The courts have a third party doctrine. If you willingly give your data to a third party (the airlines) it's not a violation for the government to also use it.
The problem with developing new antibiotics is that pharma wants to sell them at a high price to recover research costs. But older antibiotics are out of patent an are dirt cheap. So the new antibiotics only make sense in the limited cases where no old antibiotic works. So pharma finds itself selling into a small market that is hard to sell to, because antibiotic resistance is unpredictable. That's why there's a perennial problem of no new antibiotics. The problem isn't the science, it's the economic system of our system of medicine.
There are two problems. The first is while testosterone reduces fertility, it does not reduce it sufficiently without another steroid like progestin. The second is that testosterone must be injected or reliable birth control and self-injection is a problem for many men.
Among other errors they overestimated the effectiveness of the Covid vaccine, said it stopped transmission when it didn't, didn't consider measures to mitigate the risk of myocarditis in young people, and claimed contracting Covid didn't provide immunity equivalent to vaccination.
The currency was devalued to bring the official rate in line with the black market rate. So anything imported is going to have a big jump in price. But also making Argentine products more attractive abroad. Inevitable, if Argentina is going to solve its economic problems.
To viruses and bacteria the human body is like a buffet table. If one virus is eliminated, another virus will evolve to take its place. Already we have acute flaccid paralysis, a disease with the symptoms of polio that is not caused by the polio virus. Although we can celebrate our successes, we shouldn't imagine we can eliminate all childhood diseases through vaccination programs.
The average Venezuelan cannot survive on what they can earn because of poverty and inflation caused by the incompetent and corrupt socialist government of Venezuela.
The problem here is obvious. What if the patient has an adverse reaction to the drug? If they took a single dose, you can discontinue the drug. But you can't discontinue a multiple dose drug delivered in a single shot.
The sweet spot for Perl is any problem combining text processing with Unix system calls. It's a system administrator's idea of what a programming language should be. I feel the reason why Perl got a reputation as a "write only" language is because it's easy to write a simple Perl script, so people with no programming background wrote a lot of ugly code. It's simple to write clean, maintainable code in Perl with a little discipline.
Social security disabilty claims have decreased since 2020, contradicting the claim that Covid, Long Covid, or the vaccine are leaving large numbers of people too disabled to work.
I believe the definition of this set is contradictory. The set is defined as all numbers that cannot be described with a finite number of symbols. But that set must have a member whose value is closest to zero. So you can describe at least one member of this supposedly indescribable set.
I'm willing to believe the mRNA vaccines have "saved a lot of lives" but there is a study that I haven't yet seen and I'd like to see: compare the number of deaths per hundred thousand in 2022 between the vaccinated and unvaccinated broken down into ten year age groups. 2022 because it's the year that the omicron strain has dominated.
My hypothesis is that there will be no significant difference below 60 and an advantage for the vaccinated above 60, but that's just my guess and I'd like to see this very simple study done.
When your boss tells you to do something, you can always say no, but you don't treat it as a mere suggestion. There's a power imbalance that makes it something more. You can't treat government communications with Twitter as mere suggestions. The government's power makes it more serious than that.
I found that Duolingo is good for learning vocabulary, not so good for learning grammar. The online course I found most helpful was "Spanish with Paul," but I am sure there are other good courses.
While the article lauds El Faro's "fearless independent reporting", if you follow politics in El Salvador, they are aligned with El Salvador's left wing socialist party, the FMLN, as discussed in this video:
If "up to 30% of Americans who get Covid-19" have long Covid, where are the professional athletes who have had to retire because of long Covid? I can't even think of one.
Banning proof of work is one step from a free market economy towards a socialist economy, where the government decides what will and will not be produced. If you believe that government is wise enough to decide what should and should not be made and kind enough to always consider the need of the people ahead of their own interests, this will seem like a good idea. But anyone who has studied recent history will understand that it is not.
