Again, from @CDCgov’s OWN data:

1 million mRNA Covid shots for teens will prevent

0-1 Covid deaths

and CAUSE

100,000-200,000 severe side effects.

Yes, you read that right.

@CDCgov The math: Moderna trial teen subjects had a 25% risk of Grade 3/4 adverse events if they received the shot, 5% for placebo.

For Pfizer, the rates were about 11% and 2% (Pfizer is a lower dose; why the placebo rates were different IDK.)

That's a gap of 0.09 to 0.2, x1MM shots
@CDCgov SOURCE (see pages 52, 65):

Professional leagues basically need to suspend most prop betting (that is, betting on individual players's statistics) and in-game betting, but they won't, because those bets make far more money for betting companies than the topline game spreads.
In-game and prop bets are more profitable for several reasons

1: Traditional sports bets take hours to resolve. In-game bets win or lose in seconds and facilitate loss-chasing.

2: Prop bets let the betting companies use their massive databases to set more favorable odds...
3: In-game and prop bets facilitate parlays (multiple simultaneous bets that win or lose as one bet), which have much larger payouts (sometimes lottery-like) but also offer a much larger and hidden house edge (because the house has an edge on EACH leg of a parlay)...

1/4: I increasingly think the crisis in American medicine is at the root of worsening societal cynicism and disgust on both left and right.

The US is the richest big nation by far, yet it has among the shortest life spans, and the gap is growing. Everyone sees this disaster...
2/4: Yet neither party has an answer. The left simply wants to pour in more government money for health-care "entrepreneurs" to take.

This dynamic blew up in the most toxic way possible with the opioid crisis, which showed Americans what we who covered Big Pharma already knew...
3/4: That the drug industry was fundamentally misaligned with human health, even as it made hundreds of billions of dollars supposedly promoting it.

This is true (perhaps to a somewhat lesser extent) in every corner of American medicine...

1/ No, I don't trust a Chinese company to produce "safe" AI.

But the DeepSeek breakthrough is fantastic for both practical and philosophical reasons.

Here's what I mean: we've never had a tech hype bubble bigger than AI - not even the early Internet...
2/ And a key element of the hype the huge complexity and expense of the systems these companies are building to produce AI.

We're gonna need a whole new electrical grid! But it'll be worth it, because reasons. We promise!
3/ The race for complexity and cost has taken on its own logic. You're paying a guy who writes transformer code $500,000? Screw it, we'll pay him $700,000! You're buying $20 billion in Nvidia chips this year? We'll go $30!

1/ How can you not understand this?

There aren't just longitudinal studies, there are longitudinal studies examining both causation and reverse causation (looking at use and psychosis over multiple periods to see if psychosis in N is causative for cannabis in N+1. It's not)...
2/ The associational data is incredibly strong, with unadjusted ratios on the order of 10x.

There is clear biological/cellular level data showing that THC use dysregulates the cannabinoid system and that heavy users have changes in brain morphology...
3/ Many cannabis users (and practically all heavy users) have some experience with cannabis paranoia - which looks a lot like prodromal psychosis, why is everyone laughing at me? This is so common users joke about it - and have strategies to deal with it...

How to lie under oath, a masterclass from Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the voice of Science itself

Part 1: Ralph Baric? Who dat? I barely even ever done heard of Ralph Baric, suh... Image
Part 2: Ralph Baric? Know Ralph Baric? Why never, detective, our paths may done crossed at sometime or other, at one of the many revivals I have the pleasure of attending -

But I don't know him, detective, most certainly not... Image
Part 3: A meetin', officuh? You're telling me me and Ralph Baric had a meetin'? At my own offices?

At the verrrah start of the tragic Covid epidemia?

As I live and breathe, it does so look like that. I cannot argue with you, for you represent the law in its majesty... Image
