BTW, I published a paper in American Journal of Epidemiology outlining some of the most common fallacies that cause people to misunderstand observational data, or use observational data to mislead others with false claims.
It is now open access/freely available

Really is infuriating how we kept being told by Dems that there was nothing Biden could do about abortion or trans folks for years and now Trump is basically making himself king of the US via executive fiat.

What I love about Trump’s presidencies is that they make it hard to deny racism or misogyny.

For example, people argue they have high standards when questioning a Black woman’s Supreme Court candidate’s credentials but then support a falling down, drunk Fox News host to oversee the U.S. military.

I do find it GENUINELY funny when delusional establishment figures mourn the Republican party they USED to know, back when it was SANE, before MAGA, and just ignore that the two most MAGA Supreme Court Justices were appointed by George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush.

THEY. HAVE. ALWAYS. BEEN. THIS,

When measles vaccine rates plummeted in Samoa, health experts saw a looming crisis.

But RFK Jr. saw an opportunity to study the health of unvaccinated children.

“I can’t imagine anything less ethical or more cruel,” one expert said.
Experts saw Samoa's plunging vaccination rates as a crisis. RFK Jr. saw an opportunity.
New details show how Robert F. Kennedy Jr., then chair of an anti-vaccine group and now Trump’s pick for health secretary, sought to exploit a deadly vaccine accident.

Trans people are such a tiny tiny portion of our population. Why are they such a priority for this incoming administration?
President-elect Trump plans to sign executive orders proclaiming that the U.S. government will recognize only two sexes, male and female, and ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs inside federal agencies, according to incoming officials.
Trump to sign executive orders proclaiming there are only two biological sexes, halting diversity programs
The White House officials grouped both orders under the incoming Trump administration’s wider “restoring sanity” agenda.
