This is what happens when you have an attorney who thinks they understand the meaning of a placebo - and he clearly does not. So let us address this silly man's concerns. The Salk polio vaccine trial did not use “plain saline” in every arm because the goal was not to create a metaphysical definition of “nothing”—it was to match the experience of injection so that outcomes weren’t biased by who got a shot and who didn’t. So yes, the control injection contained the vehicle—the same background solution used to deliver the vaccine—without the active poliovirus antigen. That’s how you isolate the effect of the vaccine itself. Calling that “not a placebo” is like claiming a sugar pill isn’t a placebo because it contains sugar. The ingredients being waved around—culture medium, trace antibiotics, stabilizers—were non-active components, included to mirror the injection environment. They are not the intervention. They are the baseline. And here’s the part that ruins the conspiracy: The trial involved over a million children and showed a clear, dramatic reduction in paralytic polio in the vaccinated group. Not subtle. Not arguable. Follow that with real-world data and the result is unmistakable: polio cases collapsed. If this were some grand deception built on a “fake placebo,” it would have fallen apart the moment the vaccine hit the real world. Instead, it eradicated a disease. Or to put it plainly: when someone argues that a controlled trial isn’t controlled because the control wasn’t philosophically pure enough, they’re not doing science, they are not understanding science, and they do not know the meaning of a placebo. Yes, this was not saline - but it was a placebo. Yes this is just as good as a saline control and this is the issue - Siri has no idea what a placebo is and if he thinks saline is a placebo then it shows why lawyers should take some basic science

A "Saline Placebo" was never used in the Salk vaccine trial. The below page is from the official final report for the Salk trial that expressly explains what the control group received in that trial. It was an injection that included, among other things, the following ingredients: “199 solution” (a synthetic tissue culture medium and ethanol), “phenol red,” “antibiotics,” and “formalin.” (Don’t take my word for it, see the full report for yourself: babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=umn.…) Also note that FDA, in its guidance regarding placebo trials, states: “Placebos, defined as inert substances with no pharmacologic activity…” and that a “placebo control … group ... receives an inert treatment…” Or as CDC explains: “A substance or treatment that has no effect on living beings.” For source links and more see aaronsiri.substack.com/p/fact-checkin… and aaronsiri.substack.com/p/no-a-salt-wa…

Reminder he’s never authored a paper, never done journal club, never taken a single biological science course post high school, never, taken a stats class, has no training in epi… But called a well-controlled study “garbage”. The audacity of his ignorance
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

FOXX: I've heard a new Danish study just came out finding no connection between Tylenol and autism. What is your reaction? RFK Jr: It's a garbage study. It should be retracted.

This is from someone who is presently 65. Based on saying “in our 20s” the timeframe is ~1984. $40,000 for a home then equals $124,000 adjusted to inflation. The median home value in the U.S. is $435,000. $13,000 in income in 1984 is equivalent to $40,200 today. The 1984 example, at the sky high rate of 13.88% would equal 42% of gross income to pay for the example home. To cover a $435,000 mortgage today on an income of $40,200 at 6.75% would equal 84% of gross income.

Older person here. Interest rate on my first house was 13.88% Massive Westinghouse plant shut down where my former husband worked nine months after we bought the house on the same day we found out I pregnant with our first child. Every job that he was qualified to do had closed down. Lost our health insurance. Only job he could find was six dollars an hour. He had to go back to school and yes, there was debt Yes we did struggle. Big time.

I think I’m going to intentionally regress as a baseball fan. I was never supposed to know a hitters split numbers or the whiff rate of a certain pitch, or xBA & stuff. I’m supposed to drink precisely 7 beers & root for my guys. Going back to basics.

One of the most violent finishes I’ve ever seen in MMA. Alexa Grasso knocks out Maycee Barber and then immediately chokes her out at UFC Seattle. Insanity 😳

Fact: It took LeBron James 650 more regular season and playoff games combined games than Michael Jordan to pass Jordan in combined steals all time LeBron has averaged 87 combined (reg & playoff) games per season thru his career so in that context, it took LeBron 7.5 more average LeBron seasons played to pass Goat MJ in combined steals. The average NBA career is under 5 years long Jordan really was a whole NBA career greater than LeBron and as is always illustrated in these milestones, he needed infinitely less time to accomplish what LeBron is playing 25 years to reach. The goat and the sheep
Basketball Forever@bballforever_

LeBron James has SURPASSED Michael Jordan in career steals (Regular season + Playoffs) 🐐 1. John Stockton - 3603 2. Chris Paul - 3015 3. Jason Kidd - 2986 4. LeBron James - 2892 5. Michael Jordan - 2890

Clash Report
Clash Report@clashreport·
Days after U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth suggested the war in Iran was protected by God, Pope Leo XIV issued a sharp rebuke and called for an immediate ceasefire. Speaking from St. Peter’s Square during the Angelus, the Pope urged leaders to “cease fire so that avenues for dialogue may be reopened,” condemning attacks on schools, hospitals, and homes after two weeks of fighting that have reportedly killed more than a thousand civilians. Later, preaching at a parish in Rome, Leo warned against invoking religion to justify war. “Someone presumes to involve the name of God in choices of death,” he said. “But God cannot be enlisted by the darkness.”
