There are 5 studies that show reduction of mortality for a 2nd booster (vs 1st booster), in people ranging from age 50+ to 80+, as I’ve tried to summarize here. All during Omicron and subvariants.

Un consiglio: se trovate un medico che vi consiglia di non vaccinarvi o di usare cure omeopatiche cambiate medico.

Il paziente è un soggetto che vuole essere pienamente informato sulle proprie condizioni di salute, sulle strategie diagnostico-terapeutiche disponibili e che deve poter scegliere autonomamente se e come curarsi. Marco Bo

Image fabrication is bad. But equally bad is the lack of willingness by scientific journals to seriously investigate these issues. Too many journal editors do not reply or are brushing away these concerns.

Writing tip: No unnecessary words, active verb: Not “It is important to acknowledge that there are no consensus criteria for the diagnosis” but “There exist no consensus criteria for the diagnosis”

The more I look under the hood of medical science, the more convinced I become that it is incompatible with profit motive and politics. It’s sad. I wish I didn’t feel this way.

The reason you “cry” when chopping onions is actually very simple. As the blade slices the fibers of the onion, it reminds you of the transience and futility of existence.

(Twitter knows that algorithmically generated trending topics make the world worse, and they have the resources to curate topics, but don’t want to because while they know it would increase the overall quality of human life, it would decrease engagement and therefore revenue.)

many instances where not doing research=more unethical+dangerous than doing research. However ‘doing research’ can entail low value organisational work++making to easier not to bother. So harmful poor practice continues- until regulators catch up, often years of damage later

If you find yourself thinking that maybe the fascists wouldn’t be winning if it weren’t for those weird trans kids and those angry woke activists and those feminists who are always going too far.

That thought, right there, is the reason the fascists are winning.
