Who’s Afraid of Science?I was invited by Yulia Mikhailova to deliver a Guest Lecture to the New Mexico Technical Institute on Wednesday February 2.

The image of dog or bear in a burning house with an untested fire extinguisher is one that many medical managers have used when referring to the Covid crisis and vaccines – the vaccines may not be perfect but we are in a burning […]
The Evidence that Counts for FDAThis is part one of a two part post. The image is from the opening sequence of Raiders of the Lost Arc and shows Indiana Jones being chased by angry natives with the shakiest of means of escape – like trying to escape in a Ford Pinto which risked bursting into flames. A Fireser 747 […]

Je Suis Charlie: You are MichaelNearly seven years ago now, two brothers burst into the editorial offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris, where they killed twelve people and injured eleven others.

Chronicle of a Tyranny ForetoldThis post links intimately with the Dia de los Muertos post on RxISK. El Naufragio de lo Singular was published two weeks ago.
