Tja zeg, wat een idioten die farmaceuten. Elke keer proberen nieuwe geneesmiddelen te ontwikkelen voor een ziekte die vaak niet goed te behandelen is. Blijkbaar kan professor de Boer van te voren voorspellen hoe succesvol een nieuw molecuul is.

De farmaceutische industrie ontwikkelt voortdurend nieuwe darmmedicijnen. Wat hebben patiënten daaraan? „Je zou moeten kijken of het beter werkt dan de bestaande medicatie. En dan is het antwoord dus: niet of nauwelijks.”

the Dutch are about to get a new government which is centrist, liberal, non-populist, respectful of minorities, fiscally sensible, anti climate change, pro-EU, anti Putin.
In the current climate that is not a small thing. People should be glad and stop complaining!

Met all respect voor radiologen, maar dit lijkt me de doodsteek voor hun traditionele rol.
The largest randomized trial of medical A.I.
—Over 100,000 women in Sweden
—radiologist + AI vs 2 radiologists, in follow-up
—AI added led to 29% more cancer detected, 44% reduced workload, and
—Less cancer dx in subsequent 2 years, and, when found, less aggressive

A one-shot gene therapy to make a lifetime's worth of GLP-1 (like Ozempic) @FractylHealth. But it requires direct injection to the pancreas and there are lots of unknowns. A clinical trial is starting soon.

One of the things I was most worried about is starting to come to fruition.

RFK Jr. will succeed in eliminating all of our vaccines if allowed to remain in office. His disinformation campaign and the falling demand for vaccines will cause American companies to stop making them.

The Netherlands is back at stage 1 of the cycle:

New populist party created -> gets saturation media coverage implying they’re very fresh and clever -> party wins lots of votes -> it becomes clear that party is not in fact fresh and clever but weird and incompetent -> party implodes

And repeat
Net als gisteravond Markuszower bij @pauwendewit.bsky.social het podium kreeg, krijgen nu twee andere extreemrechtse ex-pvv-ers dat bij #Eva. Yes, we helpen weer een nieuwe enge partij de peilingen in!

Zoals G. Orwell schreef: grootste gevaar voor democratie is luie journalistiek.

Hopeloos dit..

Die pil is er nog lang niet, komt er waarschijnlijk ook niet en het is nog lang niet bewezen dat die minder bijwerkingen heeft. Daarvoor moet zeer langdurig uitgebreid onderzoek gedaan worden. Erg misleidend allemaal.

The country that really is looking pathetic is the United States.
At Davos, Governor Gavin Newsom said European leaders were “complicit” and “pathetic” in how they handle President Trump, adding that he should have “brought a bunch of knee pads for them.”

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

Al die mensen die op partijen stemmen met in deze peiling 4 of minder zetels: hou daarmee op. Het maakt het land onbestuurbaar. Denk pragmatisch in plaats van principieel.

Interessant idee, maar het Amerikaanse EliLilly maakt dit soort afslankmiddelen ook en ze zijn waarschijnlijk zelfs beter dan de Deense medicijnen.
Honestly all Denmark needs to do is to withdraw all Ozempic exports to the US and Americans will finally revolt

Who is going to tell him that you cannot put tariffs on individual EU countries?
Trump just placed a tariff on most of the EU of 10% that will increase to 25% in June unless they agree to sell him Greenland.

This is mad king shit.
