The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry.
The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine.
The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true.
The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either.
The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought.
The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to.
The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer.
Now it is today.
Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus.
He is confident.
He has always been confident.
The confidence has never been the problem.
The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem.

🚨It’s about time someone said it.
Josh Howie drops a raw truth bomb on stage:
“I don’t want to call out Islam because I don’t want to be murdered. I’m scared… but if we don’t call it out, we’re going to be fucking murdered anyway!”
A comedian finally saying what so many Brits are thinking but too scared to voice.

Do you agree ? This sounds sensible
It’s something I tried to get through Parliament in a Bill, but it was voted down by the major political parties

Restore Britain would repeal the Gender Recognition Act. There are men, and there are women. That is all.

@JohnCleese Trying to make an example of him, it's totally ludicrous.
From next week I'm identifying as an oak tree, I want to be addressed as 'Mr Oak', the following week I may 'branch out' and identify as something else, the week after I may just 'leaf' it alone and just return to my roots

It is with a heavy heart that I write this. I have just learned of the passing of Stanley Batten. You may remember I asked people for financial help towards a last holiday then Birthday cards for his Birthday. I have been asked by the family to thank you again for your generosity and those of you that sent cards, thank you so much. I am sure you will join me in wishing sincere condolences to his family. RIP Stanley.

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️
You attack our national flag, yet expect everyone to accept your signs on the very same lampposts. That’s not principle — that’s double standards.
What happened today says it all. If you dish it out, don’t be shocked when people call it out. Flagger Charlie jumped out, took care of business for Flag Man, and a few signs were swiftly collected. Nothing more needs saying.
No longer the “Green” party… now the Double Standards Party.
I’m asking Zak Polanski and the Green Party of England and Wales — do you support this hypocrisy?
People can see straight through it. 🇬🇧
