Vinay Prasad, MD (Heme/Onc) gives a very good rundown on why this trial is so important. He also points out why having accurate data for screening recommendations is so crucial. USPTF has been making recommendations recently without data to back up them up and get appropriately taken to task for that.

"He prefers iconoclastic approaches, whether by directly funding asteroid detection or advocating for nuclear power to combat global warming."

Ooh, scary dude. /s

Kids nowadays. I remember when nuclear power was a futuristic clean energy sort of ideal and when the way we figured out who was right and who was wrong on a complex topic was to let both sides openly debate and then pick who is more credible by how each is able to rally the facts in defense of their position.

Beware your society, which is doing the same thing to people like Kirsch that it did to Socrates two thousand years ago. The masses never change, apparently. All that changes is whether they're held in check or whether they're exploited by demagogues.

That article is a great example of snarky pile-on.

Remember: you’re not being paranoid, if they are actually out to get you.
