There was little evidence of conflicts on the current boards. They have disclosure and ethics requirements. ACIP has recommended against vaccines.

Not to speak for him, but Bari Weiss is an example of someone who left traditional media for the more sensationalist "individual" media. Traditional media typically has quite a firewall between advertising/revenue and the newsroom. Weiss and others who have gone that route don't. They rely...

Mostly agree with this. I forget who it was that knows him. Basically said he's not immoral. He's amoral - he's just not concerned with right or wrong. Move fast and break things and all.

Yeah, I said exactly this upthread. :) In which case it's not at all unusual in the tech world.

Was Facebook first? MySpace was years ahead of them?

No doubt. Zuck is a king at falling behind and buying his way to number 1. He's not all that innovative. But he's seemingly pretty great at catching up. And that usually involves vast sums of money.

100 million investment will get Facebook a lot more money than Patrick Mahomes will make the Chiefs. If they get them anywhere near super intelligence My guess is these are also some type of stock option or something else that vests over time, too. And, of course, this is coming from a...

This probably strays too political, but there are a multitude of reasons for this, almost none of which are doctor's fault. Consolidation in health care is only going to continue - especially in rural areas - as a lot of their funding gets cut. That consolidation is bad for everyone.

That implies infallibility? To me, it implies fallibility because he recognizes his bias. As does this: I realize that's not ideal, and the link offers advice to communicate more effectively:

Narrator: No one did.

Of course they can. We've been over that repeatedly in here. That's your best source of doing your own research - a second opinion from a doctor. You addressed the assumption (which is based on what Term said - sure doesn't seem like he's talking about people who got a second opinion from a...

Of course we don't. But odds are he would have. Why? Because that's what the science says. Removing the tumor before the cancer spreads gives you better odds of living longer. Other doctors is also fine. That's not what Term was talking about as evidenced by the statement you quoted. Other...

I must be a in a different thread than everyone else. So let's use a real world example. Steve Jobs had cancer. His doctor told him he needed to remove the tumor. He decided diet and herbal remedies were what he needed to treat his cancer despite no evidence that those things would work. Do...

To be fair, he brought it up because folks were essentially saying you can't trust doctors because of the profit motive. Many of those who refuse to follow modern medical treatments, who the original poster described as those who do their own their own research, buy these alternative treatments...
