These things haven't been around that long. Maybe hold off and try the "eat less move more" approach first.

HIV transmission could be halted almost entirely if there were enough political will to do so, steadily reducing the number of infected individuals over several decades.

But guess what? If you abandon those efforts entirely, for even a short time, the virus comes roaring right back, and decades of progress in suppressing it are lost. That is what we are facing now -- damage that we may not see undone in our lifetimes.

I have lost 3 very good friends to aggressive breast cancer under the age of 50 in the last 5 years.
One was 37 and the other two were in their 40s.
Two of them went to USC for grad school like I did.
I shouldn’t be losing young friends like this.

We got ours in May, no fuss!

Amazing they even caught it & recalled the eggs what with the gutting of all the agencies tasked to deal with food safety & outbreaks. Makes one wonder how well they'd catch an H5N1 outbreak into the food chain. They obviously missed quite a few eggs with just bacteria, to have 79 sick in 7 states.😬

Only if the eggs are cooked well done. Runny scrambled, soft boiled, & sunny side up/over easy are still able to cause infection. H5N1/Bird Flu is even harder to kill than salmonella so with all the egg laying houses being infected with Bird Flu, we're at high risk for that spreading into our foods.

Thanks. I got salmonella many years ago and had to be hospitalized. Definitely do not recommend.

Yes, and everyone is left to their own devices. May the odds be in our favor.

Cucumbers are a great, low-acid substrate for organisms like that. Mass production operations need to have strict micro monitoring in place to avoid making many people sick. I always grow my own when feasible.

This isn’t a game without consequences. My sister is like this - everyone else should get vaccinated so she doesn’t have to, other people should suffer so she doesn’t have to. It’s selfish and gambling with your child’s and your community’s health

It is crazy! When a plentiful safe vaccination can protect your children and yourself.

The non-lethal permanent damage from measles needs to be explained much more loudly for the people in the back.
But did you die?
No, but my weakened immune system left me vulnerable to being killed by other diseases for up to two years.

This is terrible. We stopped eating cucumbers last year when this happened here in PB county. They are now off the menu permanently unless I’m vacationing out of state. All this talk about self regulation is horse crap, no doubt we’ll be seeing things like this happening more and more.

A new FDA rule requiring farmers to conduct water safety assessments went into effect for large farms this spring.
“The rule really allows farmers to be regulating themselves,”

Typically, communities deal with free riders by treating as immoral their (game-theoretically rational) avoidance of small costs, thereby imposing larger costs on others. The shaming imposes an additional fee, thus "internalizing the externality."
comment in response to
post
The findings (mentioned near the end of the article) about community-minded framing, if true, suggest our intuitions about the efficacy of shaming are misleading and unproductive. How strong is that evidence? It's intriguing because it is counterintuitive. Anyone know? #PsySciSky #EconSky
