Haro sur le capitalisme, la globalisation et le profit! La non affaire TEVA

TEVA semble hors de cause dans les décès qui ont frappé les patients âgés, souffrant de pathologies chroniques lourdes et prenat du Furosémide (DCI).
Et pourtant les gauchistes s'étaient déchainés! L'Europe, la globalisation, les chinois, le profit, TEVA géant israélien, tout y est passé pour attaquer dénigrer et faire le sale boulot idéologique. Les génériques pour les pauvres et les médicaments de marque pour les riches, le message n'est il pas assez clair...

Et bien sur le principe de précaution, indispensable garde fou de l'argent roi.

Oui mais voilà les preuves factuelles étaient bien mal étayées; la précipitation, l'emballement sans retenue d'une presse où il n'y a plus beaucoup de journalistes mais des agitateurs de dépêches; tout cela a jeté le trouble et probablement inquiété sans mesure les patients.
Il faut faire machine arrière mais cela se fera dans le silence.
Il n'y a pas dans cette situation nouvelle de bouc émissaire à désigner idéologiquement, pas de bénéfice en terme d'écoute à détricoter une si belle histoire, on va vite surfer sur autre chose...

It is difficult to find the limit of Big Brother expansion

Defending the one percent

No mistake! I am not defending privilege nor collusion. A free market with an open society is by far the recipe of wealthiness for all not egalitarianism but true opportunity.

The actual text of Nietzsche:

“strange though it might sound, one has to defend the strong against the weak; the fortunate against the unfortunate; the healthy against those degenerating and afflicted with hereditary taints.”
Nietzsche, Will to Power, p. 364

How many gay men owe their sexual orientation to fraternal birth order?

Abstract

In men, sexual orientation correlates with the number of older brothers, each additional older brother increasing the odds of homosexuality by approximately 33%. However, this phenomenon, the fraternal birth order effect, accounts for the sexual orientation of only a proportion of gay men. To estimate the size of this proportion, we derived generalized forms of two epidemiological statistics, the attributable fraction and the population attributable fraction, which quantify the relationship between a condition and prior exposure to an agent that can cause it. In their common forms, these statistics are calculable only for 2 levels of exposure: exposed versus not-exposed. We developed a method applicable to agents with multiple levels of exposure--in this case, number of older brothers. This noniterative method, which requires the odds ratio from a prior logistic regression analysis, was then applied to a large contemporary sample of gay men. The results showed that roughly 1 gay man in 7 owes his sexual orientation to the fraternal birth order effect. They also showed that the effect of fraternal birth order would exceed all other causes of homosexuality in groups of gay men with 3 or more older brothers and would precisely equal all other causes in a theoretical group with 2.5 older brothers. Implications are suggested for the gay sib-pair linkage method of identifying genetic loci for homosexuality.

Interaction of fraternal birth order and handedness in the development of male homosexuality.

Abstract

The present study investigated evidence for an interaction between two of the best established etiologic factors, or markers of etiologic factors, in the literature on male homosexuality: fraternal birth order and hand preference. By combining five samples, the authors produced study groups of 1774 right-handed heterosexuals, 287 non-right-handed heterosexuals, 928 right-handed homosexuals, and 157 non-right-handed homosexuals. The results showed a significant (P = 0.004) handedness by older brothers interaction, such that (a) the typical positive correlation between homosexuality and greater numbers of older brothers holds only for right-handed males, (b) among men with no older brothers, homosexuals are more likely to be non-right-handed than heterosexuals; among men with one or more older brothers, homosexuals are less likely to be non-right-handed than heterosexuals, and (c) the odds of homosexuality are higher for men who have a non-right hand preference or who have older brothers, relative to men with neither of these features, but the odds for men with both features are similar to the odds for men with neither. These findings have at least two possible explanations: (a) the etiologic factors associated with non-right-handedness and older brothers-hypothesized to be hyperandrogenization and anti-male antibodies, respectively-counteract each other, yielding the functional equivalent of typical masculinization, and (b) the number of non-right-handed homosexuals with older brothers is smaller than expected because the combination of the older brothers factor with the non-right-handedness factor is toxic enough to lower the probability that the affected fetus will survive.

Queer is an ubiquitous ideology!
