Did you happen to bump into a lecture that does a better job than the McLean video. He was lecturing to people with more knowledge of the physics of aerodynamics than I have but was touching on things that never seemed adequately explained elsewhere. I'd really like to understand this better.
New from Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) and Verdant Research: We revisited our 2021 white paper on FDA's accelerated approval pathway.

Although there's been a lot of focus on how they combined trials of different drugs -- and it's reasonable to argue about this -- I think the bigger issue is that they treated a standardized mean difference as if it were a minimal clinically important difference. Jargony, but this is a problem.

Okay, but whom should we treat for LTBI? The guidelines that we should only test people who would be appropriate to treat doesn't match reality where many people tested are over 50 and likely were infected with TB when they were under age 5....

Would you consider calling for a national (or red state) health care providers strike?
Let's say I thought it was time to start organizing a physicians' job action in areas of some country where elected regional officials don't vote to prevent an unjustified war. How would I go about that?
So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...
This afternoon, retired Army general Stanley McChrystal spoke at the retirement ceremony hosted by HRC for six trans service members who were forced out under Trump’s ban.
“I shouldn’t have to be thanked for being here. First off, we shouldn’t be here. This shouldn’t be happening.”

I was very sad to learn of the passing of David Mitchell,
a cancer patient who turned his own battle into a fight to make medicines more affordable. Here, @pharmalot.bsky.social gets at why Mitchell was so special.

Case on point:
Take Back Primary Care
By William M. Tierney, MD
Despite being the largest medical specialty, primary care's in crisis. There's a national shortage of 20,000+ #PrimaryCare physicians, & more leaving the field b/c adverse #Healthcare system issues.

I have no clue how we get from our current medical system to a functional system with good care and reasonable costs. But the current system is breaking, so I suspect we will need to make major changes as things fail. Single payer UHC will be one of the options as we rebuild.
With the Brown/MIT shooting, I keep thinking about @acollierastro.bsky.social 's YouTube about physics crackpots and whether this is what was going on. Worth watching in any case.

I'm inappropriately proud of this. I usually can't spot these at all, and am never first. Got lucky with an early notification and a very easy duplication!
Bottom row, the first through third blots on the left are copied as the second through fourth blots on the right.
Humility and grace are really important parts of being a caregiver in any situation, but particularly in an unfolding pandemic.
There is no chance you'll be right all the time. Admit that, accept it, and don't criticize others who are trying to do the same, even if you disagree with their choices.
concern that you would be wrong lead you to be unable to act. Many of the choices would be proven correct.
One of the parts of the COVID pandemic I've found most disheartening is the criticism some have gotten from other experts for being wrong some of the time.
I'd missed what I noted in the fall and winter of 2020 was an important similarity:
Things that you thought were true/correct/best care were proven wrong over and over.
And yet, you had to accept that you needed to provide what you believed to be the best care at the time and not let the
Great piece.
I got a similar question from an intern in mid March of 2020 as the situation began to unfold in Boston. He asked if I thought there was anything I'd learned during the AIDS pandemic that was applicable to COVID.
I told him that I thought the situations were very different.
But...
