Is this seriously your argument? The point is that men who have sex with men (commonly abbreviated to MSM in sexual health literature) have higher incidence of HIV and STDs. I think your point is ridiculous (from both personal experience an

If the prevalence of HIV in bisexual men is significantly higher than it is in heterosexual men (it is) then clearly they represent a higher risk. Sorry if numbers offend you. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007&#

I wish there was anything close to this in healthcare. Most medical group meetings are: a)A small number of people that understand the issue (generally specialists) being drowned out by: b)A large number of people with a vague understanding

Making that assessment based on one appearance on a podcast is a pretty weak conclusion. David Swanson has taken several openly anti-Russian positions: https://davidswanson.org/why-russia-is-crazy/

This is probably a good time to endorse the work of the World Beyond War. https://worldbeyondwar.org/ And to remind everyone that militarism is a major public health threat, a significant cause of death, injury, homelessnes

I'm curious, you seam to have a particular animosity towards physicians. (Or at least animosity towards the idea that physicians should be well reimbursed.) Is there a particular reason for this? In a world where people are making bill

Not sure the opportunity to work for the federal government is a great way to incentivize the best and the brightest. Doctors already come from a variety of different backgrounds.

I encourage you to rethink this stance. https://worldbeyondwar.org/ - is an organization dedicated to the abolition of war. I encourage you and anyone reading this to take a look. Also take a look at possible alternatives.

On the euthanasia point I would agree that this should be a legal option (but on a humanitarian rather than a financial basis). We definitely need do do a better job with end of life care/terminal diseases - in practice this would look

Thank you for sharing your experience Will. Fortunately there is a growing body of evidence that MDMA and psychedelic assisted therapy could revolutionize the treatment of mental health disorders. Unfortunately, for the last 50 years, gover

You've articulated a very real problem that exists across all public policy and communication. As other people have stated, its not as simple as lie/don't lie. Many people simply don't want to acknowledge certain realiti

Your comments are unusually poorly informed and mean spirited for HN. Here is a course on neuroscience to get you started. Take a look and get back when you may have some idea of what you're commenting on. https://www.course
