May want to watch SA. This is the single genetic change that has the potential to de attenuate clinical severity of covid to that of NL63 and dramatically reduce the frequency of LC. Or it becomes like the Feline and Porcine corona, and everyone melts from inside 🤣.

Mendelian Randomization works if the DAG (from wiki) holds true. These assumptions have probably held true in <10 studies since the inception of the method, all else is GIGO. "Z is the genetic variants, X is the exposure, Y is the outcome of interest, U are confounders."

Please give me all your dollars, all your electricity and the water because I can feel the AGI

Hear me out: Alien rebooted, but the crew of the USCSS Nostromo is starfaring overmedicated on Tylenol while doping on mRNA and other psychedelic vaccines. Do the Xenomorphs come out autistic after gestating inside the crew? There are so many possibilities in the acetaminophen/vaxx cosmos.

The tylenol-autism vs. vaccines-autism Twitter wars have just begun. Dear Lord, thank you for not rupturing me today so I can watch this reality's version of "The Hunger Games."

From @aziz0nomics on Twitter. But we knew this already, no?

Let's assume you are unconvinced by the analyses of observational data that acetaminophen use by the mother does not cause autism. Or you feel that probably the drug does not do so, but you dont want to commit. Is it ethical to randomize women to placebo/ pain vs analgesics?

Willard Rodger's 1982 American Sociological Review paper about estimatable effects in the Age Period and Cohort models competes favorably for the GOAT title in this space. I love the old papers - many rough (and some not so rough) diamonds in the making

All alien lifeform chittering eventually stops (and humans die shortly afterward)

The astelazine prophylactic trial for covid had a much more reliable outcome (twice a week PCR testing) than the IFN-a-b2 prophylactic trial (symptom driven PCR testing). The IFN intervention is more bioplausible, though, but with higher potential for side effects. Interesting

America we must have a serious, adult conversation about this abomination

If you are seeing patients with #CKM (cardiac, kidney, metabolic) syndrome, you should be aiming for (and justifying if you are not) the #ruleof10: 10mg of each of Ramipril, Empagliflozin, Finerenone, Rosuvastatin, Ezetimibe, Tirzepatide for your patients (or equivalent doses of similar drugs).

Sometimes, you gotta let people touch the stove.

Not sure why this is such a difficult concept, but vaccines against RNA viruses need boosting. Hopefully, the RSV vaxx does the relevant studies

Doing modules at the car repair shop. Some are funny until you realize that they are the result of a moron asshole behaving like a total dick decades ago, forcing Congress to take action that resulted into the mandatory module being created.

So, the Cuban studies reporting near complete block of #SARSCOV2 / #COVID19 infection after high-risk exposures with 1M units may have been valid after all. 40k units were used once a day and cut infections by 40% 👇 […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

So, they are asking for a prescription now for the covid vaxx. I tried to order through Walgreens and got the "prescriprion required". This is technically a change in the label. Trying to schedule through CVS gives me a different message (I put an age younger than 65 in both cases)
