“What we’ve done in this administration,” Bhattacharya said, “is we’ve given permission to scientists to honestly answer this question, to find the link [between autism and vaccines] for the first time.”Sigh. Scientists have always had permission to find this link if it was there. Thing is…it ain’t. Honestly.

Yet reason 1,283,873 NOT to use Amazon for your healthcare. Doc alleges she was fired for raising patient safety concerns.
Amazon should be treated no differently than a private equity group buying out a hospital. They paid 3.9 billion for that system and now like with a private equity acquisition its $$$$$ profits over people as the wring every bit of money out of that place then will walk away leaving shattered lives and a empty hulk of where a medical practice used to be.
Study after study demonstrates worse outcomes after this happens (see next reply)

Neil deGrasse Tyson's StarTalk Podcast - February 28, 2026
"How did we go from digital computers to AI seemingly everywhere? Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chuck Nice, & Gary O’Reilly dive into the mechanics of thinking, how AI got its start, and what deep learning really means with cognitive and computer scientist, Nobel Laureate, and one of the architects of AI, Geoffrey Hinton."Hinton explains the fundamental shift from logic-based rule programming to the biological approach: building systems that learn the way a brain does. Learn about the history of computer science that led to the breakthroughs we have today. We break down the structure of artificial neural networks and the meaning of AI buzzwords like “deep learning” really mean. You’ll learn about the layering of data processing and how the first layer of neurons might detect a simple edge, the second a beak, and the third a bird’s head."
Apologies for going overboard with the mentions and hashtags, but this was one deep podcast and there were a lot of topics covered that are relevant to AI:

UC Riverside: A gel for wounds that won’t heal. “As aging populations and rising diabetes rates drive an increase in chronic wounds, more patients face the risk of amputations.

able to keep their previous provider. Side note: the hoops, jeez.
That's one data point the scammers don't seem to have.
Anyhow, this f***ing sucks.
And does CoveredCA have a fraud contact for the public?
Doesn't look like it. And I don't fault them because our healthcare system is so f***ed that patients can't distinguish legit from dodgy anyway.
Long story short, #fedihelp me. Know a contact? DM me, thx.
Oh, the insurer? Good luck with getting a human on the phone.

A very exciting model to deal with BC communities’ chronic issue with a lack of family doctors! This method of making doctors (and their employees) municipal employees so they can stop having to deal with all the business burden of family practices. https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/cities-hiring-family-doctor-1.7638292 #BCPoli #bc #ubcm #heathcare

Donald Trump's destructiveness is shown in this political cartoon by Marian Kamensky.
Why is Trump destructive?
Because Putin hates America, and Trump is #PutinsPuppet.
This also explains why Trump put #RFKjr

Y'ALL.
I got an email from Stand Up For Science inviting me to send a "Quack-o-gram" to my representative for $3.
Stand Up For Science will hand deliver a rubber ducky and the serious message "KENNEDY MUST GO" to your member of Congress, all for less than the cost of a latte.
I call that a deal. 😂 🦆

"On Friday, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management issued a memo announcing that, beginning in 2026, all federal employee health plans will be barred from covering gender-affirming care—including hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries—for both transgender youth and adults. The sweeping prohibition affects health benefits for more than 10 million federal workers and their family members, marking one of the largest rollbacks of transgender healthcare access in U.S. history. Even more disturbing, the memo mandates that insurers cover “faith-based counseling” for transgender individuals, otherwise known as conversion therapy. Taken together, the provisions appear designed not just to strip access to necessary medical care, but to coerce federal workers into detransitioning or leaving public service altogether."#Transgender #NonBinary #Heathcare

“One of the most direct ways to improve a flawed system is simply to end the ability of rich and powerful people to exclude themselves from it.”
This really hit home for me as my provincial conservative government is intent on “improving” healthcare by boosting private options.

CW: :arxiv: MEDVOC: Vocabulary Adaptation for Fine-tuning Pre-trained Language Models on Medical Text Summarization
This work presents a dynamic vocabulary adaptation strategy, MEDVOC, for fine-tuning PLMs for improved medical text summarization. MEDVOC treats vocabulary as an optimizable parameter and optimizes the PLM vocabulary based on fragment score conditioned only on the downstream task's reference summaries.
