Jugheadnaut: You are saying a single bat pissed on a researcher that took it back to a lab where it turned infectious? It's not impossible but seems unlikely to me. I'm not an expert, but it seems tome more likely it took hold in the general area around Wuhan, exactly as its cousin SARS. It probabl...

Longest Pitkill ever. Thanks for curing it, FT. While the FT owes us nothing, I hope he does explain what happened and why no replacement home page with an explanatory message was put up.

I agree-- Tulsi's 'one trick' is her antiwar policy. But she has a 2nd 'trick', contextual to the field of candidates: Unlike Biden-- she's coherent & even-tempered, unlike Bernie-- she's young & not a shouter. Unlike Warren, Tulsi's un-irritating and not a liar. She's not a sellout like Buttigieg....

Characterising Dr Mason in general, and this video in particular, as “ ... fairly standard lipid hypothesis contrarian video” is, well let’s just say “odd”. It’s probably the clearest and best backed explanation of the overall process available to the common man. I’d be interested in where the cont...

Who would have guessed Tulsi would be the last woman in the race while still being an also-ran. I wonder what the DNC's contingency plans are in the significantly possible circumstance that health or cognitive issues force Biden out before the convention.

A very common claim among lipid hypothesis contrarians is that while there's lots of evidence statins reduce LDL, there's no evidence they reduce CVD or mortality significantly. I take it you are saying this is blatantly false. Multiple trials show statins to reduce cardiovascular events and deaths...

I too listened to the whole thing, and I may do it again. It is a tour into an alternate reality.

From my own blood lipid results, I have a discordancy that no doctor has been able to give me any insight on. My results are similar to Sulman's, but even more so. My triglycerides are extremely low, less than half the threshold of concern, and my HDL is in the optimum range. Yet my LDL is on the h...

In all of this, we have not addressed triglycerides, which are another form of fat in the bloodstream. Type IV hyperlipidæmia is purely a hypertriglyceridæmia, and kills quickly in its serious inherited form. Remember elevated triglycerides are one of the three legs of the 'metabolic syndrome' and ...

I'm keeping things simple. I didn't eat that badly before, but apparently not well enough.

Keys was pretty dim when it came to statistics and he was way too much of a crusader than is seemly for a scientist, but maybe this shows he was corrupt as well, and refused to publish data that contradicted his pre-existing beliefs.

Given that Williams hit his prime in the '70s and '80s when astrology and copious other New Age shit were standard beliefs among actors, his interest in Jung makes him a one eyed man in the land of the blind.

So that thing about Billy Dee Williams being gender fluid? Billy Dee Williams: "What the hell is 'gender fluid'?"
