Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

One consequence of tolerating pseudoscience is that people die when its legitimatization becomes baked into our culture, health care systems, and institutions.

No, SARS-CoV-2 isn’t a little bit airborne. It’s not “situationally” airborne. It’s an AIRBORNE VIRUS, spreads via the air. I’m granting an amnesty on people who said (5y ago) that it wasn’t. I won’t say I told you so if you finally acknowledge the evidence. Let’s just get this right and move on.

This example couldn’t illustrate more effectively the costly, inefficient madness of swapping triage by highly trained & skilled GPs with a whole cacophony of unnecessary scans, radiation, appointments & bureaucracy. If this is really Labour’s vision of the future NHS, it’s wildly misguided.

We possess the technology to create products that nearly never break. We were doing it in the 70's & 80's. Then came 'planned obsolescence' - intentionally designing products to become obsolete or break quickly within a set time frame. This is that- but in reverse.

Social care news today isn't a surprise. Labour has long signalled social care was not a priority. Before the election it was clear it was for the back end of the Parliament and into next election. But it doesn't match the strategy on NHS & moving care to the community. This will all be harder now.

"There is no solution to the crisis in the NHS that doesn’t include a solution for social care." Dismayed to see Wes Streeting acknowledge this - yet kick the issue into long grass with a commission that won't report until 2028. What hope for the NHS now? What hope for those needing care now?

Interesting (let’s see what the trial finds) but we’re already quite good at predicting diabetes (and cvd) risk. Doing something about it is another thing entirely. You’re asking people to battle against a food and physical environment that pushes them hard the other way.

There are plenty of examples of non-humans collectively 'acting' against their interests. The closest I can think of is the earliest photosynthesising organisms. They both poisoned their environment with what would then be toxic oxygen and reduced carbon dioxide so much that we had a Snowball Earth.

Climate science identified polar amplification via the potent ice-albedo feedback centuries ago & decades ago as an indication of anthropogenic GHG forcing. Permafrost melting, CH4 release & boreal wildfires are additional polar positive feedbacks now in play. 🧪🔌💡🌊 www.climate.gov/news-feature...
