We reported last year that California’s wildfires were offsetting the emissions cuts associated with California’s expensive cap-and-trade system. Here’s the 2021 update. At what point will the federal and state government be charged for emissions due to their failure to management public lands so as to reduce acreage burned?
A new epidemiology study reports that natural immunity confers better protection against COVID than current vaccines. I’ve been publishing JunkScience.com for 25+ years and can’t think of a single epidemiology study I’ve seen that was worth anything. That has now changed. This study reports that vaccinated individuals were 13 times more likely to have a breakthrough infection than individuals with natural immunity. Assuming the results actually are what they are reported to be, that’s an impressive odds ratio, worthy of being taken seriously. The result also has obvious biologic plausibility. For comparison purposes, the usual epidemiology crap we’ve been debunking for decades generally have meaningless odds ratios on the order of 2.0 or below, often 1.1 and below and even on the order of 1.01 and below (where an odds ratio of 1.0 means no effect). Of course, the study results need to be replicated. But it’s lookin’ good so far.

Check out Jim Enstrom’s letter to the editor of Nature about 69 million Medicare records made available to Chinese researchers in the US. The lead researcher mentioned is Emory University’s Liuhua Shi, who is from China and may still be a Chinese national. Is anyone making sure China isn’t stealing personal and private Medicare data?
