1215 gestand Johann Ohneland dem Adel ein Steuerbewilligungsrecht zu (Magna Charta). Daraus entstand das Budget- und Gesetzgebungsrecht des Parlaments, Kernstück der Demokratie.
Zölle sind Steuern. Deshalb ist das Urteil des Supreme Court richtig. Trump sollte es beachten.
Hintergrund: Der US-Kongress als von den Bürgern gewähltes Parlament darf Zölle beschließen. Dafür gibt es aber keine Mehrheit. Der von Trump ernannte Richter Gorsuch schrieb in seiner klugen Begründung, Demokratie beruhe gerade auf der Idee, dass eine Mehrheit von Menschen klügere Entscheidungen treffe als ein einzelner.
Bei den Zöllen zeigt sich das klar: Trump hatte geglaubt, US-Verbraucher würden unveränderte Preise zahlen und ausländische Lieferanten billiger liefern. Da hat er sich gründlich verrechnet.
Falls Trump die Zwischenwahlen im November verliert, dann nicht wegen der sozialistischen Ideen der Opposition, sondern wegen steigender Preise. Die „affordability” hat in den USA frühere Modethemen wie Gender und Klima abgelöst. Bei uns könnte das ähnlich kommen.

From 0 to 1: My take on the NEJM single-trial FDA paper
I went in somewhat skeptical but came away much less so. My overall impression is that this is a clever way of pushing toward better single-trial applications, which in many cases has already been the practical status quo. Framing the approach as one trial plus confirmatory evidence judged on robustness across several factors (with rights reserved) makes sense, and I can see how it could lead not only to stronger trials, particularly with good comparators and ideally clinical endpoints, but also to stronger reviews.
A few things that stood out to me:
• The emphasis on internal credibility across multiple dimensions was compelling. I read it as prioritizing internal validity over automatic external replication, while still keeping replication as a tool the FDA can require when needed.
• It also seemed loud and clear that using the best comparators will be key.
• The mention of surrogate outcomes seemed to subtly advantage clinical outcome endpoints, maybe intentionally.
• I also thought it was good to note this is being rolled out synchronously with an initiative to collect robust data postmarket. That feels like a key element people will be watching closely as this plays out.
Overall, I found the argument thoughtful and more nuanced than I expected going in. And the more I sat with it, the less this read as a shift from two trials to one, and more like a push from zero robust trials toward one truly robust trial.
Politico reported exactly that, in fact.

“One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.”

This letter to @SecKennedy from these politicians is absurd.
It claims I have a "history of anti-vaccine ideology" - but with no support for this claim.
I'm not anti-vaccine. My positions are clear - & they're things we all agree on:
-Pregnant women deserve accurate counseling about vaccines.
-Vaccines carry risks & benefits.
-Pregnant women should be counseled properly & supported in their vaccine decisions.
These are uncontroversial, common-sense positions supported by the overwhelming majority of the public & I'm honored to be serving on ACIP.

4/ So sah die wenig wissenschaftliche Reaktion von @c_drosten aus auf die mehr als fragwürdigen Zahlen der britischen Covid-Inquiry (Screenshot links).
Aber gut - was blieb ihm denn anderes übrig? Schließlich hatte sich auch der dt. Virologe Drosten im März 2020 nur allzu leichtfertig auf die Ferguson-Zahlen vom Imperial College berufen.
Er hatte damit im NDR-Podcast Folge 16 vom 18.03.20 sogar seine Forderung nach „Abkürzungen bei der Impfstoff-Zulassung“ begründet.

The graduate premium is falling in the UK but rising in the US.
However even if the grad premium was rising everywhere, it still might have nothing to do what students learn at university. It could be the result of the "signal" sent by university attendance - a signal that could be replaced by something far cheaper and less time-consuming.
Even in America, where the grad premium is rising, there are plenty of people who would argue that it's still the result of a signal - not the result of the human capital gained from being at university.
There is a huge academic debate about this which is very hard to settle one way or the other, partly because we have such poor assessment data on universities.
I don't think the value of university is 100% signal. I think it's a mix of human capital & signals.
If we want to tilt it more towards human capital, we need better assessment data. We need to know which universities are the best at teaching certain skills (and which skills are most valuable in the job market).
Graduate earnings data cannot tell you this.
I just don't think it's good enough for the graduate premium to be the sole measure of university impact. You wouldn't measure a hospital by the later earnings of the people it treats! We shouldn't measure universities that way either!

1/ UK-Statistikbehörde beklagt „irreführende“ Verwendung der Modellrechnung von Neil Ferguson vom Imperial College im Abschlussbericht der Covid-Inquiry.
Brisant: Christian Drosten und dt. „Qualitätsmedien“ hatten diese mal wieder völlig unkritisch übernommen, da diese so wunderbar die Lockdown-Narrative bediente:
Wäre nämlich der Lockdown in England nur eine Woche früher durchgesetzt worden, so hätten angeblich 23000 Covid-Todesfälle verhindert werden können, so die Covid-Inquiry Ende 2025.

Trump:
„Der Präsident von Syrien, den ich im Grunde dort eingesetzt habe, macht einen großartigen Job. Syrien kommt schön zusammen, und bisher läuft es mit den Kurden sehr gut.“
Damit gibt er zu, einen IS- & Al-Qaida-Terroristen in Syrien installiert zu haben, der für Morde, Folter, Vergewaltigungen, Enteignungen und Unterdrückung von Millionen von Menschen mitverantwortlich ist. Wofür? Um ein ganzes Land und Kontrolle zu bekommen. Es ging nie um Demokratie, Menschenrechte oder Freiheit.
