The opposite: COVID vaccines saved 3.2 million American lives, averted 18 million hospitalizations. Many well-conducted studies showing ivermectin does nothing for COVID. Ivermectin’s only role in the pandemic: To make money for the phony health/wellness industry/influencers

Advancing minimally invasive surgery is essential BUT I have seen many newly trained surgeons who are uncomfortable converting to an OPEN procedure when necessary. We can’t forget to train our new surgeons to first learn the essentials.

Finally found the dang password to this thing. Sorry y’all. What’d I miss?

Those "smart people" pick other fields because the learning curve to really understand how to model biology is very steep. It is extremely rare that someone can "engineer" their way to make serious progress on most problems in biology as compared to other applied domains.

Antibodies don't work. NLRP3 is by far the most studied inflammasome — yet <30% of commercial antibodies were specific. Only 4 of 14 tested antibodies detected NLRP3 specifically. Antibodies must be validated before use. Full report by YCharOS zenodo.org/records/116239…

“You can’t have science without scientists” 🎯

Hmmm. Interesting. Apparently someone at NIH realized that blowing up the research funding stream may actually affect the next generation of scientists? Wouldn’t hold my breath though so far based on all the other empiric evidence…

When two of the same experiment get different results in different hands, that often means some critical variable wasn’t controlled for when repeated and we have an incomplete understanding of important factors at play. As we gain understanding, these results can become less
