I love FDG PET!

Too little too late, Senator Cassidy. The vaccine conspiracy-peddling horse is out of the barn and running roughshod across the nation's public health infrastructure.

I understand the broader point now having looked at the pubpeer post but still encouraged that they were able to replicate my early work on testomcelles in Ungala.

Maybe in his patriot count he's including the ~220k soldiers that were forced to march for Dear Leader's pleasure (plus 30k if we're being generous) who showed up to watch. Either way, this administration is always very dependable when it comes to crowd size estimates.

Outdated? Miasma theory was « outdated » in 1890. It would be more aptly described as a primitive, unscientific theory subscribed to mainly by a delusional HHS secretary and his uneducated followers.

Good, I guess, that it didn’t then reverse over the injured child mannequin to finish the job. Progress!

First 80% of this is actually remarkably compelling and affecting, like a higher-production-value Union of Concerned Scientists video but then RECORD SCRATCH she hits you with the inscrutable crazy.

Attention Senator Cassidy, (M.D.) ! Are you having any second thoughts about that promise from RFK Jr. of "unprecedented close collaboration". You recall, the promise that allowed you to swallow your professional misgivings and vote to approve him.

RFK Jr. has done a lot of « research » on vaccines so he probably doesn’t need so-called « expert » opinion. He also knows a thing or two about stem cells:

The whole system is nuts. I switched to Aetna from Blue Shield (?, hard to track) when Stanford « re-negotiated » benefits. I take money out of my paycheck to put in a health savings account run by Visa to pay for all the stuff Aetna doesn’t cover. Why is Visa mucking around in my health care? Nuts.

"I have some insights as to the potential of certain things that might happen". Doesn't sound like she was fully read in on this one.

Definitely don’t think Trump has dementia currently. Cognitive decline compared to his 1980s self, sure, but people with dementia can no longer handle their day-to-day affairs. Trump is selfish, mean, filled with dumb ideas and not as sharp as he was 20 years ago, but I don’t think he’s demented.

C) Many traits are highly heritable and don't reflect pathology (e.g. eye color). I don't consider ADHD to have a high associated mortality. I'd be surprised if any mortality fairly associated with ADHD has been shown to decline on stimulants. Defining morbidity is at the heart of the question here.

B) Agreed. BP is a tough comparator given that controlling high BP is strongly associated with reduced morbidity and mortality related to cardiovascular disease and stroke. The question is what endpoints are we treating in ADHD and do they merit the risks of stimulants.

A) Methamphetamine is FDA-approved for ADHD. Your point may be that this is not as commonly prescribed as other stimulants like amphetamine-derivatives (Adderall) or methylphenidate (Ritalin). Cold comfort given similar mechanisms and the fact that all have addiction/abuse potential.

Yes. On Stanford’s campus. This is the biggest mammal haul I’ve seen (pocket gopher I think).
