Will this be the death knell for Alzheimer’s monoclonal antibody treatments 🤔
Preprint on #Alzheimers drug deaths ignites dispute among authors
“Infighting among a group of prominent Alzheimer’s disease researchers has led to the withdrawal of a preprint they co-authored, which suggested a new Alzheimer’s drug markedly increases the risk of death. One scientist involved in the work charges the senior author failed to seek the go-ahead from his co-authors before posting an edited version of the article to a preprint server.”

Trump’s attack on the enemy within will delight America’s real foes
“The American military, the country’s leading universities, the Federal Reserve, the justice system, the free press, the scientific establishment, even the health of American citizens are all at risk. The president-elect has nominated vengeful crackpots to key positions and promised to let people like Robert F Kennedy Jr “go wild”.

I would like to use Bluesky. They’ve done a bunch of seriously interesting technical work on moderation and ranking that I truly admire, and I’ve got lots of friends there who really enjoy it.
But I’m not on Bluesky and I don’t have any plans to join it anytime soon. I wrote about this in 2023: I will never again devote my energies to building up an audience on a platform whose management can sever my relationship to that audience at will

Trump Transition Chair Blurts Out Plan to End All Vaccines
“In the interview, Lutnick calmly repeated a series of vaccine-skeptic talking points
He did not even limit his vaccine skepticism to the #COVID- #vaccine, which is safe and effective, but to all vaccines, which he painted as unregulated, dangerous, and part of a for-profit conspiracy between the pharmaceutical industry and the gov.
…Kennedy decides they are not safe, which he already has, the #FDA could pull approval”

Tesla's robots and self-driving cars vs. the world
As #Musk tells it, there are 7 million Tesla robotaxis already on the road today, and humanoid robots will soon do "anything you want" — mow the lawn, buy groceries or walk the dog.
Reality check: Such pronouncements have helped fuel the #AI revolution and driven up #Tesla's stock price — but in fact, Tesla's cars can't drive themselves, and its #Optimus #robots, which wowed attendees at a recent event, still need help from human operators
Other companies that are working on similar technologies are giving the world a more realistic roadmap of what to expect

The fourth Estate has failed us.
“When major newspapers like The #WashingtonPost and The #LosAngelesTimes refuse to endorse a candidate in an election with so much at stake, it’s clear something is broken.
The voices guiding our country’s most trusted institutions are being silenced—not by the editors and journalists who work to keep us informed, but by #billionaire owners, dictating the limits of our discourse out of fear that Trump might win.”

Is Trump OK? He cancels yet another virtual town hall 🤔
Dementia setting in? Can't take the heat?
I think it's his 7th cancellation!
"Trump was scheduled to appear at a virtual town hall with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) today at 2 p.m. — but it was canceled, with the organizers citing "changes in #Trump’s schedule."
This event is the most recent cancellation in a string of media events that the former president has withdrawn from. #Trump pulled out of interviews with the Shade Room, #60Minutes, #NBC and #CNBC. He also recently cut a town hall event short.”

What (Really) Happens If #Trump Wins?

By March, she notes, the concentration camp #Dachau was open. Its first prisoners were not Jews, but rather Hitler’s prominent political opponents. By April, #Jews had been purged from the civil service, and opposition political parties were illegal. By May, labor unions were banned and students were…

Say you're in a room with 400 people.
- 36 don't have health insurance.
- 48 live in poverty.
- 85 are illiterate.
- 90 have untreated mental illnesses.
And everyday, at least 1 person is shot.
And 2 are trans so you decide ruining their lives is a priority.
That is what's happening right now.

—A nasal #vaccine (2 doses) blocked infections for at least 3 months and was effective across 10 different variants

“#Wallnau’s ideas have taken off in particular among a group of Christians often referred to as #NeoCharismatics, evangelicals who speak in tongues and believe that the Holy Spirit has possessed them with supernatural gifts, including prophecy and healing; this religious cohort is also one of the fastest-growing segments of #Christianity in the US…four years after an election that many of these #Christian continue to think was stolen”
