Nature turned up more information about James Pagano, MD than I did but I still haven't seen any evidence that contradicts my theory. bsky.app/profile/natu...

On a personal note the trial protocol was uploaded as a scanned PDF (not text searchable) so for the sake of everything else I was planning to do today I have to pause on trying to read about the investigators' approach to SAEs.

Interesting when you look at what was monitored – if I'm reading supplement correctly, ABG data were only analyzed for ~2500 patients, so occult or extreme hypoxemia even in a more racially diverse sample (but with all other trial characteristics the same) wouldn't necessarily be apparent

In my experience, physicians lose their goddamned minds and forget everything they know about the limitations of observational research as soon as ML is mentioned.

Jack, I'm just curious, what's your prior on this re: effect for Black patients?

I think we can agree that even if this is the world's foremost expert, best scientist of all time on PCBs, and a cool nice guy, it's not a qualification to serve on ACIP, and, again, it's an entirely different person than the one who was actually selected.

I didn't read the papers and have no opinion about them. I'm just noting it's interesting that the person named to ACIP does not appear to be an academic or leader of any kind, but someone with the same name (who could easily be mixed up with him) has published in a field of interest to RFK Jr.

There are many possible explanations for this, I am merely noticing one.

There is another James Pagano, the former director of the Environmental Research Center at SUNY Oswego.
*His* research output is not hard to find and often seems aligned with RFK Jr's interests.

There's a real James Pagano with medical licenses in California and Florida who trained at UCLA and is board certified by ABEM. Otherwise can't find anything about him (except what appears to be a home address, which I won't post).

If your observational study is not cheaper than an RCT, someone is committing fraud

I can't imagine why The New Yorker's social media account felt the need to resurrect this years old article except to infuriate me on a Friday afternoon.
