Imagine a world where there is no inherited or hidden wealth

The promise of all people being created equal will never happen as long as we have extreme dynastic wealth

Most of these ppl didn't earn these vast sums of money. It's all inherited or stolen.

theguardian.com/news/2021/oct/…
And there is so much political graft; politicians write loopholes.

I wonder how Kristi Noem is going to respond to this: "...state of South Dakota, in particular, is sheltering billions of dollars in wealth linked to individuals previously accused of serious financial crimes."
Corruption is theft from the citizens of a country. It is not a victimless crime. We are all the victims.
And businessmen who purchase political power to have the laws written in their favor are also stealing.

This is not victimless.

This is how the USA became such a big grifting ripoff that than more than half of Americans are living hand-to-mouth.

Reading Florence Nightingale's book, Notes on Hospitals, published in 1859, is just blowing me away.

She made many calculations, including how much water vapor patients exhaled overnight, and how much ventilation would be needed. And raised hell about it not being done. Image
Her interventions - improving ventilation, decreasing crowding, admitting natural light, washing surfaces -- cut hospital deaths by 2/3. This was WITHOUT hand washing, which wasn't even mentioned in her book.
Old hospitals built according to her specifications, using cross-breezes from large windows for natural ventilation, have much better ventilation than modern hospitals.

ACH = air changes per hour

So you can pay “$1,680*
* List price excluding taxes” to publish lies in the journal Toxicology Reports

Thanks @ElsevierConnect for absolutely NOT doing your job as a publisher.
I don’t even want to link to the article to avoid giving it coverage. JFHC
This this is rich. A lot of quality peer-reviewing going on when you can publish in 1.1 weeks. 😂

She is wrong, and I am so tired of these ID docs tweeting out hopium misinformation.
Do people not read the methods sections of papers, in order to interpret whether the results are applicable to a given situation? I just don't get it. This is basic stuff.

Not sure how anyone can read this @CIDRAP summary of the booster research and think that "booster" doses should be controversial. We risk wasting doses 1 & 2 if we don't give a 3rd. That additional dose is critical for continued protection.

Antibody levels from Pfizer vaccine with 3rd dose given 8-9 months after 2nd dose nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… Image
Decreasing antibody levels track with increased breakthrough infection. These data are pre-delta, so high antibody levels are likely to be far more important with delta, which spews 1000x-fold more virus. (not-yet-peer-reviewed preprint: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…) Image

I hope that the families of the vaccine hesitant who died figure out how badly they have been misled, and sues @VPrasadMDMPH and @UCSFMedicine for wrongful death.
What are the key elements of wrongful death? This law practice lays it out nicely bencrump.com/wrongful-death…
1. Negligence:

The young man did not get vaccinated as a result of exaggeration the dangers of vaccine-induced myocarditis, when clearly the disease is more dangerous. Prasad and his GBD colleagues, and by extension UCSF, are party to this Image

Tylenol is a problematic drug for so many reasons. usatoday.com/story/news/hea…
Liver toxicity is a significant concern, particularly among people who are acutely ill and not eating. If the liver is depleted of a detoxifying substance called glutathione, toxic metabolites can add up. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Also, it can cause rebound headaches. I figured this out in my early 20s on my own. I never take more than 325mg at a time. Other pain relievers have the same problem of triggering headaches if taken often.

Caffeine rebound is a huge trigger as well.
