Ronca decided to […]

One infusion. One time. Possibly forever. A breakthrough gene-editing treatment just slashed LDL "bad" cholesterol by up to 62% — and the results are holding 18 months later. Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the small study of 35 patients could reshape how we fight heart disease, which kills 800,000 Americans annually. No daily pills. No repeat treatments. Just one shot. Experts call it potentially "game-changing." Larger trials are next — but the early signs are extraordinary. The future of heart health may have just arrived. #HeartDisease #GeneTherapy #MedicalBreakthrough #Cholesterol #Health #Science #Medicine #NEJM #Innovation #Healthcare nytimes.com/2026/05/25/health/…

How conspiracies are cultivated

It is bad enough with a minority of people subscribing to conspiracies from vaccine health to 5G telephone signals, but if the FDA are refusing to release the results of their studies then they will grow. Any reasonable person will be asking why? Two extreme views might be posited
- they are dangerous and we are not being told
- this is a deliberate attempt to create the conspiracies

The crisis in care for the elderly in one graph.

In the last ten years while the population of the over 75s has expanded (reflecting the slow if sometime halting rise in life expectancy & better medical outcomes for the elderly), so care beds per thousand of the population of over 75s has fallen.

If you're wondering why hospitals have difficulty discharging the elderly into care, this may not be the only factor, but its also hardly insignificant.
