this is legitimately evil
Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."

Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.

Ethical violation as POLICY.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr will require all new vaccines to undergo placebo testing, WaPo reports
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr intends to shift the way vaccines are tested, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing a spokesperson from the HHS.

Dammit. I hate to hear this news. A damn fine actor and artist who simply exuded cool and lived life his own way. It was so good to see him again in Top Gun: Maverick. He’ll be greatly missed.

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

You wouldn't know from reading this New York Times story about Trump punishing the University of Pennsylvania for trans athletes that there are no trans athletes on women's teams at the University of Pennsylvania because the New York Times didn't find that detail worth including

Reagan is a prime example of why saying "it's only 4/8 years" is bullshit. Reagan has been f*cking the country for over 40 years & from beyond the grave.
once again I have to invoke the specter of Ronald Wilson Reagan, who is in Hell now. under Reagan, the term "government spending" was effectively demonized. fuck you, Reaganite ghouls! spending money, on its people and their needs, is the function of government! public works are good! say so!

I use Libro.fm for audiobooks! Much more satisfying to give my audiobook money to indie bookstores instead of billionaire-owned megacorps. Highly recommend!

Old Growth Alchemy has a gorgeous new tea blend inspired by The Starless Sea, with notes of lemon and vanilla and smoke (best, of course, when served with honey). It is rich and complex and it shimmers, too. 🐝 🫖 🖤 www.oldgrowthalchemy.com/collections/...
