Less than 1/2.

That was said tongue in cheek I suspect.

In an experiment, Pew Research Center demonstrated that opt-in and probability-based surveys produced very different results about young adults' views of the Holocaust and abortion.

If you encounter what seems like an implausible survey finding, ask:
1. Were survey respondents selected randomly or was this an opt-in poll?
2. Could the results, especially for young adults, be driven by bogus respondents?

It's too bad about the stethoscope.

This is why I hate the trump talking point that the US military protects us.

1/n I don’t understand the new Dept HHS assertion that childhood vaccines weren’t tested in placebo-controlled trials. That’s simply not true. I did a quick (non-exhaustive) PubMed search and they came up pretty quickly. For example here’s MMR

A riding with 12% indigenous people represented by an individual who has stated that residential schools were "asked for by indigenous bands", what could possibly go wrong? www.aptnnews.ca/national-new...

As long as our provinces and regulatory colleges are nimble in responding in a way that welcomes American physicians and rapidly allows them licensure.

I think that graph may look a little different when it extends to 2026 considering what is and will be happening to health care and research in the US.

The mice seem to have caught toxoplasmosis.

That would be weird. It depends on the source but usually the meat has significant fat content. Typically you simmer the meat scraps with some salt in the water. (The salt helps to pull proteins into the water). I would usually separate out and discard fat and bones and what remains is stock.

"Czar" is a powerful word. One of the "best" words.

The effects of climate change not a concern?

I'm gonna share this cartoon again simply because Jeff Bezos' Washington Post tried to censor it.

So, you may ask, why do I get so angry about the new liberal spin on RFK Jr, as in, "he gets some things right, so let's collaborate on those" or "we have to work with him because he has a huge following we need to reach"? Because I've seen this movie before. 1/
