Unfortunately our legal corpus, tied to abstractions of classical liberalism, stops short of a prescriptive program.🌊 But health law accounts for vulnerability rather than autonomy & remedies harm, centering care as a norm."

ICE has fallen out of the headlines but July marked the largest number of migrant detentions ever on record. Five migrants have died in ICE custody in the last two months. It's also currently impossible to legally migrate to this country, as 100% of visa applications have been paused.

I have quantified measles deaths globally on behalf of the WHO since 2012. We attribute any death within 4 weeks of a measles case to measles. Measles is immunosuppressive and the proximate cause is often a secondary infection that would otherwise not have led to death.

The FDA just approved daraxonrasib, a breakthrough drug for advanced pancreatic cancer that doubles survival time. This is huge: pancreatic cancer was once thought untreatable. The researchers received a standing ovation when they presented the trial results, unheard of at scientific conferences.

A report from the Office of Inspector General found that the number of federal OSHA inspectors dropped 13% from February 2024 to June 2025. Combined with state inspectors, there are now approximately 1,720 OSHA inspectors responsible for covering 144 million workers across many industries.

Up there with “giving out samples to promote smoking is free speech”
I will add, long before this became federal, red state legislatures have been working hard to destroy academic freedoms about what faculty can even say. In Oklahoma, we were told that we could be fined and/or jailed if we provided "material support that led to a student getting an abortion."...
Ian Boudreau@ianboudreau.com · 2w agoI guess it's kind of hard to view the dismissal of one grublike phrenologist as a major hit to free speech after major American universities have in the past year banned the use of words and eliminated entire departments in the hopes of pleasing the senile president
Wow. I knew Gene Kelly wanted to muscularize dance but had not known he enlisted Sugar Ray Robinson as part of that effort. Amazing tap dance performance here showing too that no boxer can leave his hands down by his sides.

mRNA vaccines vs cancer success —melanoma (Phase 3, RCT, definitive, announced today) —triple negative breast cancer —pancreatic cancer —non-small cell lung cancer —glioblastoma
I hate to be a catastrophist but last year the COVID vaccine received FDA approval on 8/27/25 and the shots became available about 2 weeks later. We are still waiting for this year's formula. However... IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO GET ONE BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS!

Learned of Nicholas Roerich by running into the Roerich museum in our neighborhood. Utterly peculiar and enthralling. Among many, many other strange things he did in life, Roerich designed the set and costumes for Nijinsky's ballet set to Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. www.roerich.org
