Sounds fascinating. Are there real-world examples of malicious compilers?

Germans tend to take on very low levels of debt (speaking broadly). There are lots of hypotheses about the psychology behind it: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-31369185

It’s really hard to know what to make of this data without a control arm. The patient selection becomes key to estimating the effect of on the outcomes, but the patients were not all extremely sick to start, and the patient inclusion criter

This does not seem to be a WHO study, as far as I can tell?

They have 2,000 engineers, not 2,000 employees. Employees are like 13,000.

I see these numbers sometimes and it’s a bit staggering. Why does AirBNB need 2000 engineers to display houses for rent in two phone apps and website? Kind of amazing. There are entire companies that successfully run far more complex busine

Are you or are you not intimating that people should take fucking garlic supplements for COVID? You have claimed 1) there is plausible evidence for garlic (no) 2) garlic is a widely used medicine (no) On the basis of those claims it is qui

Sorry but just no. It is not a "medical" treatment unless it treats, prevents, or otherwise modifies some actual disease or state of health. I agree it is important to know what ridiculous, non-evidence-based dietary supplements p

I can’t tell if this is a troll or not. It is listed below echinacea and cranberry pills (two supplements with substantial evidence for NON-efficacy) on the National Institute for Complementary and Alternative Medicine’s ranking of SUPPLEME

I understand that. That said, any physician who sees a patient taking 4g of acetaminophen a day chronically is going to tell them to reduce their dosage, switch to another drug, or stop. It’s not safe in the long run.

I have lost track of the point of this conversation. If you think acetaminophen is qualitatively the same as warfarin or lithium, you need to go to med school.

In case you have been reading a different post, there are innumerable people who are totally confident chloroquine works for COVID-19 and that sufficient evidence already exists. Such as you, a few posts higher in this chain. That view is “

Please let me and the CDC know of these well-conducted trials of chloroquine for COVID. I take it you are not familiar with epidemiology, clinical evaluation of drug efficacy, or medical statistics. That’s fine! No one is saying you need to

Actually they rarely translate. Chloroquine is a particularly funny example because they have already tried it as an antiviral drug several times without any efficacy.
200.
by et2o 7y ago
Sorry, this is just not true. The in-vitro results for chloroquine as an antiviral have been positive for many viruses, but it has never worked out in RCTs. Claiming there is good evidence from in-vivo studies is scientifically illiterate.
201.
by et2o 7y ago
They are doing clinical trials for it in COVID, so those will reveal its efficacy. The FDA, CDC, and WHO’s position is the same as mine.

Almost no one should be taking 4g of acetaminophen a day. That’s definitely going to be toxic given enough time. It doesn’t belong in convo with other drugs because it requires far less monitoring. It’s also not taken chronically like the o

These types of drug screens rarely produce good results and you need to take things with a huge grain of salt. People in the field know this.

Your information is wrong and misleading. It’s irresponsible for you to post stuff like this.

This is insane. Garlic and beet root are not used medically for any disease at all, let alone COVID. NO evidence is pretty weak for COVID. Even if it was true, we’d give NO or other related compounds and certainly not unregulated dietary su

There is NOT good RCT evidence for the efficacy of chloroquine for COVID —— Medical Professional Stop acting like there is. It’s insane at this point. It might work, but frankly it’s unlikely given the history of chloroquine’s failures as a

Actually there is extremely weak to none evidence for its efficacy in COVID. One terrible French clinical trial.

People taking warfarin literally have serum levels measured frequently. Typically lithium and valproate too. TCAs barely used any longer. Acetaminophen doesn’t belong in this conversation with the other drugs.

I think the extensive and permissive rebooking offers are COVID related.
