F.D.A. issued an official notice saying that it was approving the tablet form of Leucovorin, a folinic acid supplement, as a treatment for autism.

Leucovorin is a form of vitamin B first used in the 1950s to treat the side effects of chemotherapy.

“The supplement should not be given universally and is not a cure for autism" — Dr. Karam Radwan, Director of the UChicago Medicine Neurodevelopmental Clinic.

Leucovorin is sold by Dr. Mehmet Oz’s supplement company iHerb; Dr. Oz holds a government position, overseeing the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

“This isn’t public health. It’s corruption dressed up as wellness.”

“Robert Citrone, a billionaire who founded the hedge fund Discovery Capital Management, has a decadeslong relationship with Bessent that’s gone unreported in the U.S. press.
[…]
Citrone lobbied Bessent to push for a bailout from the International Monetary Fund in April, as the country’s economic woes grew. Bessent then reportedly helped persuade the IMF to disburse $20 billion to Argentina, which still failed to stabilize its economy, thus setting the stage for America’s own $20 billion intervention.”
