My rant for the week is on the absolute garbage about the need for equity to fight mythical systemic racism in health care.

Actually some pretty interesting research this morning.

Breakthrough events by age group.

This week's breakthrough events continue to show a predominance of vaxed ones.

Another diversion into the follies of climate science.

Due to odd pandemic spending patterns, health care spending and price growth is below general growth in those categories.

More research summaries, heavy on vaccines and the effect of prior infections.

Higher prices for health care aren't associated with better quality.

An updated look at the year-over-year charts, from which some interesting facts can be gleaned.

An updated look at week-over-week cases and change in cases shows very low current activity.

A pictorial look at comparative vax and unvaxed cases, but serious questions about the data.

A few more research gems, okay maybe not gems, but supposedly research.

A couple of quick notes on climate propaganda, and that is exactly what it is. Truth hurts.

Minnesotans pay more and more for schools, while children learn less and less.

A pernicious trend in the US health system has been the consolidation of hospitals and purchase of physician practices by these larger health systems.
