#Covid19 is not a simple respiratory infection. It affects many organ systems. Here is some evidence for the #prostate.

Today I filed a formal complaint against #YouTube with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner for their illegal deployment of #adblock detection technologies.

Under Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC YouTube are legally obligated to obtain consent before storing or accessing information already stored on an end user's terminal equipment unless it is strictly necessary for the provisions of the requested service.

In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.

🌍Digital data can travel freely across geographical boundaries. But what happens to our rights to have our data protected if they are half across the globe?

@OpenRightsGroup sheds light on the UK extension to the EU – US Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework

The extension provides a sneak peek at:

⚠️the future of UK international data transfers
👁️the erosion of essential guarantees against #surveillance that the UK #DataProtection reform would bring.

Interesting preprint dating whole genome duplications in vertebrate evolution relative to hagfishes, which I had missed this Spring:
• 1 genome duplication before, 1 after hagfish divergence, +2 at the basis on cyclostomes
• nice investigation of relation between genome duplication and morphological diversification (not much).

My latest for @thenation. We know what good policies look like, BUT we are terrible at figuring out how to keep them, make them flourish. Building on the idea of policy "feedback loops" from Jamila Michener at Cornell, Connie Razza at Social and Economic Justice Leaders Project. This is one of the most critical lessons we have not learned yet in public health.

Pfizer more than doubles price of life-saving COVID antiviral, Paxlovid

The price hike is expected to exacerbate already poor uptake of the drug.

Individual rare diseases are... rare. But taken together, they affect a significant fraction of the population. We need to develop a sustainable economic model for gene therapy.

"As a result, while the number of people eligible for any single gene therapy might be small, the total number of people eligible across all of them could soon be significant. Annual spending on gene therapies could increase from $5.15 billion 2020 to $25.3 billion in 2026."

"It's important to remember that the 'drugs' aren't just the pills we stash in our medicine cabinets. Ask yourself this: is it really acceptable that we only bothered to test sex differences for general anesthesia in 1999? Turns out women wake up faster than men, regardless of their age, weight or the dosage they've been given."

From Cat Bohannon's highly recommended book Eve.

This one was delicious.

Covid increases the risk of heart attacks. A mechanism that has recently been supported, at least in some people affected, is promoting coronary atherosclerosis and plaque instability
