Happy International Women's Day! A reminder that this specific screwup has now killed ~25 million people. A world that allows an influential, entitled, ignorant man to just shout down a smarter and more knowledgeable woman 👉can literally kill you.👈 www.wired.com/story/the-te...

...but it was entirely preventable and unnecessary. It wasn't a "reasonable error in a high pressure situation". It wasn't "understandable". This isn't a case where "hindsight is 20/20". This was an unambiguously wrong choice, where authority shouted down wisdom. bsky.app/profile/mark...

And, in one of those horrible twists of irony, the burden of #longCOVID resulting from that massive, unforced medical error also falls disproportionately on women. What will it take to get some accountability? Are those responsible just above the law? www.lapresse.ca/actualites/c...

Here's a deeper dive into *why* medical policy and guidance processes are so prone to this failure mode. It's easy to say "bad people", but bad people are an expected challenge! Systems need to be resilient to them. To fix medical decision-making we need to understand why it's so easily manipulated.
