Agreed that his ethnicity is a silly topic to be discussed, but calling Christopher Columbus a "slightly" relevant guy definitely feels like a stretch.

It's the few instances of new onset IBD and generally the GI side effects. I'm lucky enough to have a pretty solid GI system that I don't want to risk messing with. I get very anxious with medicine, and my ankylosing spondyli

amen. I've tried 3 tnf inhibitors that have not worked (and had negative side effects). Cosentyx (il 17a inhibitor) kinda scares me. I always like to keep my hopes that some better autoimmune treatments could come soon

Someone commented above, but Jonathan Haidt "the anxious generation" is a place to start for a deeper analysis on the issue. Here is part 1 of a 3 part series of posts of his. I can't speak to the correlations and study direc

I respectfully partially disagree. Sure, the term "rescue" is a bit over the top and evokes "Apollo 13" vibes. OTOH, Boeing has "$14.8bn in Pentagon contracts in 2022" [1]. Boeing has plane crash issues for yea

Why wouldn't a congress person in this instance do the opposite? Give a show of hand for sake of TV and voters. Say they voted one way, but then vote the way they might be lobbied/influenced to? The public votes of congress people

For what’s it’s worth, autoimmune drugs are amongst the highest grossing due to their cost. Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, MS all do have a lot of study. I wouldn’t say it’s enough, but I don’t think the prevalence of me/cfs alters a

I can't imagine any jurisdiction that tried this would see anything other than large companies prohibiting their software from being used in that jurisdiction. Any company that then grew large would quickly exit. Every iOS update requi

This is an unfair parallel, but it's like worrying about businesses who advertise on pornographic sites or on cigarette boxes. Allowing visibility to businesses who advertise on a certain platform could be judged (by society, law, and

it's very tough to say why, but the countries being referenced by this article as having improved the gender gap certainly have lower rates of reproduction. Whose to say good, bad, or why, but the correlation is present.

I agree that much is changing in cancer therapy, most promisingly around immunotherapies and other immune related strategies, but the 5 year survival rate change over decades is often attributed to earlier detection as opposed to improved t

Ed Witten is uncharacteristically brilliant and yet he (in my opinion) fell prey to the “masses” of physicists who clung to String theory despite its inability to yield results. Imo, that’s a counter example to your point. Thinking differen

Lol this metaphor perplexes me. I don't have strong COVID opinions, but I'm really confused by this metaphor, is the plane crash full on COVID? Planes are safer overall of course, but if you introduce the Bayesian prior of given:

I believe you are right in the spirit of people overreacting to gluten. However, there may be more mechanisms at play which create more than 2 categories (celiac and non celiac). (I added some links below). I only post this disagreement wit
