"If we already have good reason to believe a treatment works, randomizing people to a placebo means knowingly denying them benefit. That’s not science. That’s harm in the name of methodological purity." This. 1000x.🔥 Going to forward to a local gang RCTing portable HEPA units. In hospital rooms.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
