JasonDJ@lemmy.zipto politics @lemmy.world•RFK Jr. to require placebo-controlled studies for new vaccines0·2 days ago-
Have there been any studies that show placebo effect doesn’t really apply to infectious disease? I would wager that there is one, if not several.

Wouldn’t the unvaccinated public, exposed in the early days of a pandemic, then be an effective control?

JasonDJ@lemmy.zipto World News@lemmy.world•Happy birthday, David Attenborough! 99 ways he has inspired us, by Barack Obama, Billie Eilish, Morgan Freeman – and many moreEnglish31·3 days agoThis guy inspires millions, if not billions, with his soothing voice.
His brother? Spared “no expense” building a state of the art theme park that ended up killing so many people (and almost killing his own grandkids) before it opened that they had to scrap the whole thing. And it was a damn good thing his granddaughter knew Unix systems (and wasn’t eaten first), or it surely would’ve killed more.
JasonDJ@lemmy.zipto politics @lemmy.world•Most Americans see Trump as "dangerous dictator," poll says0·7 days agoRight? Like I thought everyone agreed the Japanese internment camps was a dark spot on our history.
Guess it’s just because we like the Japanese now?
JasonDJ@lemmy.zipto World News@lemmy.world•Major nations agree on first-ever global tax on greenhouse gases with plan that targets shippingEnglish1·23 days agoYeah, it will.
But at the same time, carbon is way too cheap.
It sucks…but by not paying for the externalities of consuming carbon, we’ve been making the planet less habitable for all, but especially poor people. Heavy carbon emitters are always upwind and upstream of poor communities. We ship out our worst waste to third world countries.
Something’s gonna have to give. There’s no easy solution. But I’d definitely take carbon taxes over tariffs. Targeting nation-states arbitrarily isn’t going to fix anything, but targeting the shipping industry will.
There’s no good answer.
That’s a tough one. I’d have to say April 25th. Because it’s not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.
