@drjohnm "incredible" being the right word. The graphic shows the results of a meta-analysis which is "incredible", i.e., has no credibility amongst cancer researchers.

@sacjai Wonderful and inspiring story, Sachin. Thank you for sharing. Regards to your mom, and hope she continues to inspire others in similar situations.

After the popularity of my prior post, I asked my mother to narrate the story of her early days in America in her own voice. Here’s what she shared: When I first came to America, I didn’t speak English at all. I had no confidence. I was scared to go out, scared to talk to people, scared to work. Everything felt new and overwhelming. One day, in the apartment building where we were living, there was a small nursery school. I kept looking at it for days. Finally I gathered my courage and went inside. I told the teacher, “I don’t speak English, but can I volunteer? Can I just come and watch how you teach and help you if you need anything?” She said yes. Her name was Ms. Bonnie. She was very kind. I started going every day. I helped with the children, watched how the school worked, and did whatever I could. Some parents didn’t like that I didn’t speak English and was still in the classroom. They complained. But Ms. Bonnie stood up for me. She said, “Mrs. Jain, you are so good with the children. Why don’t you start babysitting? People are always looking for a good babysitter.” I was scared and said, “Who will give me their children? Who will trust me?” She smiled and said, “Don’t worry. If you are good, people will come.” So I put a small sign on the corkboard in the building: Babysitting available. That same day, a nurse named Janice called me. She worked from five in the evening until midnight. I asked my husband if I should do it. He said, “If you think you can do it, then do it.” Every day at five o’clock she dropped off her little boy. He played with my children, Neeru and Rupam. Around midnight he would fall asleep, and his mother would come after her shift and take him home. Soon, more children started coming. Some parents left their kids at the nursery school in the morning and went to work. When the first shift finished, I picked up those children and brought them to my apartment. Then I dropped the afternoon children back to school. On holidays and vacation days, I had both shifts — many children all day long. Little by little, I ended up caring for sixteen children at one time. Before I accepted anyone, I told the parents one thing: “My house is strictly vegetarian. No meat can come inside.” Everyone agreed. Some parents brought bagels or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but I cooked fresh food every day. I made roti that puffed up on the stove, khichdi, rice, and papad. The children loved it. They would laugh and say, “Mrs. Jain has magic!” when they saw the roti puff up. They had never seen anything like that before. They loved the food so much that some mothers came with me to the Indian grocery store. I taught them how to cook everything too. Most of the families were nurses, doctors, and people from nearby buildings. When pickup time got crowded in my apartment, I started taking all the children to the nursery school playground. The parents would come there after work and pick them up. Every Friday, everyone paid me. My rule was simple: I saved the first $200 every week. Anything extra I spent on my children — toys, clothes, and little things to make them happy. The mothers became like my family. They taught me how to ride the subway. They took me to the Bronx Zoo on weekends when my husband was busy working. They showed me how to shop and how to live in America. One boy I watched for a long time grew up. Years later he told his mother, “I want to see Mrs. Jain.” They found me again and he came to visit. He was still shy — just like when he was little — but he was so happy to see me. When I remember those days now, my heart still feels full. I was frightened when I first came to this country. But those children gave me confidence. Those mothers gave me strength. And those years gave me happiness I will always carry with me. That is how I started my life in America —with fear at first, and then with love, hard work, and a house full of children and warm food.

@sky_phd MERIT 😡

माननीय कोलेजियम के जज साहब का मानना है कि भेदभाव के ख़िलाफ़ क़ानून बनाया गया तो उसका दुरुपयोग हो सकता है, इसलिए ऐसा क़ानून नहीं होना चाहिए। अब कह रहे हैं कि अगर न्यूनतम मज़दूरी तय कर दी गई, तो लोग काम पर रखना बंद कर देंगे—इसलिए शोषण चलता रहना चाहिए। क़ानून के दुरुपयोग की आशंका कभी भी क़ानून न बनाने का आधार नहीं हो सकती। अगर ऐसा होता, तो श्रम क़ानून, महिला सुरक्षा क़ानून या मानवाधिकार क़ानून कभी बने ही नहीं होते। यह सोच न्याय की नहीं, बल्कि मौजूदा असमानता और जातीय प्रिवलेज को बचाए रखने की सोच है। इनकी तथाकथित “मेरिट” और न्याय की समझ आधुनिक संवैधानिक मूल्यों और वैश्विक न्याय की समझ से मेल नहीं खाती, जहाँ न्याय का मतलब कमज़ोर को सुरक्षा देना होता है, न कि ताक़तवर की सुविधा बनाए रखना।

@sky_phd @priyanka2bharti मनोवैज्ञानिक काउंसलिंग की ज़रूरत है जब विशेषाधिकार प्राप्त लोग खुद को पीड़ित महसूस करते हैं ।

@priyanka2bharti संस्थानों में भेदभाव को इतना सामान्य बना दिया गया है कि अब लोग इसे अपना अधिकार समझने लगे हैं। अब जब इसे चुनौती दी जा रही है, तो वे व्याकुल हो रहे हैं।

कितने अभागे हैं “विश्वास” खुद लेक्चरर रहे। पिता प्रोफ़ेसर, भाई VC रहे ।पत्नी RPSC सदस्य रही। बेटी लंदन के किंग्स कॉलेज से पढ़ाई की। फिर भी अभागे रह गए! ऐसा अभागा बहुजन कब बनेगा? इस अभागे ने एक बात नहीं बताई! इनके भाई के ख़िलाफ़ BA (इंग्लिश लिटरेचर) फर्स्ट ईयर प्रोग्राम में एडमिशन लेने वाली 13 छात्राओं ने CCSU के VC को चिट्ठी लिखकर "पक्षपात करने, अपनी कथित तौर पर अश्लील किताबों को बढ़ावा देने, छात्रों पर उन्हें खरीदने का दबाव डालने और आधी रात को कॉल करके उन्हें परेशान करने" का आरोप लगाया था। उस आरोप के बाद वहाँ की VC ने इन्वेस्टीगेशन कमिटी बना दी और अंत में ठीकरा बच्चियों पर फोड़ा गया! कहा गया इंटरनल और एक्सटर्नल एग्जाम में अपने मार्क्स से नाखुश स्टूडेंट्स ने शर्मा पर आरोप लगाए! बिल्कुल वही ट्रेंड जो बहुजन छात्रों की आत्महत्या के बाद होता है! अब आप ख़ुद समझिए अभागे विश्वास जी को UGC एक्ट जो की पहले से कमजोर ही बना दिया गया उसका डर क्यों सता रहा!

@sky_phd @sauravyadav1133 पैसे में ताक़त नहीं है , आदमी कमजोर है भाई साहब ।

@sauravyadav1133 पैसे में बड़ी ताक़त होती है।

इसमें दिलीप मंडल अलग सोच वाले थे और बाकि सब एक जैसी ही सोच वाले थे लेकिन पैसे और नफरत के बल पर सब एक मंच पर एक साथ खड़े मुस्करा रहे हैं ...

@DavidLBrownMD Cherries are the preferred fruit of this seasonal species.

Interesting how the MAGA MD supporters of the nonsense coming out of HHS, NIH, and CDC are also unwilling to criticize the actions of any other government departments. That MAGA oath is strong- and universal.

@sky_phd इस प्रकार के सवालों से पूरा तंत्र सदमे में आ जाएगा । मजे करने दीजिए । मजा करने केअलावा और क्या है?

यह आईआईटी मद्रास के डायरेक्टर की गूगल स्कॉलर प्रोफाइल है। पब्लिकेशन रिकॉर्ड देखें तो 2025 में केवल एक, 2024 में दो, और 2023 में तो सिर्फ़ कॉन्फ्रेंस पेपर्स नज़र आते हैं। बाक़ी वर्षों में भी पब्लिकेशन का पैटर्न कुछ ऐसा ही रहा है। कंप्यूटर साइंस जैसे क्षेत्र में भारत में ही ऐसे अनेक प्रोफेसर हैं जिनका रिसर्च प्रोफाइल इससे कहीं ज़्यादा मज़बूत और प्रभावशाली है। ऐसे में एक बुनियादी सवाल उठता है— पद्म श्री पुरस्कार देने का मापदंड क्या है? क्या यह शोध की गुणवत्ता, अकादमिक योगदान और वैज्ञानिक प्रभाव के आधार पर दिया जा रहा है, या फिर इसके पीछे कोई अन्य प्राथमिकताएँ हैं?

@DavidLBrownMD @DrJMarine Pray 🤣

@DrJMarine What would your answer be?

This is how “public health experts” continue to destroy what remains of their credibility. The answer to every problem in infectious disease is to mindlessly recommend more shots.

@drkeithsiau Opinions rule and who cares about evidence 🫤

Top 10 journals by impact factor - what do you notice?

@theliverdoc The sign of an inadequate critique is the absence of numbers in the text. Congratulations @theliverdoc, for quantifying the evidence on generic medications. Findings are in line with other similar studies globally. Prevalence or incidence matters instead of binaries.

Hi Dinesh. It was not ad hominem and sorry you felt it that way. Ad hominem is a logical fallacy (circumstantial or abusive) and this is not it. Please read more on it on logicallyfallacious.com Rinse-Repeating your own opinion pieces is not objective evidence to what we have proven or shown in our study. Ours was a simple pharmaceutical equivalence study at the consumer level performed as per standard protocols. Something that has never been done before. You have misinterpreted and misrepresented it to something completely different, citing paper reports, opinion pieces and second hand opaque information on rare events and regulatory oversight and regional regulatory affairs. Let's just take a deep breath and step back here. The only information on generics has always been "it's poor quality" from media sources and opinion pieces like yours. But we challenged that with actual evidence, not based on opinions, but standardized protocols. Let's not overreact to a simple study and it's conclusions. I feel there is a lot of knee jerk reactions happening all around because we challenged a myth. I expect such overreactions the least from you and your team because I truly believe that you of all people would understand what we are trying to do here, to improve healthcare seeking behaviour. I will repeat our study conclusions for your clarity once again. Our study has shown that patients do not need to be unnecessarily wary about generic drugs being of poor quality routinely. In general, they are good too just like branded ones and at a much lower cost. Yes, there are quality issues, but these are rare events, not the norm like people used to believe. Does the reports you cite in your opinion pieces show bioequivalence and bioavailability data for all the cleared generics or brands? You are only highlighting the ones that failed. But the ones that passed quality checks, did you ask for BE and BA like you are asking of us now? I don't think so. So why the double standards on our paper that helped people realise something new? Hundreds of thousands of patients are treated in the public sector across India with generics. Our study is like a candle to the dark. Let's not "normalise generics are bad" and "brands as always good". I hope this is clear now.

@DavidLBrownMD @DrJMarine Beliefs are on the in the new evidence pyramid. 🫤

@DrJMarine How was saving millions of lives a debacle?

The public health establishment continues to live in a world of delusion. They seem to have learned nothing from the covid debacle. They still think that the backlash is just a "vast right-wing conspiracy"...

@EricTopol 🤗🤣🤣🤣🤣

Here's a summary of all the data that supports adding more red meat to your diet

I'm obsessed with cognitive biases. A "cognitive bias" is a systematic error in thinking that destroys decision-making. 11 most powerful (and dangerous) cognitive biases I've found: 🧵 1. Survivorship Bias:

The #AirPollution emergency is a national disaster. At this hour, India needed a visionary leader, someone who could lead, comfort, and accept responsibility. The Prime Minister could’ve declared a health emergency, issued advisories, placed strict curbs on industries and primary polluters, found a way to stop farm fires by mostly helpless farmers, called for an all-party meeting, held direct consultations with Chief Ministers of North Indian states, directed his Health Minister to coordinate with counterparts across the region, and made all of this a shining example of bipartisan, progressive politics. What a commendable achievement that would’ve been. Instead, our Prime Minister is camping in Bihar with most of his cabinet, pleading Biharis not to vote for the principal opposition party because they apparently insulted “Chhathi Maiya” (the deity, wife of the Sun God) and reminding them of 20-30 year-old “jungle raj” days. No new ideas of development. The Delhi Chief Minister is busy staging dramas like we saw with the Yamuna. The LG, who was hyperactive during the AAP regime, has absconded. Chief Ministers of other states are implementing their own isolated strategies, doing little without a central steer. Parliamentarians seem to have nothing to say about this hazardous situation, let alone protest it. The Supreme Court is busy posturing as a “court of last resort,” “of the downtrodden,” and all that to serve their inflated egos. In any case, the Chief Justice of India has little time to hear the issue effectively, instead choosing to woo journalists over coffee before his retirement. Quite clearly, India lacks visionary leadership and statesmanship. What we have instead is a kakistocracy—a government of the most power-hungry, bottom-of-the-barrel kind of leaders whose only job is to keep the masses distracted from real issues and jail those who try to do some good. What’s clearer today is that this country has become a GREAT example of what could’ve been and would’ve been, not what it is, or what it has become. No wonder those who can afford to leave, are leaving or planning to. Right-wing buffoons may call them “anti-nationals” or accuse them of lacking love for their country but if they were even capable of holding a reasonable conversation with a living being, they’d know how deeply sad, how heavy-hearted many of our fellow countrymen and women are when they leave their homes to start from scratch in an alien land. And one need not be sorry for choosing themselves. YOLO. The tragedy is also that most of us are raised with zero critical thinking and no appetite for activism. The result is a nation of mostly self-serving, complacent, chalta-hai attitude–wielding individuals, tolerant of bullshit to the point of self-harm. What I am trying to say is that a great reset is long overdue.
