There are many stories about “germ theory” and "hygiene hypothesis" based on unfortunate misunderstandings and simplifications.
We do need microbes to be healthy, but you don't have to get sick to be healthy! That's not how it works.

Building AnteSum has been a steep learning curve.From basic coding to reading about vector databases (and a bit of ML on the side).

OK #medsly I remember someone on medtwitter talking about how their system was starting a program to have their ED and ICU nurses cross train to care for ICU patients in the ED. I feel like it was in Michigan maybe? Does this ring any bells (or does anyone know of a program like this?)

Wow. New NBC poll finds 78% support vaccines, including 72% of independents and 67% of Republicans.
As I keep trying to argue, Democrats should polarize the shit out of the vaccine/public health debate. Make people take sides. It will split Republicans and MAGA.
