-1. Evaluating Effect of Spin in Health Care News. Health care news stories represent an important source of information for patients. However, some evidence suggests that many news stories do not adequately explain research results and could mislead readers with spin, defined as “the presentation of information in a particular way, a slant, especially a favorable one”. The danger of spin is that it can, for example, convince patients that treatments are more promising than they actually are or minimize their risks. Misinterpretation of the content of news stories due to spin could have important public health consequences as news articles can affect patient and public behavior. Hmmm, if PDWN was into clickbait sales or concerned about “hits”, maybe it should do more spin rather than provide different interpretations and make more effort to obscure when its comments are slanted.

-2. They Thought This HIV Strategy Couldn't Work. But It Did. <ADDED 190519-190210-1.1>4. In high income the standard of care for people infected with HIV is "treatment as prevention", or "test and treat". It has been shown to prevent the spread of HIV in sexual encounters. In low income countries, "test and treat" is not the typical approach, but 10 years ago the test and treat was started in South Africa and Zambia. People said communities will never test, and never start treatment early and if you do they'll never stay on the treatment. That attitude sprang partly from past struggles to get people to follow a regimen of daily drugs, in both developed and developing countries, and from local mistrust when foreigners arrive in low income countries to carry out a health mission -180513-1.1-A↓. Turns out the practice could play a crucial role in controlling the AIDS epidemic with a reduction of HIV incidence by 30%. One aspect that is not addressed here is this approach lacks the shaming, blaming and punishments that some seem to want the HIV infected to experience. ¶ No, Those Posts about Infected Needles Being Hidden in Gas Pump Handles Are Part of an Old Hoax. Uncertain but this may be a narrative invoking the elements of: random disease and death; moral panic about drug users and homosexuals who are both infected with HIV -2.2↓; self inflicted terrorism/ moral panic of making the mundane dangerous; and possibly that pumping gas may include the idea of air pollution increasing the possibility of dying, -1.1↑, 190630-Vaccine-1.1. 190630-Polemic-3.3. ¶ HIV Epidemics in Pakistan, 190623-Polemic-3.3.
-2.1. North Korea Claimed to Be Free of HIV. But Infections Appear to Be Surging$. In December 2018, at an event in Pyongyang marking World AIDS Day, government officials and WHO staff celebrated an improbable feat: a corner of our planet was still untouched by HIV. North Korea had zero reported cases of HIV infection. That astounding success was chalked up to prevention and widespread HIV testing. In fact, North Korean health officials were quietly tracking a mushrooming AIDS threat. North Korea actually had 8362 HIV positive individuals in 2018. The first confirmed infection of a North Korean citizen came in January 1999, and infections have surged in the past few years.

-4.2. From PDWN’s perspective Florida Newsrooms Band Together to Cover the Effects of Climate Change, It’s Just Become Daily News: Six Florida Newsrooms Are Teaming up to Cover Climate Change, could be beneficial in terms of its data source. Though PDWN stubs frequently touch on policy related to environmental change (largely ignoring it and making it worse, or blaming), and there are human interest stories about climate disasters (extreme weather events), there is precious little reported by media on human factors and the interaction of bio and anthropospheres. One area of specific interest is how environmental change impacts on the business of news reporting, much of which has been slanted toward political spin, but rarely slanted toward global health and environment that people need in order to survive, how people are adapting (or not), what is likely to happen if there is a cascading biosphere collapse.

-5. Brady+occult, slow and hidden are characteristic of biocalamities until the cross the liminal threshold and accelerate. Even when accelerating it takes time for the remoteness to be overcome by increased frequency and severity before people will take action, i.e. parademic. Unfortunately this delay can be until the tipping point begins the deceleration. California Was Warned about Climate Change 30 Years Ago, Why Haven't We Fixed It. -6.2↓. If Earth Continues to Warm at Current Rate Moon Will Be Mostly Underwater by 2400. Eventually though they are no longer bradyoccult, but accelerate past the liminal threshold -6.2↓ to have impact on the macro sphere.
-6. I Was Lured Into Monsanto’s GMO Crusade. Here’s What I Learned. Public debates about science and technology are rarely ever just about the science and technology. As a millennial, progressive, science minded mom of two, I had grown sick of fearmongers who were using bad science, poorly interpreted science, or – worst of all – no science at all to render parents’ love for their children into an anxiety about genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. I’d found solace in the skeptics movement, whose members stress empiricism and the scientific method, and I began blogging to counter the fear and myths that were so pervasive in the parenting world. So began my strange dance with Crowe and Monsanto – a dance that saw me go from vocal supporter of GMO to unabashed critic. | If you’re pro science, you must be pro GMO. If you’re anti Monsanto, then you’re anti GMO. Therefore, if you’re anti Monsanto, you’re anti science, -6.1↓. | Everything I’d written and said in support of GMOs was factually correct, but my approach had been all wrong. It’s impossible to have a constructive conversation about GMOs without acknowledging that underlying the unscientific claims made by many GMO opponents is a legitimate desire for trustworthy behavior from the companies that dominate the agricultural marketplace. People's Motivations Bias How They Gather Information. Given More Information about How Wine Is Made, Consumers less Likely to Pay for Organic. Why Science Can Be So Indecisive about Nutrition.
-6.1. Whose Global, Which Health. Unsettling Collaboration with Careful Equivocation. The recent push for multidisciplinary collaboration confronts anthropologists with a long standing ethnographic problem. The terms we have to talk about what we do are very often the same as the terms used by those with whom we work, and yet we are often doing very different things with these terms, the awkward collaboration of equivocation play out in medical - social science research. Humor based on equivocation, ludicrous juxtaposition, puns, are a device used in PDWN frequently to help people become aware of miscommunication, disinformation and logical fallacies, all of which are frequent occurrences in parademic which are associated with uncertain conditions. One trick to test if there is doublespeak is to apply substitute words that have the same definition as the suspected word. If the sentence no longer makes sense it is likely there is a meaning one is not aware of, applying the wrong definition, or the wrong context. These are often associated with prevarication syllogisms -6↑, “Feathers are light. What is light cannot be dark. Therefore, feathers are not dark”. PDWN tends to use multiple words (sometime a long list of them) and articles, when there is a strong possibility of ambiguity of the intended meaning. This makes for terrible writing – but then the stub notes for a database are stubs, not literature – but increases the chance that what was intended is what is understood, or more likely a reader dismisses parademic. 190630-Vaccine-3.1.
-6.2. Liminality in Practice: A Case Study in Life Sciences Research. Contemporary health challenges (e.g., diabetes, climate change, antimicrobial resistance) are underpinned by complex interrelationships between behavioural, cultural, social, environmental and biological processes. Current experimental systems are only partially relevant to the problems they investigate, but aspirations to embed interdisciplinary working and community engagement into life scientists’ work in response to this partiality have proven difficult in practice. This liminality -4.3↑ problem is encountered in parademic. Because of the bradyoccult -5↑ of biocalamities they are long periods of transition, neither a healthy condition or an unhealthy one. This makes it difficult to describe.

-190623-4>1. It may be the human evolution circumvents natural evolution by getting around restrictions of finding optimal biological solutions by selection of the most efficient use of energy. This is found by finding other sources of energy that helps humans biologically, but not necessarily efficient in terms of the biosphere. Evolutionary Dynamics from a Variational Principle 2009, #Book Optimality Principles in Biology 1967. Nature has a way of finding optimal solutions to complex problems. For example, despite the billions of ways for a single protein to fold, proteins always fold in a way that minimizes potential energy. This kind of optimization is explained by what's known as a variational principle: any other deformation – or variation – of the shape found by the protein would require more energy.
-190616-6>2. <ADDED 190623>2. One of the characteristics of humans is that they have a large material culture. It is always easy to find where they have been, where they are, where they are going by in trash, infrastructure, tools, buildings.
-P. Because manmade material is closely associated with anthromes it is easy to miss that this is also a human behavior, one that it influenced by biocalamity. Irrigation and water diversion, power sources that reduce pollution, transportation networks, fire, pests that tend to be with humans, biosuits, medical equipment, cleaning supplies, sewage systems, molds and bacteria, et cetera, are all forms of material culture that are in response to health and environment, and can harm health and environment. One of the largest and mundane that may not be noticed as a behavior is recording and communication devices, such as PDWN.

Last time Madras (former name of Chennai) had conditions like this was the Great Famine of 1876-1878*. Suspect that mosquito vector diseases will decrease – but watch out when there is rain which will produce standing water for mosquito larva, and increase contaminants in the water supply when what settled out of the supply in reintroduced – but disease from contaminated food, lack of sanitation, and pest borne diseases may increase as they search for food and water.

-A. Ebola Is Fake: How Do You Fight a Disease People Don’t Believe In. “The Ebola virus doesn't exist; it's a virus that was made to eliminate the Congolese”. “Ebola came as a gateway for several organizations that come to loot our minerals”. “To increase or expand the list of deaths at Ebola Treatment Centres, innocent people are accused of being sick”. These are just some of the thousands of rumours about the Ebola virus that the Red Cross teams heard in DRC. The country is now experiencing its worst outbreak in recent history, and the second deadliest outbreak globally in modern history. Since the outbreak started in August 2018, the Red Cross volunteers going door to door gathered more than 33,000 rumours, observations and beliefs related to Ebola. The most common is that Ebola is a tool being used to exploit communities for influence or money, but we we’ve also heard a rumour that patients at the centres were given a pill to make them die. These are preexisting variations of HIV rumors -2↑ that were recycled in 2014 for Ebola, Conspiracy Beliefs about the Origin of HIV/AIDS in Four Racial/Ethnic Groups 2006. These in turn stem from rumors of medical experiments on African’s during the colonial period, unfortunately some stem from a factual basis, The Legacy of Colonial Medicine in Central Africa, Experimentation in Colonial East Africa and Beyond 2014, Popular Concerns about Medical Research Projects in Sub Saharan Africa – a Critical Voice in Debates about Medical Research Ethics 2006.
