🧵@moderna_tx clinical trial update. It's been ~2 years since my first #COVID19 vaccine dose and I had my final clinic visit today. With tears in their eyes they gave me a nasal swab and drew some blood. They said "Sir, we've never drawn blood from anyone as easily as you."->
CATS!

In 1991, after measles outbreaks killed children & sickened thousands, President George HW Bush announced a vaccine public health campaign. He implored parents to protect their kids through immunization.

I've never seen two people be so confidently wrong about doing a basic math problem.
RK JR: One of the Democrats was ridiculing President Trump for his math, and she was saying it's in mathematically impossible to have any drug drop by 600% cost. And I said, well, if the drug was $100 and it raised the price of $600. That would be a 600% rise. If it drops from 600 to 100, that's a 600% savings.
Trump: That’s right.
RFK JR: The president used that mathematical device to illustrate the magnitude of the theft.

The math in this clip is incorrect. A rise from $100 to $600 is a 500% increase, not 600%. A drop from $600 to $100 is an 83% decrease, not 600%. Percentage decreases over 100% are impossible without negative prices. politifact.com/factchecks/202… skillsyouneed.com/num/percent-ch…
Sweet 16 off to a rough start:
Nebraska -1.5❌
Houston -2.5 ❌
Arizona -8.5 ✅
Thought about taking Texas +7.5, but chickened out. Could have broke even. Ah well.
Duke -6.5 ❌
MSU+2.5 ❌
ISU-3.5❌
I thought about taking BAMA +9.5, but would have lost that one too. this round has been BRUTAL!
Never in my life, living in Kansas, have I ever run the air conditioner in November and in March until Nov 2025 and March 2026. The forecast is >90F on Saturday. It was 14F only a few days ago.
This was a skit from Mad TV, which was made in 2007. Still relevant today. youtube.com/watch?v=rw2nkoGL…
I never thought infectious diseases would have a lobbying group. Boy was I wrong.
