Andre Picard is one of the main health issues reporter for the Globe and Mail, Canada's equivalent to the New York Times. Given he's Canadian he's ultimately small potatoes and his views are not important (), but it's as if a top New York Times columnist published an article questioning whether we need to worry so much about cancer. Typing that sentence out I realize that may have already happened. It is wild to see the same type of media consent manufacturing processes used to minimize the impacts of high inflation or arguing that it's the immigrants causing Canada's high housing prices (another current local "issue") being used to question the utility of cancer screening and treatments. At least the CDC director isn't outright declaring that we need to learn to live with rising cancer rates. The Oldest Man posted:also you don't necessarily need to have an actual conspiracy for this when you can instead build an entire grant and trust system that can be selectively deployed toward think tanks and academics who will reliably come to the right conclusion about whatever topic on their own, that's the american way Yes exactly. One of the key strengths in the model of the media consent manufacturing system is that no-one needs to be in control, but instead pro-capitalist views naturally get amplified and reinforce each other through consolidated for-profit media organizations. Maybe some politically and economically powerful individuals/group are aware of what they're doing and purposefully try to shape public opinion, but everyone in charge could be completely clueless and disorganized and the general opinions that get widely distributed would be largely the same.

wait wtf these are different guys trying to make cancerphobia happen 😳 what's going on? Why our fear of cancer is outdated — and harmful www.washingtonpost.com - Mon, 08 Jan 2024 posted:David Ropeik, a former environmental journalist and retired instructor in the environmental management program at Harvard University’s School of Continuing Education, is the author of “Curing Cancerphobia: How Risk, Fear, and Worry Mislead Us.”

Today is one of my on-site work days, and it’s just hitting all the classics so far. I have to show a co-worker and my supervisor a website issue found yesterday, and not only is the only possible way to demonstrate it clearly by them looking directly over my shoulder for 15 minutes, but the co-worker multiple times let’s us know he’s just barely managing not to throw up the entire time. Weird, must be something going around. That’s immediately followed up by a mandatory company-wide HR meeting with the presentation essentially being “Stress and anxiety make you unproductive, you probably can’t change the cause anyway, so chin up, buttercup. Also sure is great we’re past that pesky pandemic!” I will continue to trust my respirator, thanks.

I'm going to take a guess that behind all this is like some retreat or luncheon that this guy David Ropeik went to that was incidentally part-sponsored by a philanthropic or research fund that just happens to receive substantial contributions from like DuPont

Yeah this is my first day back in two weeks and the first thing I overheard this morning was two coworkers discussing how both of them have recently had parents with "mild strokes" who can't walk or talk properly now. Lmao everything is mild

mawarannahr posted:wait wtf these are different guys trying to make cancerphobia happen 😳 what's going on? this columnist dumbass posted:Heart disease kills roughly 15 percent more people than cancer each year. Yet the National Cancer Institute budget is $7.3 billion, while the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute spends only about $2 billion researching and working on prevention of heart disease. I've uh... got some ideas that don't need money!! what if instead we did things that weren't devolvable to Number Size??

now compare the number of people killed by cancer / number of dollars spent on cancer research ratio to the number of people killed by violent crime / number of dollars spent on police ratio and an interesting thing occurs

Here's a weird bird disease from Australia: Lorikeet Paralysis Syndrome. Every few years between October and June (peaking around Dec-Feb) usually after heavy rains in a very specific region of Queensland they'll see hundreds and hundreds of lorikeets suddenly develop paralysis and lose the ability to move, squawk or eat and sometimes they can't even blink or swallow. This has been going on for at least a decade and maybe as far back as the 1970s but they still haven't pinned down the exact cause, although they're now pretty confident it's because of an introduced plant species which the birds have been feeding on. Which plant? They have no idea. They usually get a couple hundred cases a year but this last season has seen a huge surge and there's been nearly 4,000 known cases. Here's a recent news article: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-12/qld-lorikeet-release-parlysis-syndrome-clenched-foot/103576066

I’m going to pair these three for no reason. https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1758184147225280952 US government failure to protect frontline workers from COVID led to thousands of deaths, scientists say CDC rift with Cal/OSHA over when to use N95 masks could put California health workers at risk again We did it, Joe! We put everyone at risk indefinitely. It’s a total victory for #healthequity! Platystemon has issued a correction as of 23:04 on Mar 28, 2024 |

very cool a relative’s Dr is suggesting the booster may have contributed to their ALS diagnosis. and this is at a Vanderbilt. a previous Dr blamed the vaccine on a mis diagnosis of some other neurological issue.

Oh well apparently it's just too hard to redesign the department so we don't drag airborne infection patients through the control room. It's just too difficult you see. Very expensive.
