club to take apart the executive order directing HHS to split the MMR shot into three monovalent doses by November. Rasmussen’s verdict is blunt: parents can safely ignore it. The president has no legal authority to make immunization recommendations, that power sits with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, and a federal judge already voided the Kennedy-appointed ACIP’s decisions, which puts the country back on the 2025 schedule. No monovalent measles, mumps, or rubella vaccine is FDA-licensed; manufacturing one would require new phase one, two, and three trials — Lullove pegs the average at seven to eight years and well over 25,000 participants — for a product with no demand. The order cannot produce a vaccine, but it can produce doubt, and Rasmussen argues that is the actual deliverable: “This thing is lying to you to make you doubt the combined MMR vaccine,” and in the face of doubt, people stay home. The three of them then traced what that doubt costs. Measles needs 95% coverage to stop; the MMR is 97% effective, and Lullove’s sharper number is not the falling vaccination rate but the exemption rate, which he says climbed roughly 80% — from 2.5% to 4.2% — in under a year. Rasmussen’s own epidemiological modeling projects over three million cumulative U.S. measles cases across the next decade, and she flags rubella as the underrated threat to pregnant people, who cannot receive the live attenuated vaccine and must be immune before conception — a problem in states like Arkansas, where Nick notes most counties have no OBGYN at all. Lullove ties the same thread to money: physicians’ Medicare conversion factor has not been inflation-adjusted since 2001, sitting at $33.65 against an inflation-adjusted $65.16, while hospitals collect a statutory 2.4% annual raise. Rasmussen is now pointing her AI and Bayesian modeling work — the same methods she uses to predict viral disease outcomes — at CMS and OMB data to forecast the One Big Beautiful Bill Act’s health impacts down to the county level, and she is careful about the distinction: the models are standard machine-learning classification, not generative AI, and she will publish the data sources and methods. Nick calls the cumulative effect gene pool management. Rasmussen calls it the pathogenesis of fascism. Neither is speaking in metaphor. People, Orgs, and Terms Mentioned People: * Dr. Angela Rasmussen — PhD virologist at the University of Saskatchewan, science chair of the Save America Movement, co-editor-in-chief of the journal Vaccine; the episode’s guest. * Dr. Eric Lullove — practicing physician and health policy writer, Diogenes Club co-host, who brought Rasmussen onto the show. * Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — HHS secretary; Rasmussen argues his decades of anti-vaccine messaging, not just his current office, drove immunization rates down. * Dr. Anita Patel — double board-certified critical care pediatrician joining Rasmussen for a live vaccine Q&A on the Save America Movement channel. * Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove — Rasmussen’s Save America Movement colleague who proposed applying Bayesian modeling to track policy impact. Organizations / Programs: * Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) — the federal body that must approve vaccine recommendations; currently stayed by court order after the American Academy of Pediatrics’ lawsuit. * Save America Movement — the organization where Rasmussen serves as science chair and is building her health-policy forecasting model. * Vaccine Integrity Project, American Academy of Pediatrics, Infectious Diseases Society of America — the professional sources Rasmussen recommends over the CDC site for vaccine guidance. * Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) — source of the expenditure data Rasmussen is modeling for county-level impact forecasts. Terms / Concepts: * Monovalent vaccine — a single-antigen shot; splitting MMR into three monovalents means six pediatric injections instead of two, with no licensed product to give. * Exemption rate — the share of students opting out of school vaccine requirements; Lullove treats its rise as more alarming than the coverage decline itself. * Conversion factor — the Medicare multiplier applied to each procedure’s work value to set physician payment; frozen in real terms since 2001. * p-hacking — manipulating statistical tests until a result clears the 0.05 significance threshold; Rasmussen’s example of the older version of the trust problem now attached to AI. * Gene pool management — Nick and Dr. Eric’s term for eugenic health policy, adopted after platform moderation flagged the word “eugenics.” Actions You Can Take Get your Sick of this Shit merch! * Check out the Sick of this Shop!

    Diogenes Club | E27 - A System Meant To Harm

    Diogenes In Review Nick and Eric open on the USS Abraham Lincoln, where the crew has passed 250 consecutive days at sea against a normal carrier rotation of 180 days, with two days ashore in Oman and reporting from the Navy Times and Stars and Stripes describing half-cup rice rations, broken plumbing, no hot water, no soap or toothpaste, and thwarted suicide attempts. Nick, a veteran, refuses the “logistics failure” framing outright: “There is a difference between operational management and just cruelty, and what’s going on on the Abraham Lincoln, and probably other vessels too, is cruelty.” Eric puts numbers behind it — service-branch suicide rates from 18 to 31 per 100,000 — and names the political response, including Pete Hegseth calling the reporting fake news while Senators Blumenthal and Gallego and Congressmen Crow and Levin demand an oversight inquiry. They read the Lincoln as the visible edge of something wider, agency by agency, from a gutted State Department to the money pulled out of the Forestry Service and the National Park Service. The second half is where the episode earns its title. Nick reports that a TikTok video of his was taken down under community guidelines for using the word “eugenics” to describe this week’s executive order breaking the MMR vaccine into single-antigen shots — so the hosts adopt “gene pool management” as the term that survives moderation, and use it for the rest of the show. Eric, the medical voice, walks the practical demolition: no licensed standalone measles, mumps, or rubella vaccine exists in the U.S., Merck discontinued Attenuvax, Mumpsvax, and Meruvax II in 2009 and 2010, the order gives HHS 90 days to produce an availability plan that cannot conjure a supply chain, and the buried foreign-manufacturer clause contradicts both the safety rationale and the administration’s own America First posture. From there they turn to what a counter-plan looks like: Eric’s read that Project 2025 has completed 283 of 532 tracked recommendations without a single act of Congress, that most of the near-term damage runs through rule-making rather than statute, and that a 52-seat Senate is the number that stalls it. Nick’s demand is narrower and harder — have the bills, the nominees, and the Supreme Court list written before you win, and stop calling it courage when a politician simply does the job.

    This conversation is entirely about impact vs intent — and taking ownership and accountability for that impact no matter the intent. Intelligent humaning is the refusal to outsource accountability onto others, and the discipline to live with the consequences of your actions and values. So we are owning that accountability. As we end the discussion, we point out a serious attack on the disabled Veteran community — specifically targeting the VFW.
