It is maddening how little doctors know about a condition that affects ~40% of the population.
Most women have uterine fibroids. Doctors have no idea why.
These solid lumps of muscle, some the size of a watermelon, can dramatically affect a woman’s quality of life and fertility. But lasting treatments are scarce.

Israel says it will suspend several humanitarian groups, including Doctors Without Borders, in 2026 for failing its new vetting rules for groups working in Gaza. Some international organizations have said that Israel’s rules are arbitrary and could endanger staff.

The Atlantic has updated their article to correct some of Frum's mistakes. However they didn't correct his denialist stuff. I work 50 meters from a lab where they recently identified a body recovered from a GPR search. A child who died at residential school, and was finally returned to their family.

The fact of the matter is that even if we removed all dehumanizing immigration restrictions, the vast majority of people would stay where they are because barring overwhelming danger most people don't like uprooting themselves to move to a strange place where they don't know anybody
Despite all the noise about “mass exodus”, 51% of African emigrants move within Africa. Only 3% of the African population lives outside their home country, compared to 8.5% of Europeans living outside theirs.
