The final University of York study the Cass Report was based on has finally come out and - surprise!! - it mostly contradicts the findings and recommendations of the Cass Report. Kids w gender dysphoria had same rates of mental health issues as control group.

There's been a lot of noise recently about the idea that COVID-19 vaccines are causing immune damage. Some rather woeful commentators have even used the term AIDS. My new piece explains why this is gibberish based on bad science. medium.com/p/536d03ebcd96

Measles Is Dangerous medium.com/p/measles-is-d… by Health Nerd The long-disproven myth the MMR vaccine causes autism "used to be popular mostly in the bizarre corners of the internet." But "it has become mainstream due to RFK Jr. & the current U.S. government endorsing it."

Measles is an incredibly infectious disease. Even minor dips in vaccination rates can cause big outbreaks. I wrote about why this is, and why I'd expect the U.S. measles epidemic to continue to grow. medium.com/p/c5005160a23f

Biden has prostate cancer. Should you get a test? Maybe. The data is very mixed, and for men his age screening is not even recommended without symptoms. medium.com/p/76078d2f1788

Recent headlines have been fearmongering about pesticides in tampons. Turns out, the data shows that there is nothing to worry about. The amount of glyphosate (not a pesticide) in tampons was actually vanishingly low. medium.com/p/dc7bacb8c5d7

There have been some incredibly misleading headlines about metformin for older women's longevity recently. Turns out they are based on some very meagre data. My new piece: gidmk.medium.com/can-metformin-…

I've never written about pandemic origins, because as someone with no stake in the discussion I never really cared one way or the other. But since people being disastrously wrong, here's my opinion about why COVID-19 was almost certainly not a lab leak gidmk.medium.com/pandemic-revis…
