Black men deserve better than recommendations based on modeling, an imperfect science. @NIH should fund a trial in black men testing this. Black men may end up with more incontinence & impotence, but no better survival. This is a dangerous and speculatory paper.

@US_FDA 's cancer drug approval process is broken and needs a deep dive audit: Cancer is deadly, but 68% of the drugs approved by FDA have no evidence they increase survival open.substack.com/pub/sensibleme… via @VPrasadMDMPH Is @USGAO or @OIGatHHS going to do this audit?

🤩 paper documenting the EvGen lifecycle of oncology drugs, most showing no OS benefit. Do we want efficacious drugs? How much efficacy is enough? How much is “feeling” like we are helping worth vs objectively helping and what is the likelihood we are improving health? 👏👏👏

Many people don't understand literature. Misinterpretation of data is common. The "cognitive ease" of misapplying or "extrapolating" data. Just because it's not great at screening asymptomatic men does not mean it's not useful for those with symptoms. @VPrasadMDMPH
Why does it seem that urologists are now against prostate digital examinations? What an odd thing to oppose.
The economics of the business are pretty bad. But the UX is ~the same, it is still the overwhelming category leader, and the competitors have embarrassingly flopped. The politics have shifted, certainly. But people were literally predicting the app would collapse within days.

1/ Two years ago today, on 4/25/22, Twitter’s Board accepted Elon Musk’s offer to acquire the company at $54.20/share. As an ex-director for civic integrity at Twitter, I’ve watched what Musk has done since then. And today is my last post on this platform. I’m leaving. 🧵>>>
It’s always the supposed “progressives” who criticize a woman’s appearance. Not sure how they square this with their “feminism.” Hypocrites. And just mean people. I’m 55 and happy with how I look. (& I don’t think looks matter.) If I wasn’t I’d find this upsetting. Mean.

Those cops are vicious thugs. They'd likely get high on doing the bidding of any murderous regime. This video acts as a reminder that violent totalitarianism is never that far below the thin veneer of liberal democracy. Dictators rarely struggle to find henchmen for their crimes.

@VPrasadMDMPH I loved her point that if a therapist doesn't offer an endpoint run! Bc the idea that the therapist is diagnostician and therapeutic is a huge a conflict of interest. Who wouldn't want to continue the free cash flow of $350/hr or more ?

Ugly abuse aimed at Columbia students. But because it’s aimed at Arab Americans, Mike Johnson won’t be doing a press conference.
I’m inside the Columbia campus now, and the pro-Israel crowd is yelling through the gates at students. “Stop wasting mommy and daddy’s money!” “You want to camp? Go camp in Gaza!” “Go back to Gaza!”
2 Schools are trying to therapize kids by deputizing non-professionals to “help” kids focus on their feelings and other garbage that just makes kids ruminate on bad stuff and get anxious.
Also, kids are very suggestible, and kids really can’t willingly engage with therapy bc it’s not their choice (willing engagement is a requirement for adults).
I just finished @AbigailShrier’s Bad Therapy. Well worth the read. Best points: 1 Therapy is probably more harmful than helpful for almost all kids bc no matter what, kids will get the message that something is so wrong with them that their own parents can’t help.
It was wrong for public health tyrants to cancel high school graduation for the senior class of 2020. It is wrong for USC to cancel the big graduation ceremony for their undergraduate class of 2024. Let the kids (ok, young adults) celebrate graduation for once!
