Ok, so a bit of clearing as well

It's a bit early, but due to a stressful family situation,

combined with my brain's inability to shut up for the night, I'm about shot.  Therefore the data is a bit early.  So stay out of the streets with the idiots, and stay out of the too-damned-crowded clubs and such, relax, and spend New Year's Eve checking the data.

Isn't lying under oath a criminal act?

For that alone a bunch of these people should be prosecuted.
A letter from Lawrence Tabak, the National Institutes of Health’s principal deputy director, to Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) confirms that the NIH funded research at the WIV during 2018-2019 that manipulated a bat coronavirus called WIV1. Researchers at the institute grafted spike proteins from other coronaviruses onto WIV1 to see if the modified virus was capable of binding in a mouse that possessed the ACE2 receptors found in humans — the same receptor to which SARS-CoV-2 binds. The modified virus reproduced more rapidly and made infected humanized mice sicker than the unmodified virus.

Starting in 2014, the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, funded the New York-based research nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance with annual grants through 2020 for “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence.”

And on.

Let us now retire to a chair and

get to studying

I feel the need to post, well, something, so

But we're supposed to trust them...

Maya Forstater took to Twitter to point out that it was hardly surprising that the findings showed women having similar clinical features as males when almost half the “women” studied were male.

Others suggested that publishing such a study would undermine the public’s trust in the medical world.

“Same people doing these studies are the folks angry that people are not trusting medical authorities and consuming ‘misinformation’,” tweeted Jeremy Carl, a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute.

Others took issue with the use of ideological terms such as “cis” and “assigned female at birth,” arguing that this discredits the scientific journal.

This is not the first time The Lancet has opted to use the language of gender ideology over scientific terminology. Last year, the cover of its September edition used the term “bodies with vaginas” to describe women.

Place I worked for so many years used 24-hour time,

which I was used to.  My problem was at home: it was shift work, and there were times I'd wake up, look at my 12-hour clock, and- especially in winter with so much dark- have to get up and figure out if I could go back to sleep or had to get up.

So when I found an alarm clock that would set to 24-hour, it was wonderful.  Still  have it, but now it won't set to 24-hour.  Not much problem now that I'm not getting up at 11 or 12 at night to get ready for work, but I miss it a bit.

The Swedes were right about lockdowns, masks, and other Wuhan stuff, too.

The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare (NBHW) published new treatment guidelines for youth with gender dysphoria last week that explicitly instruct medical providers that psychosocial support should be the first line of treatment. The updated guidelines follow a 2021 policy change that jettisoned the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to treat gender dysphoric youth, outside of a clinical research setting.

“Psychosocial support that helps the young person live with the body’s pubertal development without medication needs to be the first option when choosing care measures,” the guidelines read, according to the Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine.

The NBHW “deems that the risks of puberty suppressing treatment with GnRH-analogues and gender-affirming hormonal treatment currently outweigh the possible benefits, and that the treatments should be offered only in exceptional cases.”
