Health Care Organizations Must Prioritize Cybersecurity Before Undergoing Digital Transformation
By TRAVIS GOOD
The health care industry is rapidly embracing new technologies. Covid-19 changed the way many industries operate, and healthcare is one industry that was particularly affected by the pandemic. Many health care organizations were already undergoing digital transformations, but Covid exponentially sped up those processes. Health care providers and health-tech companies were forced to adapt to the new normal and change the way they operate. Here are 3 major ways health care has changed in recent times.
1. Increased popularity of telehealth services:
Covid made telehealth appointments a necessity,...

The (sort of, partial) Father mRNA Vaccines Who Now Spreads Vaccine Misinformation (Part 1)
By DAVID WARMFLASH, MD
Robert W. Malone, MD MS, is a physician-scientist who will live in infamy, thanks to the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast boosting his visibility this past December regarding his criticism of COVID-19 vaccines, particularly the mRNA vaccines (Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech). Subsequently, Malone was banned from Twitter, which further boosted his celebrity status. Describing himself as the inventor of mRNA vaccine technology, he has been reaching a growing number of people with a narrative that makes COVID-19 vaccination sound scary. We cannot embed clips from the Rogan interview, which lasted about three...

Beyond recovery: the case for transforming UK clinical cancer research
Cancer Research UK - This position paper finds that Covid-19 has worsened pre-existing barriers to clinical cancer research and recovering to a pre-pandemic ‘normal’ for research won’t be enough to deliver world-class cancer outcomes. Instead, the UK government must choose to go beyond recovery by expanding clinical research capacity, transforming how research is delivered, and supporting innovative cancer research.Position paperMore detail

Medicare Advantage Is a Superior Program (Part one)
By GEORGE HALVORSON
Former Kaiser Permanente CEO George Halvorson has written on THCB on and off over the years, most notably with his proposal for Medicare Advantage for All post-COVID. He wrote a piece in Health Affairs last week arguing with the stance of Medicare Advantage of Don Berwick and Rick Gilfillan (Here’s their piece pt1, pt2). Here’s a longer exposition of his argument. We are publishing part one today with part two coming soon – Matthew Holt
The evidence for Medicare Advantage being a superior program compared to standard fee-for-service Medicare is so overwh...

Innovation, mRNA, and Public Policy
Chris EdwardsThe main weapons against COVID-19 are the vaccines developed by Moderna and BioNTech after a decade of their research into mRNA technologies. That research was supported by more than $3 billion of private angel investment and venture capital.Democrats and Republicans both support medical research funding, and Republicans tout the Trump administration ’s Operation Warp Speed. But governments were not the key to mRNA development. Instead, we can thank the leaders and scientists at Moderna and BioNTech and the suppliers of private capital to them, as I discusshere andhere.TheWall Street Journal ’s A...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, November 22nd 2021
This study nicely illustrates the importance of the cellular metabolic state of myeloid cells: it highlights that not only the availability of glucose, but also its channeling into different pathways (glycolysis versus glycogen synthesis) contributes to maintaining proper myeloid function.

An Unnecessary Evil: How Canada Ended up Insuring Bank Deposits
George SelginI ' ve often drawn attention here tothe virtues of the Canadian banking system, especially as it was between the passage of Canada ' s first Bank Act in 1871 and the establishment of the Bank of Canada in 1935. Afterthe Scottish banking system that flourished between 1716 and 1845, it is generally regarded, by myself and other members of theModern Free Banking school, as the next closest thing to a genuinely " free " banking system. We also claim that such systems tended to be more stable than ones in which governments interfered more heavily.In Canada ' s case, this claim inevitably raises several questions. ...

Should the Bankrupt Feds Subsidize Cash ‐Flush States?
Chris EdwardsThe infrastructure and entitlement bills pending on Capitol Hill are bad formany reasons. Most of the proposed spending is for activities that the states could pay for themselves if they choose to, including spending on highways, transit, child care, and pre ‐school. It is more efficient and democratic for the states to fund their own programs than for Washington to intervene, asdiscussed here.Right now is a particularly poor time to increase federal spending on state activities because the federal government is running massive deficits, while state and local governments are running surpluses as tax rev...

The Staggering Ongoing Cost of Failing to Aggressively Pursue the Development of Rejuvenation Therapies
No feasible amount of funding that could be devoted to the research and development of rejuvenation therapies would be too much. If near all other projects were dropped, and institutions radically retooled on a short term basis, then the world might be able to devote $300 billion per year into medical research and development aimed at aging. That is an unachievable upper bound, of course. Given a few decades in which to train new researchers while rapidly and radically expanding existing institutions, then humanity might start to approach that scale of expenditure. Realistically it will take 20-30 years following the first...

The Victorian Government Once Again Expresses A Lack Of Faith In The #myHealthRecord.

The First Lesson of Constitution Day Is There Should Be No Forced Lessons on Constitution Day
Neal McCluskeyToday isConstitution Day, marking the anniversary of the drafting of the United States Constitution, a document that has survived – sort of – since 1787. “Sort of,” because that oft‐invoked document has been twisted, ripped, and shunted aside – and not through the totally Constitutional amendment process – so frequently it is hard to say that it is really still in force.Education – my area – is a perfect example of this. The Constitution only gives the federal government specific, enumerated powers, and none are about education. YetWashington annually spends tens ‐of‐b...
