Anger and frustration are understandably at fever pitch after the last 3 years.
Unable to get retribution, some take aim at the Malones. Does this remind you of the guy who gets beaten up by his boss, then comes home and kicks the dog? I went to Bobby Kennedy’s Presidential launch, which I will write about in the next post. But this post is not about that happy…
Metal on Metal Hips release two probable carcinogens and fail at rates 300% plus higher than other hip materials/ BMJ
One million Americans have received faulty hips, which continue to be promoted by manufacturers according to the British Medical Journal. The cobalt and chromium they release into local and distant tissues destroy muscle and bone and cause so-called genotoxicity, which may translate into cancer. Definitely worth a read of the whole article, but excerpts are…

Then and Now: Parallels and Lessons for COVID vaccines from the Anthrax vaccine program
In March of 2021, Dr. Simone Gold of AFLDS asked me to write weekly short articles on the parallels between the anthrax vaccine debacle twenty years earlier and the COVID vaccine debacle today, titled “Then and Now.” AFLDS was getting itself organized, used a lot of volunteer labor, and it never got around to setting…
More on health financing (NYT Blog): How Do Hospitals Get Paid? A Primer
Wonderful article by economist Uwe Reinhardt clarifying bizarre hospital charges and third-party reimbursements, and how much of the healthcare dollar they waste.

Yes, this is the one I was referencing in the post above this one (I am reading down the blog).
I didn't realize they took it down (though I surely realize why they did as it's horrible). I showed it to many physicians, nurses, and other public health professionals and after reading not a single one of them could tell me the difference between the two (because based on their reasoning herein, there isn't really a difference).
Actually, to be fair, there is a difference, but it's literally for about <1 second when tiny droplets are expelled into the air, evaporate, then become a germ floating in the air (which is CDC's definition of "airborne").
Also, here's that great MIT article on fluid dynamics showing that sneezes aerosolize and go 20 feet and get into ventilation systems if they're of a particular size.

A much bigger article needs to be written about all this…there's just so much misleading/confusing information going out.
