Clinical Research, oenophile, the great outdoors, cruciverbalist, punner. I like cheese. And cake. But never together (no, it's not OK to eat wendsleydale with fruit cake).

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.

Yesterday - the same day RFK was sworn in as Trump’s Health Sec - the Louisiana Dept of Health’s top official sent a memo announcing the dept would “no longer promote mass vaccination.” This will kill men, women & especially children. It’s the triumph of conspiracist madness over science.

It's really quite a thing to realise that the LEAST problematic reason why you wouldn't care about diversity in clinical trial is that you have no idea what a clinical trial is for.

This is unbelievably stupid and makes clinical trial evidence worse for all. The reason is simple: clinical trial recruitment is hard, you nearly always get weird disproportionate participation. To counter that, you need active measures so trials can simulate YOU. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Perhaps you’re considering a January detox: herbal teas, mud baths and the like. By all means knock the booze on the head for a bit. But the rest of it? Total bollocks. Because you already have a liver and kidneys. Here’s something I wrote a while back. www.theguardian.com/global/2017/...

Room full of satire writers will struggle to find a funnier line that the BBC Newsreader just now saying “The Chinese approached Prince Andrew in the hope of finding intelligence’”
