A disturbing video from Hyderabad shows a private school attendant violently assaulting a young child, including kicking and dragging the student across the floor. The child has been admitted to the hospital for treatment.

In my village, I used to go for tuition to Raman sir. He was the one who taught me algebra, and especially correlations. I still remember a question he gave me, “The correlation coefficient between X and Y is 0.48, covariance is 36, variance of X is 16. What is the standard

It’s been 24 hours since he tweeted, and I still can’t tell if the “56 shots” is a medical discovery or just another chest-thumping variant.
@ParijatSen11 The success of polio vaccine is not proof that we need 56 shots now. We used to have 3-4 and now we have 56. The question is "how many vaccines are safe for young babies with immature immune systems" and the question is NOT "we need none of them".

Parents should take this analysis seriously. I believe there is increasing evidence that we are giving way too many vaccines to very young children. This is spreading in India too and we are seeing a rapid increase in autism in India.

You’re mistaking disillusionment with evidence. Public trust fell after COVID because of fear, misinformation, and politicization - not because vaccines or medicine stopped working. The irony is that this erosion of trust is exactly what makes misinformation thrive. RFK Jr.
@DipshikhaGhosh I stand by everything I have said. I do deep scientific and technological work and do not need your certificate on my scientific literacy. Particularly after Covid, trust in Big Medicine is at an all time low. Most published scientific papers are useless. That is why RFK Jr

Vaccines don’t cause autism. But claiming they do — despite overwhelming evidence — is an easy way to grab attention. @RameshPV2010 and I discuss why hearsay isn’t science, and how such misinformation harms society. @sumitjha__ writes.

Multiple large-scale, peer-reviewed studies have found no causal link between vaccines and autism spectrum disorders.

@amitguptabliss You are a hyper specialist in neo-natal care. You cannot possibly _scientifically_ know all the _long term_ effects of every shot we give young babies because you do not clinically see those neo-natal babies once they grow out of that stage. Please cultivate an open curious mind

@SadhguruJV must have had @svembu in mind when he said, "Confidence and Stupidity are a very dangerous combination, but they often go together." Carry on...
@RameshPV2010 I will not delete my post. I stand by what I said. The term "Dodgy western source" should be applied to FDA and CDC recommendations, by the way. Those institutions do not deserve blind faith. The brave doctors who are questioning the dogma are doing a valuable service. Science

There are millions of parents like this. Pay attention to their voices. All manner of auto-immune diseases have skyrocketed and vaccines directly program the immune system. It is very reasonable and very scientific to ask about unintended side effects. Here is a medical

🧵Who is Francesca Orsini? Many people here have expressed ignorance about her work. Lets change that. Her google scholar profile mentions that she has 2500+ academic citations. That’s over two thousand published journal articles or academic books referencing her work.1/n
I have no views on this scholar Francesca Orsini. Had never heard of her. But those of us from a rooted background, who speak Hindi at home, read Hindi books as well, can only roll our eyes at this rather bizarre claim that 'few have shaped our understanding' of Hindi literary

Why have Opposition parties in Bihar failed to mobilise a progressive coalition and compete with the NDA? They possess no organisational ideology designed to mobilise progressive constituencies

This is the downside of homogenization of culture. A word or gesture that works for the BJP across the UP border can feel like an insult to Mithila’s heritage in Bihar. As a Maithil, it hurts to see our proud symbol, the paag, thrown to the ground. https://t.co/C7HI3lruBC

Oh absolutely, I got one too, it’s been fantastic, doubling as my laptop stand for ages now. Truly a life-changer.
It’s always beneficial to buy J Sai Deepak’s books second-hand. They are comparatively cheaper and always fresh as new.

This advice is morally and ethically wrong, and is also criminal. The below is the exact reason why SC/ST PA act exists. Which proves to be right why it needs to exist. Your morality seeks cruelty, not equality.
My Advice to Gen Category youth : Do not hesitate even for a moment to insult, invalidate & humiliate such reservation seeking jokers. They are below you in skill, marks & capability. Don’t think even for a moment before making their life a living nightmare. As simple as that

I've lost the ability to do something I've always loved - watch films. The whole struggle of trying to build a career made me lose the only thing that was actually personal to me. I still watch films, but it feels like a burden. I'm a defeated cinephile.

This is not the first time when a doctor is made scapegoat for the failure of government authorities Remember Dr Kafeel Khan ? He was made scapegoat similarly in gorakhpur oxygen supply tragedy which was the work of govt authorities yet he faced similar torture and harassment

Doctor? Incidents happen in govt institutions, the govt procuring agency is responsible for it, not the doctor. The chain of command leads from procuring agency to supplier to manufacture to state drug regulators to CDSCO to Chemical and Fertilizer Ministry. There is no doctor
