"…as of July 2025, the CDC made tracking cyclospora optional, as part of scaling back its Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network. At the time, food safety experts worried that it could make it harder to identify and respond to outbreaks."

We are surrounded by data. Most of it can be used to misinform people, while very little of it can be used to inform. The data that *can* be used to inform is usually generated through a protocol designed to inform specific questions, and under what assumptions. That's what a study design is imo. 2c

Omg. FIFA might do the Monty Python bit.

Jordan Henderson with 0 minutes played one yellow card and a broken arm might be the single greatest statline in WC history

I want red cards for stalling.

Shady red card begets shady de-suspension

If fifa wants a competitive tournament; they'd have ronaldo serve the balogun suspension.

I'd red card this.

Congrats on optimizing meaningless metrics.

Part of me wonders if Germany is relieved that they don't have to get ko'd by France.

Is it cake?

And @nejm.org retracts ADVOCATE based on the FDA uncovering and 2 academic authors asking for article to be pulled. (Good on them!) www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/... h/t @drjmluther.bsky.social #Avacopan #vasculitis

That summerhill dude is exceptional.

Well that was effective.

I'll go out on a limb and say germany just wasn't bery good.

The paraguay fall downs have lost my support.

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

And PAGER is up. Very likely more than 1,000 dead from this earthquake and likely in the 10,000 range. Damage estimates in the $10+ billion range, 2% to 20% of Venezuela's GDP. Shit.

Scotland forgetting/ignoring the two Basic Rules of Football for Weaker Teams: 1. DECREASE the chance of CONCEDING a goal by HOOFING IT out from the back 2. INCREASE the chance of SCORING a goal by PUTTING IT IN THE MIXER

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

HAHAHAhaha! they're making the world's biggest synthetic scum pond!!! The coating is a polyurea used inside pipes. It gels in about 3 seconds, making it non self-leveling. The texture is like an orange peel, the perfect substrate for biofilms. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

This is outstanding; telephone should go down! Just shows how insufficient old systems were. The systems need to learn to manage this (ie present system isn't).

ADA leaders were forcibly removed from their own meeting for sharing copies of an ADA OpEd critical of Jay Bhattacharya. Thanks to you it's now got >125,000 views. As CDC interim director, Jay also blocked publication of this paper because it showed that COVID vaccines work. You know what to do.

Besides the fact that he didn’t vandalize anything, the 3-time Olympian is 67 years old and has been retired from competition for 24 years.

This is exactly what doctors would do as patients to get what they see as preferred treatment. btw: this thread is great. It's funny how often the medical care system see's itself as the ends rather than a means.

turns out being deliberately antagonistic towards the people who elected you in order to court people who would under no circumstances ever vote for you is not smart

Observational evidence can be deeply misleading in health settings. In our study of workplace wellness programs, RCT and observational analyses reached opposite conclusions, despite having access to rich administrative data. www.nytimes.com/2018/08/06/u...
