Recently, I saw this poll: I said ‘unsure’, but that is just a fragment of what I think. Here is my answer (leave yours in the comments). My answer is: it depends on who is asking.

Just recently, in casual conversation, someone commented to me that “they” already have a cure for cancer but are hiding it. This is a claim I frequently encounter.

It is my pleasure to introduce this article by Joseph Marine, MD in response to mandatory masking policies in a number of California hospitals. There is simply no randomized evidence to support these policies, and they make little sense in 2024. I worry about the mental abilities of the public health officers who instituted these policies, and that their actions will further erode trust in public health.

I have impostor syndrome: never thinking I’m good enough, always imagining that everyone else is doing a better, safer, stronger job than me. That everyone else is more organised, prepared and together, and I’m just about managing.

The story begins in Nottingham UK in 1980. It was a small study at one hospital. But its lessons are large. First the background. I believe the CAST trial (1991) was the most important trial in all of modern medicine. It showed that the common practice of using drugs to suppress rhythm disturbances (anti-arrhythmics) in patients after heart attack (myocardial infarction) led to higher death rates.
