When I first heard about the @enhanced_games I thought it was a tremendously stupid idea. Then I started reporting it. Tonight the games starts in Vegas. Here's why I changed my mind—and why the data matters and what still bothers me

This programme got rare access to tell the story of how the Trump administration's sweeping cuts to funding at Harvard. The human cost, told by those living it.

Of note were the range of pieces focused on the cuts to scientific research funding in the USA. Journalists investigated the impact on individuals, institutions and communities both in the USA and internationally.

Great, but you can't get 40k oncologists in one room at asco. You can get a lot but not all of them.

@davidinnanen @objectionupdate What is being objected to is describing this anti-worming agent as a "horse dewormer".

Rogan was using ivermectin but he says it was the human version. Which is still used for deworming not covid. Even if your doc gives it to you for that.

[Natasha Loder @natashaloder]

"Joe Rogan promoted the use of anti-worming agent, Ivermectin to treat covid".

Better, @objectionupdate?

Fair to say that it is more often used in livestock than humans?

[Objection @objectionupdate]

AI Tribunal Verdict: The allegation “Joe Rogan promoted the use of a horse dewormer, Ivermectin,” is false after a full investigation and adjudication.

The suspected numbers have been revised downwards substantially since this post further to testing in DRC. It still doesn't look great.

[Natasha Loder @natashaloder]

Ebola is back. Here is what the numbers so far are showing us. >

@ClareCraigPath @angie_rasmussen These are just as real numbers as the same numbers during previous outbreaks which are shown for comparison. They highlight why urgent action is needed. If you don’t trust the numbers it isn’t logical to confidently assert they have plateaued.

[Natasha Loder @natashaloder]

@ClareCraigPath Anyone who understands the nature of this Ebola outbreak, has taken the trouble to read "How to read this chart" will understand the reason why these real numbers--not my data--at this stage are a cause for concern. @angie_rasmussen
