What makes this even worse is that one key principle in responsible drug development is that safety takes greater priority, and so even marginal safety signals need to be taken very seriously, when you’re dealing with a medicine that 1) treats a less serious condition and 2) treats a larger population.
For example, if you have a treatment for a rare, very fatal cancer that only 100 people nationwide have, then a 1.7% imbalance in serious adverse events means about 2 extra people nationwide end up in the hospital or at risk of death from a side effect, and those people were on death’s door to begin with - you’re probably willing to roll the dice on that safety risk to get the benefit of treatment when the alternative is certain death from cancer.
And then on the other extreme, where we are here, where you’ve got a medicinal product that’s going to be given to millions of healthy babies who don’t even have an illness, to protect them against an illness that they’ll likely never get, and that is still pretty survivable if they get it, then a 1.7% imbalance in SAEs means tens of thousands of hospitalized / dead babies, for the very marginal benefit of protecting them against something they don’t have, probably won’t ever get, and could probably survive in the unlikely event they get it.
That’s what pissed me off so much about the Covid vaccines. This whole principle, which is embedded in the broader principle of balancing likely treatment benefits against risks, went out the fucking window because we live in clown world now and Pfizer needed to hit its profit targets.
His doctor is either on the take from Novo Nordisk (the company that makes Ozempic) if he’s dependent on research grants, or else he’s trying to fuck his Ozempic sales rep.
More “chosen”, even
I’m mostly just curious to see what the NPC software update on Musk will be. Will he magically no longer be a Nazi?
Oh bloimey, learn to code, guv’nah!
You’re not entitled to favors from men, sweaty
lol hilarious. I know nothing about gaming (just hate SJWs), so I was wondering what all the commotion about this guy was.
What did this dude do?
Oh my god, yeah, the real shame is that this happened after he died

Halls of fame are all kind of artificial constructed bullshit. In that sense, none of this matters. Pete Rose was one of the greatest baseball players ever, whether or not the league acknowledges it, and whether or not a bunch of sportswriter dorks formalize it via their vote.

That said, I get the freakout over gambling on your own team. Doing so undermines the legitimacy of the competition, and a legitimate competition is what you’re selling to paying customers.

On the other hand, Pete Rose seems like a cool dude.

In any case, he’s already in the only hall of fame that matters (WWE)
I wouldn’t expect this idiot to know how to hold a hockey stick, but what’s more alarming is that her entire staff was also too retarded to know how to hold a hockey stick and correct her so that they could take a photo where she didn’t look hopelessly out of touch

Glad he could take time out from his busy schedule of fucking kids to register this opinion
Just as the cherry on the shit sundae, “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me” is a fucking crime against humanity. Setting aside the political slant, the disconnect between how desperately unfunny and ham-handed the attempts at humor are and how fucking brilliantly clever and witty the participants and fans think it is makes me want to put my fist through a wall.
My wife’s friends once tried to get her to go to a live taping of it. I told her I’d rather get a blood transfusion from Charlie Sheen than sit through that.
Stop buying funkpops, dipshit. Problem solved.
Considering that I work with multiple Ivy League scientists, MDs, and MBAs who can’t do basic fucking math, I’d say the ship sailed on this a long fucking time ago
Where I work, it’s mostly background noise that can be tuned out. There’s lots of lip service to woke shit, and we have a DEI team that’s effectively stealing money from the company, along with maybe another 10% of the company that’s in ostensibly useful functions who actually don’t do shit other than post about their front holes or whatever on social media…but there’s nothing mandatory if you don’t want to participate in it, and so far no one has tried to push me toward hiring any specific demographic…so mostly DEI is just kind of an annoying money pit but at least doesn’t fuck with my day to day work
Man, that Jack Black is everywhere these days
No shit the Catholic Church is a corrupt globalist organization. That doesn’t change the fact that the boomercons who fucked (and continue to fuck) America are Protestants who don’t care about anything other than killing every golden goose in sight and supporting our greatest ally, so stop acting like your shit doesn’t stink, you fucking tard.
No true Protestant, got it. You may want to extend the same grace to Catholics instead of just assuming they’re all satan worshipping communists based on some autistically literal interpretation of Catholic doctrine.
I think I’ll stay here, thanks. Keep sucking that circumcised dick, though, and don’t forget to look Moishe in the eye when you do.
There isn’t a better country, dumbfuck. But it was better still before the protestards in charge totally overplayed their hand.
“Oooohhhh, Shlomo Shekelberg can make an extra billionth of a penny on every widget if he moves his factory to China! Let me sign a retarded-ass trade agreement and rape America to make that happen.”
-Literally ever US president (all Protestants) from 1970 to 2016
“Oooh, if I send a bunch of working-class kids to their death into a desert shithole meat grinder for oUr GrEaTeSt AlLy, maybe it’ll trigger the End Times and we’ll all go to heaven.”
-Most US presidents (all Protestants) from 1990 to 2016
How’s America doing after 250 years of Protestant rule? You guys suck at least as bad as the Catholics. Hey, maybe if you start another desert war, then the rapture will happen and you’ll go to heaven.
Also, two words for you: Eternal security. We have that to thank for all the Christ thots running around these days squawking and behaving like a bunch of morons.
