The research study and conclusions drawn from it by Ladapo are seriously flawed:

The guidance from the Florida health department came in a terse release at 6:12 on Friday evening, ahead of a three-day weekend: Joseph Ladapo, the state’s top health official, warned young adult men to stop taking coronavirus vaccines by Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech, citing an “abnormally high risk” of heart-related deaths.

But Ladapo’s recommendation — extrapolated from a short state analysis that has not been peer-reviewed, carries no authors and warns that its findings are “preliminary” and “should be interpreted with caution” — was swiftly condemned by medical and public health leaders, who said the Florida surgeon general’s announcement was politics masquerading as science and could lead Americans to forgo lifesaving interventions.

More than a dozen experts interviewed by The Washington Post — including specialists in vaccines, patient safety and study design — listed concerns with Florida’s analysis, saying it relies on information gleaned from frequently inaccurate death certificates rather than medical records, skews the results by trying to exclude anyone with covid-19 or a covid-related death, and draws conclusions from a total of 20 cardiac-related deaths in men 18-to-39 that occurred within four weeks of vaccination. Experts noted the deaths might have been caused by other factors, including underlying illnesses or undetected covid.

“We’re talking about a very small number of deaths. An extra death or two would potentially change these results,” said Robert Wachter, chair of the department of medicine at the University of California at San Francisco and co-author of a patient-safety textbook used in many medical schools. “I’m hesitant to even call it a paper; it isn’t published anywhere. The idea that [the analysis] … is being used to change policy — it does not have the scientific chops to do that.”

“If you submitted that to a peer-reviewed journal, unless you were paying them to publish it, it would get rejected,” added Daniel Salmon, who leads the Institute of Vaccine Safety at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. He called Florida’s report “a dangerous thing to do.”

The fake punt was an amazing call. It worked because no one on the Montana State coaching staff or any of their players or anyone else in the stadium or watching the game on TV remotely expected it.. I jumped off the couch when I saw it. It was a brilliant play!

...Aggies, Griz, Vandals...bye, bye, bye...

Man, the local media in these sports crazy towns can be brutal...

Insightful comments, NCagalum. Thanks for posting.

Wow...look at Jake's stats:

In his second season with the Stampeders, Maier has seen action in eight games and made five starts. He has completed 76.4 per cent of his 178 passes, accumulating 1,526 passing yards with nine touchdowns and just two interceptions. He was named a Canadian Football League Top Performer for Week 16 after throwing for 294 yards with no interceptions in Saturday’s 25-11 victory against the BC Lions.

As a rookie in 2021, Maier played 11 games and made three starts. The UC Davis became the first player in CFL history to throw for at least 300 yards in each of his first three career starts and set a franchise record by completing 17 consecutive passes in a game.

Maier has completed 231 of 326 passes during his Stamps career for 2,864 yards and 14 touchdowns. He also has 22 carries for 70 yards and two majors.

That's great for Poly! That's similar to our new Athletics Center and will be a real benefit to the Poly athletes.

We're up at Mt Rainier and we have a big hike tomorrow so I'm turning in for the night. I hope we can keep it respectable...

I don't think that's going to happen.

But Hawk has said that FG's won't beat good teams...

Our DB's continue to get burned...
