@Phage_84@DrSamuelBHume Not in expert on what’s happening here, but with a grain of salt the ~20 men with colorectal cancer I’ve treated under 45 have not been obese
@MrPhresh225@SawyerMerritt@SpaceX Have you seen photos at the leadership of xai? X? Elon himself came to the US on a visa. I think what you know may be of question, but you’re right, as they mentioned the techs will be locals.
@Anc_Aesthetics@liberalpuppy Unless you’re retarded it means India needs sanitation help and America needs gun help. Or if you’re simple you think it’s somehow more respectable to have kids die singing the pledge of allegiance by a gun than a very poor kid dying of illness
As a rad onc, I’d be careful calling this causal.
The “radiation-related” category includes melanoma and prostate cancer, neither of which has a particularly convincing ionizing-radiation dose-response in BEIR VII or the atomic bomb survivor data. For melanoma, UV-A exposure through cockpit glazing seems at least as biologically plausible, and the invited commentary itself raises this for pilots.
The paper’s own numbers also make the claimed “specificity” more difficult to buy. Flight attendants had an OR of 1.21 (95% CI 1.14–1.28) for cancers classified as non-radiation-related. That is clearly elevated too, and looks more like a general cancer excess than a radiation-specific signature.
No dose-response was able to be evaluated by years of service or route either, which you'd want if this were really a cosmic radiation story. And no adjustment for reproductive history, circadian disruption (already IARC 2A for breast cancer on its own), or PSA screening intensity, all plausible drivers of exactly these cancer sites.
Very interesting occupational signal and absolutely worth pursuing with actual dosimetry. But “yes” is a stronger conclusion than a death-certificate study can earn.
@guiltedsociety@EricTopol I am a strong believer in ALARA(concept of minimizing radiation), but intermittent imaging studies and continuous multi year daily exposure should not be seen as one and the same. Over imaging is an issue but my personal opinion is that it’s over blown (re exposure not cost)
@AriDavidPaul@gametheorizing AGI is not close in medicine. I’ve tried all the publicly available models as a radiation oncologist. They give me their idea for the plan which is kind of reasonable. Probably agree 50% of the time. But that is just the idea of the plan the execution is 3% of nec
@wholemars You might be right. Not really sure. As a Michigander, however, it’s not worth the risk to my community. Chinese EVs will cannablize ford, gm and with them their suppliers
@4yourcountry@wolfejosh Don’t know what they’re doing. Maybe some religious ceremony? Guaranteed most of these bros have gone fudge shopping a bike riding around the island. If you were a Michigander you would know these dudes own your gas station. Fight for your beliefs but make sure you’re part of it
@ArthurMacwaters I thought she did a great job both letting him talk and aggressively steel manning. She did try some media tricks, but I thought Elon thrived in this setting
Maybe a hospital CEO that self-insures, can explain this to me.
For your medical benefits, for your hospital employees, why would you hire an ASO that requires a Pre Authorization, and then issues denials for the care that YOUR DOCTORS, the ones that work for you, recommend for your employees and their families ?
In other words, even though you are paying for the care, that your doctors recommend for your employees, the benefits administer that you hired , is saying. It to trust your doctors.
Do you not trust your doctors ? Or do you trust the ASO, probably owned by a big insurance company, to dictate care for your members, over your doctors ?
I just don’t understand why the CEO doesn’t just say, “trust our doctors”.
And one more question , do even know which life threatening episodes your employees or their family members have had denied ? Shouldn’t you want to know the severity and what it would take for them to get the care your docs require ?
Anyone got any feedback on this ?
@SadJCosi@mellowpropane You’re all over the place. It seems like the issue you care about is immigrants out. Which is fine you have a right to yours. I care about health, education, and safety. Well just point our energies in different directions
@SadJCosi@mellowpropane There may be a problem the scope of which I don't understand. I'm happy to admit that, but I also believe if every immigrant was removed from the country today, it would not improve childhood under education one iota. My point is that it's a red herring in the education problem.
@SadJCosi@mellowpropane Yea no preference is given to foreign kids in public schools. The issue is a lack of self reflection. It's not $$$. They are doing what you are doing. Looking for a scapegoat and passing the buck onto someone else. 3rd graders not reading is the fault of the family and community.
@SadJCosi@mellowpropane phd spots are open for Americans that are not filling. To have an industry we have to train someone. Stop pointing your finger at people grabbing opportunities and instead empower local kids. Let’s not burn an industry to satisfy your armchair opinion
@e_to_n@jackunheard Look at all the people who care about what she has to say. Instead you just have me, a bored shit poster of equally low iq. Gotta mean something
