In het licht van de oproep van Roel Coutinho e.a. aan het RIVM om verkeerde inschattingen toe te geven, gooi ik deze klassieker er nog maar eens in.

@Denkjewel @jigalkrant EW, hè. Eerst de feiten.

Dit boosaardige broddelwerkje in Trouw was voor mij de druppel. In een uitgebreid interview met EW Magazine ga ik in op de beschuldigingen van culturele toe-eigening, diefstal en culinaire genocide (!) – en waarom die volkomen uit de lucht gegrepen zijn:

Ligt het aan mij of is de onophoudelijke berichtgeving over het #hantavirus nogal hysterisch en zwaar overdreven? https://t.co/6AYczRrSjt

Now that everyone is an expert on curing pancreatic cancer in mice, not rats - I want to add some context that goes beyond the headline.
You will want to read this.

Cancer is cured in mice all the time.
Thousands of times. ~90% of those “cures” fail in humans.

Why?
Because mice are:
Genetically simpler.
Treated earlier.
Short-lived.
Not humans.

Mice are a filter - not a finish line.

Yes, this study matters. It comes from the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre.

Yes, it’s pancreatic cancer - one of the deadliest there is. Yes, full tumor regression is impressive.

But here’s what it actually means:
“This approach is now good enough to risk years, trials, and millions of euros on.”
Not:
“Cancer is solved.”

What happens next?
More animal work.
Toxicology.
Phase I (safety).
Phase II (maybe works).
Phase III (beats standard care?).

Maybe 8-10 years if everything goes right.

The real damage isn’t failed drugs.
It’s failed expectations.

Every “cured cancer in mice” headline trains the public to believe:
Cures are being hidden.
Progress should be fast.
Scientists are lying when reality hits.

That’s how trust erodes.

Bottom line:
This is how real cancer progress looks.
Messy. Slow. Risky. Incremental.

Not miracles.
Not conspiracies.
Just science - doing the hard work.

This paper does not show that eating meat makes you live longer.

It shows that wealthy countries eat more meat and don’t lose children to infection, famine, or war.

That’s called an ecological fallacy—the first thing taught in epidemiology, and apparently the first thing forgotten by people who read abstracts for content.

There’s no individual-level data.
No diet patterns.
No distinction between fish and hot dogs.
No mechanism.

Life expectancy is driven by sanitation, vaccines, antibiotics, and healthcare—not your ribeye.

To claim otherwise is not bold thinking.
It’s statistical illiteracy delivered with confidence.

A lack of erudition exceeded only by arrogance.

Germany's Merz admits:

It was a serious strategic mistake to exit nuclear energy.

We are now undertaking the most expensive energy transition in the entire world.

I know of no other country that makes things so difficult and expensive as Germany.

And just like that - nearly $2 billion in federal mental health and addiction grants were terminated last night.

Hundreds of programs providing overdose prevention, naloxone, peer recovery, and street-level mental health care were cut effective immediately.

MAHA right?

[Robert Graham @robertgraham]

You can't debate crazy in a live setting.

RFKjr cites a study of 44k people, with 21 deaths in the vaccine group vs 17 in unvaccinated, of all causes. The error this time is "statistically insignificant".

Each time RFKjr misrepresents a study, you don't know which of many errors he's making. You can't guess in real time.

There's no way to rebut this in real time.

Whatever guess you make will be proven wrong, and all that does it make it look like RFKjr is correct.

You could configure some expensive AI that's analyzed all his books and recent writings, to create a list of all the studies he's referenced, and why each has been debunked. So maybe with modern tech there will be a way.

But right now, no, you cannot debunk him in real time.

What I like about this is that it’s low risk. Basically nothing can go wrong.

Kweekvleesproducent Meatable uit Delft houdt ermee op. Investeerders willen er geen geld meer in steken. https://t.co/aSga7xPQRO. In 2018 rekende ik al voor waarom kweekvlees nooit iets kon worden. https://t.co/W64Gprwolc Jammer maar helaas!
