The Post-Partisan Emporium

Women's Tears Win in the Marketplace of Ideas How belief in the blank slate plus residual gender double standards create "cancel culture," and the difficulties of fighting back Richard Hanania Having  mentioned the concept  a few times, many have been encouraging me to write a Substack on the feminization of political life and its connection to free speech issues. Noah Carl  beat me to it , and the idea has also been picked up by no less an authority than  Tom Edsall at the  New York Times .  I’ve already written about the overrepresentation  of women in HR.  We can understand the decline of free speech as a kind of female pincer attack: women demand more suppression of offensive ideas at the bottom of institutions, and form a disproportionate share of the managers who hear their complaints at the top.

A Reader's Story on her concerns about the mRNA vaccines And why she decided to skip them NE - nakedemperor.substack.com I recently saw a comment on the  Insights from Beyond the Grave  substack, from a reader expressing her concerns about the Covid vaccines.

I also did a postdoctoral fellowship in innate immunology in pregnancy and the connection between infection and p

The Bradford Hill Criteria - 'cuz the cowards of Causation denial need complete conversion Slide by slide - all criteria assessed. Jessica Rose Slide 1: The 10 Bradford Hill Criteria. The World Health Organization (WHO) requires that only 5 are satisfied to show evidence of causation. I will use 10. Slide 2: This is Moderna’s ‘efficacy data’ that reveals safety issues. The chi-square test indicates a statistically-significant difference between Sever Adverse Events (SAEs) in placebo versus messenger RNA (mRNA)-1273 groups. And it’s messed up how 2.7 times higher rate for mRNA arm. Sounds like old Moderna needs to go back to the drawing board to me. Slide 3: R = 1 means perfect correlation. Not by chance. Each dot is the number of doses/disability per state. Slide 4: Same but different. Slide 5: The 3 biggest adverse event data collection systems are showing the same thing: over a million adverse event reports in the context of the COVID-19 injectable products never before seen. The
