Fully vaccinated HCWs wearing n95s and face shields are catching delta.
This didn’t happen last year when they weren’t vaccinated.
Think about what that means for your cloth mask or surgical mask “mandates”
I believe history will record this
@naval
quote as atleast as important as anything by Johnson, Franklin or Wilde “Bitcoin is a tool for freeing humanity from oligarchs and tyrants, dressed up as a get-rich-quick scheme.”
India exited lockdown months ago after seeing how stupidly counterproductive it was.
Cases peaked. Then quickly crashed. No death tsunami. Even given how terribly inadequate healthcare infrastructure is there.
If one isn’t physiologically incapable of not overthinking, this video is quite simple to understand.
A career bureaucrat caught in a CYA maneuver trying to save his career and a politician who wants to expose it
There was no 12D chess or grand strategy behind funding WUV
Reviewing this video & the reactions to it, I see two worlds:
One in which the good Dr Fauci with Saintly patience has finally had it w/ right wing populist & borderline nutcase Sen Paul.
The other in which Dr Paul confronts naked Emperor Fauci on GoFR.
@DrEricDing
This is the problem with Covid.
It starts out mild, and rapidly leads to resp failure, and can happen to anyone at any time. Which is why stratifying treatments based on presenting symptoms is dangerous.
Maximal treatment as soon as presentation (Remdesivir, HCQ, Zpak etc)
Hydroxychloroquine may turn out to have a marginal effect size (or big effect if given early). We just don't know yet.
Given the safety profile of the drug, in desperate times, I would fully agree with TRYING it under monitoring.
This smug, academic, condescension can GTFO
Now that the Lancet hydroxychloroquine study was retracted, can we trust the Ivermectin NEJM study?
There’s a special place in hell for “researchers” who try to subvert treatment decisions for ulterior purposes, in the middle of a global pandemic.
I'm sick of the "MDs" and "PhDs" who on the one hand want everyone to stay in perpetual lockdown no matter the consequences, and on the other cry "fast development of a vaccine is too risky".
@GraduatedBen
But if the TIA hasn’t resolved in 24 hrs it’s by definition a stroke. In case of a stroke, I’d rush the patient to a neurointerventional center to pull the clot out. Hopkins is one of the best. The window is <8 hrs
The labor market is in freefall:
1. Private sector job openings at 6 year low.
2. Hires plunge the most in over a year to lowest since April 2020
3. Quits tumble to lowest since covid crash.
This is madness. Assume pharmaceuticals to be laced with the same poison in due course.
Why are we letting the importation of this poison? How can you stop it with wide open borders?
One pill is all it takes. Far too many glamorize drug use, act like it’s harmless, or go “reefer madness much.” They are the enemy of humanity. The drugs aren’t the same.

The opportunity here is not a nice streaming service.
It’s to build a censorship resistant media ecosystem as an alternative to the MSM-Hollywood complex
A generational opp.I know that there’s more than enough money to fund it.
Sorrento Therapeutics' STI-1499 is a monoclonal antibody that binds and inhibits 100% of the viral entry into cells, claims the company.
Huge if true.

Many MD friends reporting that the vast majority of cases they see critically ill in Covid are obese males.
beyond obvious ventilation difficulties, are there any well known markers that correlate with infection risk in Obesity?
@Mangan150
IMHO, Balaji sees how irrational and fucked up the world is, and thinks "this will collapse soon".
I can see how a hyper rational person would think that.
But the world has always been fucked up in many ways.
We continue to hobble on from crisis to crisis.
Before Bitcoin, censorship in anything other than money was largely academic
Now, it’s almost as important as monetary censorship and is rapidly growing in importance
Johns Hopkins coronavirus dashboard has mysteriously removed the “have countries flattened the curve?” link on its home page, just when US case growth falls below other countries’
A total coincidence I believe
@elonmusk
Dude, the Consumer Price Index has been back to a very normal 3% for a year now.
Inflation was up between mid-2020 and mid-2022 because of COVID.
Your tweet is total BS.

This is the way to play the Ozempic bull market imo.
Let markets fuck up Bitcoin
There will be a market for an ossified protocol in its current state
It didn’t get to where it is by crowdsourced judgenent
Wow. Drop in mortality rates across the board in US hospitals using Plasma/RDV/Tocilizumab
Wait 2 months before the mainstream media lets you in on this
AlphaTarget is hiring: Exciting opportunity!
Are you passionate about investing in disruptive public companies? AlphaTarget is a cutting-edge research firm which combines fundamental and technical approaches, and we are in the process of building something remarkable!
To repeat what I've been shouting for a while,
Early Antivirals are key.
Move Remdesivir and HCQ to early in the course of disease
Late stage rescues are Tocilizumab, Anakinra and Kevzara

It's always about the "relative to someone else" for them. Not about the absolute condition of prosperity people enjoy. Rooted in envy not objective truth.
A disturbing pattern seen often.
A couple get Covid.
The one who got it first does better.
The one who got it latter is in serious condition.
It’s the viral load of initial inoculation.
Sending not so sick patients back to their families is a disaster waiting to happen
To all the twitter epidemiologists building their audiences on "reinfection" fearmongering:
Reinfections happen rarely in all viral diseases that do produce durable immunity.
Chicken pox: .
Measles:
The most important thing that isn't discussed is that there is not one case of a patient dying of Covid in the US because they were refused care for lack of ICU beds or ventilators, ala Bergamo.
Everyone wants to start a new "VC" firm.
What is your innovation? What new wrinkle are you adding to the structure of a VC?
If your job is to fund innovators, shouldn't you try to find a better pattern for your firm than what every other VC is doing?
@BioBreakout
We should focus on an intubation prevention strategy instead of increasing ventilator support, knowing that >85% vented patients never make it
EARLY HCQ, Azithro and Remdesivir.
Tocilizumab/Kevzara as soon as their oxygen requirements go up+proning
Don't let them get intubated
@csentropy
CDC Official Guidelines for FDA-Approved Malaria Drug taken by milllions for decades: >>>>>>>>> "Hydroxychloroquine can be prescribed to adults and children of all ages. It can also be safely taken by pregnant women and nursing mothers" (presc. only).
When you're disgusted by our response to this epidemic, remember all the PhDs, "Intellectuals", and the chattering classes that were ridiculing our cautiousness from their ivory towers, until they conveniently switched sides like the weather vane
"For the life of me, I can’t understand the absolute ignorance in the press about Plaquenil. That applies to doctors as well. I cannot emphasize enough the safety of Plaquenil. We rheumatologists literally don’t think twice about prescribing it.
The wrong reaction to blockspace being expansive: we need to pick and choose who is entitled to use blockspace
The right reaction: we need to build L2s that reduce the cost of blockspace by making permissible tradeoffs
4 patients with the same disease are about to die, I unplug the vent. Then two of them get a dose of a safe medicine and get discharged the next day, the other two die. Will we wait for a "Double Blind, Randomized, Control Trial" before we start to treat the rest? IQ test.
Florida, Utah, South Dakota bent the curve without draconian measures
So did Sweden and Japan.
Maybe its time to stop pretending that there is only one solution and that we don't fully understand it.
Ironic that the "complexity" scientists are the ones with only one solution
Obvious things take time to “sink” into public consciousness.
The captured western power centers (admin state, media, academe) etc vehemently strive to delay it
In the end, they’re powerless to stop it. And they know it. Their masters do too
Baricitinib: Multicenter, retrospective study from Italy:
0% vs 6.4% mortality.
ICU admission 0.88% vs 17.9%
A pretty well matched control arm.

Facebook is smart enough to know that their moat is their proprietary data, not the LLM.
By open sourcing the models, they level the playing field for everyone that doesnt have that data.
Which is a good thing.

Now it’ll be interesting to watch delayed rate cut vs ETF inflows and see which will be more dominant.
My guess is ETF flows might slow when expected rate cut doesn’t materialize as ‘quickly’ but who knows
Quick rewrite:
I’m the CEO of CrowdStrike. I’m devastated to see the scale of today’s outage and will be personally working on it together with our team until it’s fully fixed for every single user.

AI is going to create an unbelievable amount of deflation in services and wages over the next decade,
to counter which CBs will print ungodly amounts of money.
Which is massively bullish for bitcoin (and oil/commodities)
Funny how tech is now the Tail Wagging the Dog
When collapse/state transition is inevitable, the disciplined thing to do is to focus solely on what comes after and how to thrive after, and not on how the state change happens
In 2015 I have to admit it would have made no sense to just about everyone why I was saving the archives of over 6000 of some of the largest dial-up Bulletin Board Systems that date back to the 1970s.
Today I have this unique archive encoded in to YOUR local free AI.
