Remember when in 2020 there was a study that claimed that newborns with Black doctors had half the mortality rate of those who had White doctors? There was a lot of hoopla surrounding it, with Cori Bush demanding more diversity in medicine. Well someone took that data and repeated the analysis but this time correcting for low birth rate, and the disparity in mortality rates was no longer seen. Someone should have raised concerns when the original study showed that there was no correlation with the mother's race, and that the bias was increased at hospitals where there were more black babies delivered. Is it plausible that White doctors were more biased against Black babies but not their mothers, or that at hospitals with more Black babies that those would be locations where more biased doctors would practice? One obvious flaw was that in the first study, the authors were not physicians. They were in business administration, health policy, electrical engineering or labor economics. A real doctor would likely have pointed out flaws in the study design.

Unfortunate. Interest in Long COVID seems to be disappearing. Or maybe it's the vaccine, and they don't want to say so. Or can't bear to think about it since they probably got vaxxed, too.

Someone created the ultimate high school math cheating device – a TI-84 (one of the few allowed to be used to take tests) that can connect to the Internet and access ChatGPT. Still seems like a lot of work.

What the F do we need a vice president for? Biden's cabinet meeting is being run by his wife. And the Cabinet members play along like everything's just fine. The country is f*cked up.
