I don’t really understand all the panic. Haven’t you already lived through the last 10 years? One long exercise in insanity. This is more of the same. We will find our way through it. And maybe all for the better in the end. Either way, don’t run around with your head chopped

Next time you see one of these public health workers, thank them for the important work they do.

Look for politicians and commentators willing to consider evidence and act independently, especially against their own tribe. Our worst failures as a society stem from groupthink on the left and right. Seek truth, not popularity,

An editor in a JAMA journal claims that matching is not a valid approach to control for confounding factors??? Perhaps he should read the JAMA article that used exactly the same method to compare between Pfizer & Moderna vaccinees? BTW, the JAMA study finds that Pfizer

A great 9-minutes listen on how breakthroughs in research using BCG vaccine could help prevent and treat other illnesses such as diabetes, Alzheimer, asthma, and sepsis #NSEvac Many Canadian researchers involved in this research - expressing a wish for Canada to be a leading

In 2022, the NIH terminated a subaward to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. American taxpayers had for years been sending money there to fund dangerous gain of function research. Wuhan refused to turn over lab notebooks that the NIH demanded. 🧵1/5 thebulletin.org/2022/08/nih-to…

1. Doug Ford needs to sit down and shut up about tariff retaliation. The Canadian gov't paid for billboards in the US reading "tariffs are a tax on hardworking Americans." Those billboards are 100% correct. The logic behind them is universal---our retaliatory tariffs are taxes

I say the government shouldn't dictate which products that consumers can/cannot buy. If you want to boycott US liquor, that should be up to you as an individual consumer.

The US economy (and especially the stock market) mostly consists of services providers that aren't affected by tariffs at all. If you look at sectors that are impacted (e.g. carmakers), you see very clearly negative excess returns.
