The most bizarre thing about the COVID School Closure Discourse is how commentators take it for granted that closing schools had no effect on transmission or deaths but that's not at all what the evidence says.

This is based on bad science. None of the claims they’re making are based on legitimate work. Polygenic scores do not work like this

I had an explicit career goal to either use a comercial role or simply age out of the NIH grant system. I want younger scientists to preferentially use those resources. Now with DOGE/RFK catastrophe I urge late career scientists to creatively contemplate new roles for themselves.

We previously reported a novel recessive pediatric neurodegenerative disorder linked to BORCS8. Now, we identify another BORC complex subunit, BORCS5, as a new disease gene causing a broader neurodevelopmental & neurodegenerative spectrum with clear genotype–phenotype correlation.

#medsky #episky 🧪 #pedsky #idsky Here's why HHS's demand for all new vaccines to be approved by placebo-controlled trials is actually profoundly unethical and jeopardizes all vaccines requiring rapid updates to cover pathogens that evolve quickly open.substack.com/pub/deplatfo...

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise." Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically why vaccine trials don't use placebo arms. Ethical violation as POLICY.
