It’s eerie to think about how much of where we are today was so easy to predict. We and others, working from deductive reasoning, called it point for point (ht @fitterhappierAJ, eg). This is a talk I gave over two years ago, based on our work then: 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️.

Had a request for updated US cancer deaths data. Haven't posted data for a while. Seemed like nobody cared anymore, but here's annual cancer deaths. Crude rate is basically unchanged for a decade, age adjusted sets another all-time low.

I will say, by way of nuance, that he was (once upon a time) spot on about anti cancer therapies. He called BS on personalized medicine even while everyone was drinking the koolaid about it. As a contrarian myself, his is a cautionary story- a memento mori, if you will (2/2).

It’s always darkest before dawn. @VPrasadMDMPH has been egregiously and bizarrely wrong about so much- about Covid, vaccines and RCTs. Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out, my dude! . Mañana será otro dia. Que se joda este tipo. (1/2).
