@AnilMakam And now in California Medi-cal, GLPs only covered for non-diabetics when you have searched for MASH or OSA if they haven’t had ASCVD yet. Really pushes for unnecessary screening if they already have known risk factors.
@zachklein I’d recommend reassessing your priors on this. My understanding is that BART current taxpayer subsidy is significantly less than comparable systems, and this current fiscal shock has nothing to do with their efficiency or performance.
@venkmurthy It’s absurd. If the rules were so clear why would they then ask him how long he was going to remain at the FDA. That wouldn’t make sense since how would any answer not be somewhat identifiable
@markasaurus@zachklein At the vigil for the two-year old who was killed on Friday, Supervisor Dorsey explicitly mentioned how the fire department would need to sign off on any road changes.
@AnilMakam The adverse event slide seals the deal for me. You’re giving an additional 5 percent of everyone an “influenza-like” fever to prevent ILI with a NNT of 142!
@AnnalsofIM@ACPIMPhysicians These recommendations are laughable given the risk of anyone progressing to severe covid in 2026 is practically zero. I would be embarrassed to be putting these out.
@softsweep@anish_koka This is the correct answer. Anish totally left out that the applicants can also “discriminate” for or against programs. As a student, I once overheard an OB attending say that they “didn’t think that men should be allowed in OB/GYN”. Guess what, they had no male residents!
Even if you take the conservative defense of each ICE killing, you’re left with “We haphazardly scaled up a poorly trained police force to storm into neighborhoods that voted against the president, where we antagonize the local population until someone resists arrest, and then we kill them,” which is morally horrendous on top of being an absurd way to do immigration policy.
@JaneKim@Meaghan_M “We need a universal public option (because I plan to continue to regulate all private options to the point where they leave the state)”
