They ended up getting charged for “refusal to hand over to the judicial authorities a secret encryption key of a means of cryptology”

@who You can see that the European region has had a couple of #Flu seasons compared to"the world". Are we starting to see the interaction between flu & #SARSCoV2 in these data (at the population level).

'A democracia é de todos e isso é muito bonito. Mas também é bonito cada um saber qual é o seu lugar e a sua seara. Ver a direita portuguesa arrogar-se o papel de defender as comemorações do 25 de Abril da presença de um político de esquerda, como Lula da Silva, é como ver alguém opor-se à presença de um aniversariante na sua festa de anos.'

For decades, hipsters have claimed that when #BobDylan went electric at Newport '65, Pete Seeger threatened to cut the cable with an axe, framing Seeger as an old fuddy-duddy folk purist. This postcard at @BobDylanCenter is the smoking gun that proves otherwise.

My two cents: this should be the rule and not the exception - and it should not be up to the companies. Data from negative trials must be made available.
"In 2018, a group of drug companies agreed to do something unusual in their normally secretive industry. They decided to share confidential clinical data from six failed trials with each other and a select group of specialists who had been brought together by the Alzheimer’s Association, a lobby group for patients’ rights based in Chicago, Illinois."
"We report the largest study yet on the impact of lifelong social stress on healthspan, aging-associated diseases, epigenome, and lifespan in multiple mouse laboratory strains."

'Senate Bill 17, sponsored by the chair of the Senate Education Committee, is now before that committee. That bill would shift greater authority to the university boards of trustees, would prohibit the use of diversity statements in faculty hiring, and would abolish the activities of diversity, equity and inclusion administrators.'

'While estimates vary, public housing represents roughly 2 per cent of Portugal’s housing stock and between 1 and 3 per cent of all homes in Spain — below the EU average of 7.5 per cent and far off France’s 14 per cent and nearly 17 per cent in the UK.'

'However, in response to the decision, three members of the Food and Drug Administration’s expert independent advisory committee, which voted almost unanimously against approval, resigned, with Harvard professor of medicine Aaron Kesselheim describing it as “probably the worst drug approval decision in recent US history.”1 Given that existing treatments for Alzheimer’s disease have only marginal benefit at best,2 what does aducanumab’s controversial approval in the US mean for patients, clinicians, and researchers?'
