Not ambitious enough; but good to see specific resource allocation: a C+ “The Albanese government has finally set a 2035 climate course – and it’s a mission Australia must accept” theconversation.com/the-albanese...

That’s at the very costly end (over $100K / life year) of ”cost-effectiveness” and based on one model. I doubt that most prevention guidelines would not think this screening justified.

The unwelcome txts from Clive Palmers mini-MAGA - “Trumpet of Patriots” - have been getting more annoying and incessant, so very pleased you’re organising some response. Tried blocking but that didn’t work.

The 3 numbers are derived from multiple sources, listed in the first paragraph. They are a best approximation as no single study can provide these across all health care sectors.

A cuckoo in my email? Got an anti-vax & climate change denying email pretending to be from “YaleUniversity” but the address shows its fake - the anti-mRNA vaccine is bad, and the climate nonsense is from the “Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel)” www.desmog.com/climate-inte...

Good news for less invasive treatment: for DCIS (early breast cancer), COMET RCT found active monitoring was not inferior to immediate surgery (from @jama.com ) but await longer follow cdn.jamanetwork.com/ama/content_...

Good idea (and should do for non-drug trials too!) - I think the preprint route (or F1000 model) is more feasible than journal route in Stage 1.

Some are not easy, eg “BP in both arms” took my clinic weeks to work out how. Finally bought two identical automated BP machines for hypertension nurse to do simultaneous measures (pic) at first visit & add alert if a difference > 5mm Hg.

Interesting 2024 survey findings by @pewresearch.org but particularly notable is “almost 4 in 10 US adults under 30 get there news from social influencers” - given that Meta/Twitter inhibit news links :-(

Maybe show them to the economics of renewables (costs dropping faster than Moore’s law), which will make the switch financially inevitable (even with some road bumps from the ignorant & greedy). cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_ful...

That’s economic stupidity - renewable prices are now competitive and continue to plummet rapidly.

Optimistic take on the unstoppability of climate action despite Trump. I’d add the incredible rate at which renewable costs are plummeting (cf Moore’s Law).
