Population health scientist and demographer. Science thrives on honesty, honor,and commitment to others. Cat dad to two girls who are vying for the record of the longest lived cats.
I’m curious what Dems think the response should be to a party that will starve Americans, destroy airlines, create bankruptcies and willingly kill thousands of Americans. It’s not your mom and pop’s GOP. The barbarians are at the gates.

I’m so sorry about your grandma. Dementia is one of the most socially malleable conditions out there. Her onset could be due to a myriad of exposures as well as genetic risk.

I didn’t mind the repeat visit. It’s the mom’s encouragement that took me aback somewhat. 😂

I love their formalism. But ignoring decades of work in other fields is not acceptable. A google scholar search will reveal this. Once an economist wrote a paper based on my work. I told him the editor wouldn’t allow him to cite me. He didn’t believe me. I was right and he was stunned. I wasn’t.

Nothing in social science is real until an economist says it. Just ask sociologists and psychologists. As a former social science journal editor, I can attest that the sin is quite common.

Before he left, he confessed that he was a polio survivor. It was evident as he walked out of the bar. Yes, we had a lot in common when it came to vaccines.

A brilliant summary. Thanks.

You deserve kudos for being able to watch this train wreck. I'm low on prozac so avoiding the news media coverage of the vaccines. Got my jab yesterday, and my poor pharmacist was crazy busy giving other folks the jab yesterday too. Clearly, at least some Americans are worried as hell.

I so agree with you. It’s almost palpable.

Finally, a UA pilot on my last flight commented about the significance of today. He lost 2 friends who were pilots of the UA flights that crashed that day. I’m really glad he said something.

It’s shocking isn’t it? I suspect that people actually care more about their pets than they do about kids. A sad state of affairs. Especially for people who are pushing higher fertility.

I continue to have a hard time why Evangelicals and Republicans consciously choose to harm people’s health. That makes my head spin too
