"Those researchers say that the drug’s efficacy has not been established, that scientists don’t know how much of the drug to give or how people should take it, and that safety data in children are lacking."

🗨️ 👩🏽‍💻 Note: Part of my research on was to take a look at studies on the vaccine-derived types and the way of campaigning oral polio vaccines (OPV) in () and ()

The first case of cVDPV1 in Europe was registered in , so I focused on the correlation between zones and polio virus distribution. It's important, because older vaccine products can support the drive of mutation, if governments don't follow the safety protocol. 1/2

The claim is circulating that antidepressants can cause overheating and dehydration. This is a genuine public health message, but it's not so simple: diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, antipsychotics, and some antihistamines may also interact badly with hot weather.
nytimes.com/2024/06/15/well/li (excerpt in a reply)

There's even doubt about antidepressants having this effect. A recent paper in eClinicalMedicine looked at all the studies they could find and concluded that there wasn't evidence of antidepressants causing overheating in hot weather - though some other medicines do.

"Current evidence supports strong anticholinergics, non-selective beta-blockers, adrenaline, and anti-Parkinson’s agents impairing thermoregulation during heat stress ... physicians should interpret with caution conventional public health messaging related to the thermoregulatory effects of some drugs (e.g., antidepressants) during hot weather."

⚠️ AI & drug safety: FDA explores OpenAI’s cderGPT to accelerate reviews 🤖💊

High-level OpenAI staff have met with the FDA—and even Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency”—to discuss a pilot called cderGPT aimed at speeding up the Center for Drug Evaluation’s review process.

🧑‍⚕️ Led by FDA’s first AI officer Jeremy Walsh
📈 First AI-assisted scientific review already completed
🤝 Involves HHS AI liaison Peter Bowman-Davis
📋 No formal contract yet—still in exploratory talks
⚠️ Risks include overreliance on AI, hallucinations in key safety data

Balancing faster approvals with patient safety demands clear guardrails. How should regulators harness AI without cutting corners?
