Lessons from 50 Years of the War on Cancer, Looking Ahead to the War on Aging
Today I'll point out a high quality commentary on what we might take away from the War on Cancer, launched 50 years ago. In the longevity advocacy community, the notable past success in building a cancer research community, as well as in persuading the public to support large-scale efforts to bring an end to cancer, are viewed as an aspirational goal. Over the years there has been talk of attempting to reproduce these successes in order to engineer public support for a War on Aging. There were many moving parts to the War on Cancer: decades of preliminary patient advocacy and lobbying; the evolution of public attitudes tow...

Leadership lessons from Dr. Fauci PODCAST
“Dr. Fauci navigated the delicate balance between his obligation to the American people as one of our most respected physician-scientists and holding on to his job in a federal government whose leader doesn ’t take kindly to independent thought that potentially upstages his own.

Our Healthcare System Needs More Than Policy Overhaul: It ’s Time for Private Sector Innovation to Kick into High Gear for Our Health’s Sake
By SACH JAIN
Last year I was heading to a meeting on a Fortune 500 business campus and stumbled upon a bake sale. It was odd to see someone selling cupcakes and breads on the grounds of a major corporation, so I inquired. As it turns out, Judy, an employee, was selling baked goods to finance her insurance deductible for spinal fusion surgery.
“Is this what our system has come to?” I asked myself, “Fundraisers for fusions?” If so, our health system is broken.
No matter how you slice it, Americans spend more on healthcare than any other advanced economy, with households responsible for 28% of that spen...

The Days of Miracles and Wonder
Here ' s a good overview by Derek Thompson in The Atlantic ofthe history of mRNA technology. This heretofore obscure field of biomedical research burst into view with the Covid-19 vaccines, but the apparent suddenness of vaccine development was misleading. As I have noted here before, the technology was decades in development. As the technology became more mature, Pfizer partnered with one of the speculative ventures, BionTech, originally to develop flu vaccines, and then of course pivoted to Covid-19. Unlike Moderna, Pfizer actually didn ' t take federal funding for that final stage of development. But for most of the dec...

Joshua Greenberg on Antebellum Paper Money
George SelginAlerted by a tweet by him, I recently listened toa December 2020 C-SPAN talk, on " Paper Money in Antebellum America, " by historianJoshua Greenberg, the author ofBank Notes and Shinplasters: The Rage for Paper Money in the Early Republic.I haven ' t yet read his book. But Greenberg ' s talk is worth a listen. I was especially intrigued by his suggestion that, because they had to deal with so many different banknotes, including many of doubtful value, early Americans acquired a degree of financial savviness they sorely lack nowadays. Greenberg ' s related thesis that, by virtue of their very lack of uniformity...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, March 22nd 2021
This article expresses sentiments regarding medical technology and human longevity that we'd all like to see more of in the mainstream media. At some point, it will come to be seen by the average person as basically sensible to work towards minimizing the tide of suffering and death caused aging and age-related disease. It has been, in hindsight, a strange thing to live in a world in which most people were reflexively opposed to that goal.
Death and aging constitute a mystery. Some of us die more quickly. We often ask about it as children, deny it in youth, and reluctantly come to accept it as adults. Aging is uni...

When Technology, Policy, and the Urgency to Change Converge
Our new book,The Digital Reconstruction of Healthcare, is about to be published by Taylor and Francis, as part of its HIMSS book series. We wanted to give readers a preview of what ’s to come so we are posting the Preface of the book ahead of time.In our last two books, we began the conversation discussing the power of words, including misdiagnosis, cynicism, and optimism.1,2In this book, our focus is onreconstruction, and all its implications for healthcare. To some, it might suggest the tearing down of an existing structure, a complete replacement of the healthcare ecosystem as we know it. Neither of us believe that ...

As One Licensed NC Physician To Another Unlicensed One (Dr. Mary Johnson to Dr. Mandy Cohen/NC DHHS Secretary): PROTECT MEDICAL WHISTLEBLOWERS NOW!
Related to mylast post - which went up (after much soul-searching and trepidation) on 2/28/20201 one of the biggest complaints (coming largely from folks reading on mobile phones) was that the post was " so long " . They wanted something more " concise " . The post relates my own horrific pandemic experience with Central Carolina Hospital/ApolloMD and Duke Lifepoint in Sanford, North Carolina. It ' s my third dance as a medical whistle-blower in 23 years. And much like the first two cases (Asheboro in 1998, and ETSU/Ballad Health in 2017), it ' s really NOT " soundbite " material (it would ...

A North Carolina Pediatric Hospitalist Tells Her Pandemic Story to Senator Richard Burr: Thirteen Months (And Counting) In Medical Whistle-blower Hell - Courtesy Of Private Equity/For-Profit Healthcare And Cruelly-Indifferent/Morally-Bankrupt State & Federal Oversight
Author ' s Note: I cannot " sound-bite " the last year - and perhaps it ' s time to write the book. Scroll about half-way down to read the letter to Senator Burr. The bottom line is that for thethird time in 23 years, as a Pediatrician staffing a community hospital, I was fired " with-out cause " immediately after intervening in a neonatal ( " bad baby " ) case, rescuing the situation/ " saving " the baby, and reporting it INTERNALLY to Peer Review. NO discussion. NO recourse. NO review. A total cover-up. And EVERY SINGLE TIME I ' ve asked the state/Federal government to enfor...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, March 1st 2021
This study may have important implications for preventing cell senescence and aging-induced tendinopathy, as well as for the selection of novel therapeutic targets of chronic tendon diseases.
Our results showed that the treatment of bleomycin, a DNA damaging agent, induced rat patellar TSC (PTSC) cellular senescence. The senescence was characterized by an increase in the senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity, as well as senescence-associated changes in cell morphology. On the other hand, rapamycin could extend lifespan in multiple species, including yeast, fruit flies, and mice, by decelerating DNA damage ...

New Cato Research on Immigration and Espionage
Alex NowrastehCato released my newpolicy analysis about espionage and immigration. It is the culmination of many months worth of original research to meticulously document and quantify every espionage and espionage ‐related criminal conviction in the United States from 1990–2019 – including those convicted of economic espionage, theft of trade secrets, and other related commercial crimes. Although my goal was to find each one, I undoubtedly missed a few, but the sample provided here is still large enough for analysis. Espionage is a serious issue that impacts American national security and that freq...
