The Financial Times has an excellent summary of today’s end of the “Biden administration’s mask requirement for passengers on public transport, which officials extended just days ago… The decision on Monday from [Judge] Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, appointed by former president Donald Trump, threw the administration’s masking policy into confusion, and airline workers warned of the possibility of clashes between passengers and staff following the judgment.”

Several days ago, a congressman had a nasty encounter with a rabid fox on the D.C. Capitol building grounds. Let’s trust that he is no worse for the wear. But the question lingers: How did the fox know he was from California? Is this some sort of sign from above?

Even if you have had COVID, and some restrictions in your area have been lifted at least temporarily, life is definitely not normal, especially in medicine. We live under an increasingly authoritarian regime, which falsely claims to “follow the science,” but is really based on fear.
Warning: Much of what follows is “anecdotal,” scorned by the “evidence-based medicine” establishment. We can no longer believe our eyes and ears. Of course, a single or a few observations must be replicated before we change medical practice or societal policy—unless they support a politically correct objective. But what to do in the meantime? Wait for a study that will probably never be done because the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will not fund it?
Or at least listen to our patients and their associates?
