Singles remind me of kisses, albums remind me of plans. RT= taking a bite on a biscuit.

@AmericanGal2021 @NBCNews We're so tired of R corruption and self dealing, and you should be, too: They are stealing your tax dollars.

@Acyn These disgusting jackasses need to be forced to listen to Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women until their ears bleed

[Richard Foxall @RichardFoxall1]

@ScottJenningsKY Do it. I dare you. But if you don't, we'll just assume it's true. I know what's going to happen, you bootlicking wimp.

[Richard Foxall @RichardFoxall1]

@RossKneeDeep @Mikethewander1 And, like nearly all of his boasts, it won't happen.

[Richard Foxall @RichardFoxall1]

@Republicans Trump bragged on tape about committing sexual assault. And the list of Republican sex creeps is endless. And Platner is being forced out, as was Swalwell. Have some shame.

@3YearLetterman @RepThomasMassie Opa!

@RadioFreeTom @jonathanchait Tbh, that's Stalinism, not at all what Marx and Engels envisioned. Also shares a lot of features with Caudillo-ism and aspects of German " National Socialism," especially when combined with nativism.

Phenomenal job of disproving a major anti vax claim. Sadly, it won't satisfy many antivaxxers because it doesn't provide a simple answer consistent with their priors and requires some understanding of statistics

[Prof Jeffrey S Morris @jsm2334]

It has long been known that SIDS follows a characteristic background age distribution: risk rises over the first couple of months to a mode at 2 months, a median around 3 months, then declines sharply through 12 months.

SIDS wasn't formally defined until 1969 — but this same pattern shows up in related infant-death categories going much further back. Abramson (1944) presented a table with the age distribution of accidental mechanical suffocation in infancy in New York from 1934–1943, well before any routine infant vaccination. This table displays this characteristic pattern.

To see how stable this pattern is, I pulled the data from the Abramson table and digitized the figures from three later SIDS studies, then normalized each to an annual age distribution summing to 100% to put them on a common scale:

1965–1968, USA (Washington)
1993–1996, UK
1979–2005, pooled across 15 global datasets

Overlaying all four (plot below), the age distribution has stayed remarkably consistent across many decades and completely different vaccination eras — from before routine infant vaccines existed, in early days of vaccination, through the modern schedule.

That's rather inconvenient for the claim that the SIDS peak at 2–4 months must be vaccine-caused simply because vaccines are given around that age. The peak predates the vaccines and persists unchanged regardless of them.

It also drives home why adjusting for age confounding is essential in any analysis of whether SIDS risk rises after vaccination. With a background curve this steep, a method that doesn't adjust for age will conclude "vaccine harm" no matter what — even when there is no vaccine effect at all. That's exactly what my simulation studies found: a 100% false-positive rate under the true null when age went unadjusted.

Full links to every paper, the source tables and figures, the extracted data, the normalized distributions, and everything needed to reproduce these plots are in the posts below and in the GitHub repo linked at the end of the thread.

@AuthorMJClifton @ThinkngMansGame Starting with "old friend." These sociopaths are pure transactionality, none of them are actually friends as any of us would recognize it. A friend would have urged McConnell to retire at least a term ago and to repent of his hateful ways.

[Richard Foxall @RichardFoxall1]

@JoshRainerGold @avi_eisen That's what they want us all to think.

[Richard Foxall @RichardFoxall1]

@b_connerton @Acyn You're either a parody account or so dim you forgot that Trump has been credibly accused of, found liable for, and boasted on tape about committing sexual assault. Or you're a paid troll.

[Richard Foxall @RichardFoxall1]

Absolute hypocrite. When did they walk away from Trump who BRAGGED about committing sexual assault?

[Acyn @Acyn]

Kevin McCarthy on Platner Allegations: That one thing I know about Republicans is when we had a very bad candidate, we didn't vote for that person. We walked away.

[Richard Foxall @RichardFoxall1]

@covie_93 It was predictable. Because his hypocrisy is as innate as breathing.

Literally a couple days ago the jackass in chief said he knew the most about sports. Delusional, narcissistic clown since the 1970s.

President Donald Trump comments on the USA team’s loss vs Belgium in the World Cup:

“There’s always next year.”

[Richard Foxall @RichardFoxall1]

The sad truth. Trump and the R party sided with a murderous autocrat

[Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien]

Last night Ukraine could not intercept a single Russian ballistic missile. The USA deliberately starving Ukraine of Patriot missiles is now clearly understood by the Russians as American support for their terror bombing. The USA is helping Putin kill Ukrainians.

@HinesAllTheTime @Acyn And yet perfectly legal because we tailor the law to wealthy financiers

@SlavaMalamud @Kasparov63 @TomGulittiNHL Of course not. They never will.

@Mtrbke200054270 We fought fascists in WWII. After that, we just fought to keep oil companies, banana sellers, and military contractors rich in places we had no business being.
