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.

This tweet is embarrassing. 1) The kid hit a bomb. Last I checked, that's called "playing the game the right way." 2) He's pumped. As he should be. He's having fun, as he and ALL the kids should be. Let them have that while they still can. 3) Dude, who hurt you? Lighten up.
Danny Kanell@dannykanell

The coaches and parents who allow this to go on are the problem. Instead of teaching kids how to play the game the right way and show respect for the opponent they’re worried about getting viral attention. Embarrassing.

@lsnoel3 Righhtttt bc pharma has always been about helping people recover and get be healthy 😂😂😂😂. You avoided the question, which is pretty telling.. but all good. To each his own. Give people options that don’t involve a pill or a jab, especially if it is showing positive data

@wolfpacktom I spent 30 years in pharma. I don’t care if you believe or not but I do care for people. Also politicians and podcasters with no scientific knowledge are poor judges of data. Anecdotal examples are not data.

@lsnoel3 Agree. But there are also several that have incredible benefits. No one is forcing you to try anything. giving people the freedom to make their own choices when it comes to potential therapeutics is a good thing.

@wolfpacktom Many natural things are dangerous or regulated: •opium poppy •coca leaves •deadly mushrooms •tobacco •poisonous plants “Natural” has nothing to do with whether something should be legal, safe, or medically approved.

@LauraLoomer Ummm no. It’s ok to criticize leadership. This is pretty hypocritical.. basically saying don’t say negative things about the president.. even if they are deserved?

Joe Rogan standing behind President Trump in the Oval Office right now for the signing of an Executive Order after trash talking President Trump last week. Rogan is very opportunistic. Rich, successful, but very opportunistic and not exactly an ally to President Trump. @joerogan Would be nice if Rogan refrained from speaking badly about President Trump on his podcast…

A former SFN author doing his thing! This is fantastic and fascinating. Phenomenally interesting, not the least of which would be the potential to enter into discovery regarding a tortious interference claim against the third parties who clearly were interfering with NC State’s contract.

1/ 🧵Yesterday, Will Wade bolted from NC State to LSU—a move widely reported to have been in the works for weeks. If it hasn’t already bargained away its rights, NC State has real legal arguments to see Wade again—not on the basketball court, but in a courtroom. Here’s how:

you and bent over backwards to get you the funds needed (to deliver a 7th place ACC finish). And may karma find you every season after taking that Jimmy V pic. Give me 12M to build a roster and I can prob finish 7th place too.

main reason for not jumping on the “he’s gone” train was bc i didnt think a man in leadership would be able to look himself in the mirror. Sounds like I was wrong. Whether this is a ploy to get a raise here or he is gone, hurry up and GTFO. Don’t leverage this fanbase that welcomed
