Excited for this upcoming book publication by the great @charlespiller.bsky.social, about fraud in Alzheimer's research.

I was fortunate to read the preprint, and it is SOOOO good!

There will be several events in Washington DC and San Francisco, where Charles will introduce his book.

Quotation from Project 2025:  "Woke Policies. Under Francis Collins, NIH became so focused on the #MeToo movement that it refused to sponsor scientific conferences unless there were a cer- tain number of women panelists, which violates federal civil rights law against sex discrimination. This quota practice should be ended, and the NIH Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, which pushes such unlawful actions, should be abolished."

If you want an idea of what RFK Jr & Jay Bhattacharya will do to the NIH, the chapter of Project 2025 on the NIH gives you a decent idea

They will "END WOKE AT NIH"!

NO MORE GENDER EQUITY ON SCIENCE PANELS!

🍞 🧠 While >90% of ischemic strokes fall into traditional TOAST categories, the “Other” category hides critical diagnoses we can't afford to miss.

Let's explore the fascinating world of unusual ischemic stroke etiologies 🦓 every neurologist should know!👇

I was trying to find more in-depth information. I know how to depict data, but it’s more complicated than that. Color theory, for one. Certain color schemes can address color blindness as an example.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the effectiveness and perinatal outcomes of COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy - Nature Communications Pregnant women have been disproportionately under-vaccinated against COVID-19, partly because they were excluded from initial trials. This systematic review and meta-analysis supports efficacy of vacc...

As others are pointing out to you, the confidence interval crosses 1 in your cited study. And there are multiple studies in this area, enough to do a meta analysis. This one has 500K pregnancies. The risk of stillbirth was decreased by 15 %.

Why did the cat like the Ukulele bag so much?
Because it had a tuner inside.

Hi Ivan. 👋👋👋

Can everyone say hello to my lovely, lonely stalker Ivan? Poor poppet has no friends except a geriatric sexual harasser of young women, & a dubious GP.

We all support vaccine safety. He opposes vaccination and runs an organization dedicated to providing misinformation and disinformation about vaccine safety and efficacy.

His rhetoric on vaccines and his previous history does not indicate that he’s pro-life.
His actions leading to the Samoan measles outbreak, illustrate this. These deaths were preventable.

Vaccines are delivered in the muscle or subcutaneously. Most of the aluminum we consume is metabolized by the kidneys. This poses a problem in dialysis patients, but not for the vaccinated. Even dialysis patients can be safely vaccinated.

RFK jr must not be normalized. Healthy eating we already know how to manage — his agenda includes shutting down government regulations and vaccines. He should not be anywhere near the WH
