No, The Presidential Election Was Not Rigged by Hacked Voting Machines
Julian SanchezDonald Trump ’s crusade to manufacture doubts about the outcome of the presidential election reached a new low on Thursday, when the president shifted from making vague, evidence ‐free assertions of massive and systematic vote fraud to promoting a specific and frankly bonkers conspiracy theory —disseminated in ALL CAPS to the president ’s 89 million Twitter followers—alleging that software developed by Dominion Voting Systems had “DELETED 2.7 MILLION TRUMP VOTES NATIONWIDE” and that “221,000 PENNSYLVANIA VOTES” had been “SWITCHED FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BIDEN.”This is embarr...

Joe Biden won. What does that mean for health care?
Presuming the North Carolina and Alaska Senate seats remain in Republican hands, the Senate will come out no better for Democrats than a 50-50 tie with Vice President-elect Harris being the tiebreaker. If Republicans win at least one of the two Georgia run-off Senate races, the Republicans will maintain control, and the Democrats will not […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

What Will Shape Joe Biden ’s Health Care Agenda?
I’m thrilled to have health futurist Jeff Goldsmith back on THCB, and given Biden was only confirmed as President-elect this morning, his article on what to expect is extremely timely!–Matthew Holt
By JEFF GOLDSMITH
The Trump administration’s health care journey began with a trillion dollar near miss–the failed Repeal and Replacement of ObamaCare- and ended with a full-on train wreck, the catastrophically mismanaged COVID epidemic that will have claimed 300,000 lives by the time he leaves office. After four years of posturing and lethal incompetence, it will be a relief to see caring and pr...

What a Biden Win Means to Health Care
Biden has won. Presuming the North Carolina and Alaska Senate seats remain in Republican hands, the Senate will come out no better for Democrats than a 50-50 tie with Vice President-elect Harris being the tiebreaker. And, if Republicans win at least one of the two Georgia run-off Senate races, the Republicans will maintain control and the Democrats will not have the votes to move any partisan (Source: Health Care Policy and Marketplace Review)

Breaking my rule
As I often say here, I try avoid making predictions, especially about the future. (Yes, highly original.) However, to the extent I have relevant expertise and there is good enough information to fit into the model, it is sometimes helpful. Joe Biden will assume the presidency on January 20 confronting enormous problems. Right now, it ' s conceivable that Democrats will effectively control the Senate, which would make a huge difference, but that will require winning two head-to-head Senate races in Georgia. That seems a less than 50/50 bet, but without the Dumpster on the ticket it ' s hard to say how motivated G...

They've Gone Coup-Coup
Science confirms consistent neurophysiological and psychological differences between conservatives and liberals. How they react to threats. Their reliance on the observable and their response to presented facts. Evolutionary biologists have theories, but it ’s intuitive that, in addition to rationalists, primitive societies benefitted from people who don’t need no damn proof to react to perceived threats. Noises. Shadows. Gut feelings. It could avoid becoming a meal.Who knows why such brains remain in circulation? Individuals are safer now. More often than not, there ’s time to think, evaluate. Threats from saber-too...

This Is Who They Are
Featured guest at last week ’s pro-Trump, “Stop the Steal,” Proud Boils rally in D.C., Reich-wing radio hero Alex Jones had this to say: “We will never back down to the satanic pedophile globalist new world order and their walking-dead reanimated corpse Joe Biden. And we will never recognize him. So I don ’t know who’s going to the White House in 38 days, but I sure know this: Joe Biden is a globalist, and Joe Biden will be removed one way or another.”“One way or another.” Subtle as an NDA for a prostitute. And the armed and strutting delusionists cheered. After hearing much the same from Mike “I...

Differing Medical Professional Cultures Shape How Clinicians, Staff Handle InfoSec Issues
Data from a recent research study suggests that the subcultures in which nurses, doctors and healthcare support staff work can have a big influence on whether they’re likely to comply with healthcare information security policies.

It ’s All Over But the Counting (and Litigating?)
Ilya ShapiroAs expected (or feared) the presidential election is too close to call. A little after midnight, Joe Biden made a short speech at a drive ‐in amphitheater to declare “We’re gonna win this.” Then Donald Trump spoke to a packed East Room in the White House at about 2:30am and asserted, “We did win this election,” claiming several states that had yet to be called and making allegations of fraud and disenfranchisement. You can get the latest results at your preferred news site — I’m neither a pollster nor political reporter — but here’s why there are delays in the six...

Detention, Dignity, and a Call for Bioethics Advocacy
A federal complaint filed last month on behalf of a nurse who worked in the Irwin County Detention Center in Georgia alleged that immigrants held in this U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility were medically neglected and forced into solitary confinement for speaking out, and that some underwent unnecessary hysterectomies.

Hepatitis A in the United States
Few Americans are aware of a major epidemic that has taken hold of large areas of their country in recent years – by a disease that is easily diagnosed and prevented. Sadly, public – and even professional interest in these events have been overshadowed by COVID-19.
AN UPTICK IN CASES
Hepatitis A had been largely under control until three years ago and can be easily prevented through the use of a safe and effective vaccine.
From January 2017 to January 2019, at least 26 separate outbreaks were reported, to a total of 11,628 cases and 99 deaths, nationwide. Homeless individuals and users of illicit dru...
