RFK literally said "there is no vaccine that is safe and effective." Lots of other things that only a nutter could love. https://apnews.com/article/robert-f-kennedy-vaccines-trump-rfkjr-7f8dcb25de76a5a70710d22bbc63f6fa

Holy cow I just realized it's at 7:30 pm pacific.

One of my coworkers had shingles and had lingering eye issues, as well as some neuralgia, which she said was awful. I hustled my butt in to the MD office and got the two series Shingrix. As with most vaccines, the minor inconvenience of the vaccination pales in comparison to the actual...

I hope both games happen. USC is just SW of DTLA so that shouldn't be a problem. UCLA campus is currently closed so we'll see I guess.

Good points. I have to temper my own Hawktimism at times. He seems like he'll be the starter, so that means he's prolly pretty good. I don't expect him to be Carson Wentz, who ironically, played at an FCS school.

I want to root for the B1G and have traditionally hated ND. However, the ND coach is great, and his team is pretty impressive to watch in terms of their play and behavior. PSU-Franklin is an absolute dbag. So, I'm not terribly sad.

The PSA test (prostate specific antigen) is a blood test that is an indicator. However, it's not ultra specific as a higher PSA can also be caused by benign enlarged prostate, so if your PSA is high, they might have to do a digital rectal exam.

Kudos to you for dropping the A1C through diet modification. That's impressive! My wife has some genetic predisposition for high cholesterol. She's super fit, but had a really high number. She dropped it into a normal range without drugs through diet and exercise. But, she did get the lab...

I got the shingles vaccine, after some thought. I had a couple of colleagues who got shingles and it's rather awful. You can also have some ugly neurologic and ophthalmic sequelae from shingles. So, I got the vaccination series and I also had a 102 fever. I was informed of the side...

I have been extremely active my whole life, and have been blessed with great health. I didn't used to go to the doctor, but now, I'm a bit older and go to a primary care doctor for routine preventive care. That care includes monitoring of labs and cancer screenings. It's important (for those...

I had mixed feelings. I root for the big ten and generally dislike Notre Dame. But... it's fun to see "big game James" Franklin lose. Tough one for me.

Goddamm that's incredibly logical and thoughtful. Thanks for the post. Politicians and conspiracy theorists made this a thing.

Well, I'm a thoughtful person who has the ability to think critically, and discern. There is ample evidence about Purdue pharma and their practices. They've lost in court and people have been studying the fallout for years. Please provide evidence in the same manner about vaccines. Better...

Read my post on how the establishment (medicine, drug companies, and regulatory agencies) have really exacerbated the opiate problem. It's a complex issue and one significant factor in these newer waves of synthetic, illicit opiates causing death is the previous over prescription of opiates...

I just had a very close friend have a major stroke. He had unchecked/uncontrolled hypertension. He's now in a nursing home. Extremely sad. Everyone stay on top of your blood pressure!!

Thanks for the post. I listed them not intending for them to be ranked in order. Your clarification is a good one.

Smoking has decreased dramatically through legal pressure on tobacco companies, public education (which was huge), and cost. All approaches have mattered. I'm not sure if you're keeping up with the latest research on alcohol, but the Surgeon General is advocating for putting a warning label...

You make some valid points, but let me ask you... do you smoke? Edit: I think there are merits to interdiction efforts and targeted elimination of drug producing centers, but we've tried that before to a certain extent, and had limited success. This would be a great discussion topic, as...

I'll be floored if this new guy isn't the starter. He appears to be quite a bit better than anything we have in the QB room now. I mean, he's already projected to be "draftable" by the NFL. Not so many hawk QBs are in that category.

Agree, and thanks for the insights. I read an article that schools will indeed have to consider Title IX. Having said that, they may put these athletes in tiers, giving more money to some (football) and less to others. Both men's and women's sports would be paid, but some athletes would get...
