Just occurred to me how funny it will be if/when the AI this administration loves gets good enough, it will identify vaccines as the best vehicle for population health and “discover” mRNA vaccine technologies
Enabled by NIH support, mRNA Covid-19 vaccines were 'Decades in the Making' & helped saved millions of lives.
Why wouldn't NIH share the history of its long-term investment in mRNA vaccine research with the world?
For now, access from abroad yields: 403 Forbidden

The most useful thing I ever learned on social media is the incredible culinary gains from microwaving things at 50% power
The microwave makes a solid baked potato, as much as it hurts to admit it

The real magic of AI is that it caused everyone to forget the fundamental principles that govern how we probabilistically learn about the world. Small n / curse of dimensionality / no validation on well curated data? No problem. Visit my C seed startup at AI dot ai 💸 💸

This is the back gate in my driveway which borders Camp Pendleton, I’ve circled the area where we see artillery drills. Does anyone have info about what time today USMC is shooting missiles over the 5 into this area? Want to make sure us and kids are away from home @mikelevin.org @governor.ca.gov

Our family spends around $75 per month on prescriptions. Did a quick plot to find out how much the 650% is going to save us and hell to the yes the pharmacy is about to *pay us* $412.50 per month

This person sounds funny and cool but I am definitely worried about the “baby in placenta” part
RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

The “fuck the law we’re putting Trump on a coin” thing is once again making me marvel at how many people apparently grew up without learning how to be grotesquely embarrassed

Obv not the most important thing right now, but I am continuously astounded that Google invests heavily to push incorrect AI slop to the top of search results. In this easily verifiable case, the season series is actually 3-3. Even their own counting of the 2-2 description is wrong!

These ACIP comments from the public are brutal 💀 Kulldork was so clearly unhappy to field them, citing that they are "required by law"

Periodically tuned into ACIP 🗑️ Repeated calls for placebo controlled RCTs.
Just shouting the obvious (🤡 ACIP excepted) into the void: we identify life-saving therapies through active control RCTs all the time. Eg effective therapies for cancer exist, we cannot withhold them to study new treatments.

Presumably Dr. Robert Malone gets out of bed each day, maybe showers or gets in his car or drinks water or eats food or exercises or even flies in a plane.
Does he demand a randomized clinical trial showing that there are zero possible adverse events to any of these actions?
