@talsmith.bsky.social Since you're apparently not old enough to remember: One of the many reasons we enacted Obamacare is because insurance companies were routinely kicking women off their insurance coverage once they were diagnosed with breast cancer.

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

Best comment on Jay Bhattacharya that I've read to date.
Motherfucker wrote one sloppy paper in April 2020 and instead of being like oops, shit, my bad, he has kept doubling down until now he's killing most promising medical technology of the past quarter century rather than going to therapy.

In light of today’s news about the National Cancer Institute announcing a 4% payline, it’s really important to communicate to people that the previous 10% payline was still effectively a lottery and the result of decades of underfunding the NIH. Paylines used to be 25%.

The death of 2 unvaccinated children from measles (deservedly) drew a lot of outrage & attention this spring.
Here's something the media completely missed.
253 children died from flu this season.
90% were unvaccinated.
The nat'l rate of kid's flu vax is less than 50%.
More outrage please!
