This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - “overthrowing May right now” and in “London with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing

You're right, of course. But when we get epi data that shows a dose response, we *always* hear that it's more likely to be causal because dose response. And then when there's not a dose response, well, it must be a threshold effect. Causality is just always assumed. Drives me nuts.

I will admit to not knowing this precise biology well, but why would this not be plausible? Dosing efficacy ranges exist, and depending what it’s doing it’s plausible varied exposures produce sometimes paradoxical outcomes. An example of this is mirtazipine.

Tamar, be a little careful at interpreting the point estimates on their own. The confidence intervals for quartile 2 are large such that I have little confidence there is any effect. The differences between q3 & q4 are unlikely to be real.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.
