Nippon Shinyaku Co., Ltd. has received rare pediatric disease designation for NS-050/NCNP-03, being developed for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne). The FDA's rare pediatric disease designation is for treatments of serious or life-threatening diseases in children where there are fewer than 200,000 patients in the United States.

The Biden administration is in its waning days, but he is not letting up on his breathtaking levels of social authoritarianism. It's not bad enough that the average age of the young people who put men on the moon and World War II are no longer adult enough to be off mommy's health insurance, he has now declared that if they buy pipe tobacco they are at risk for cancer. Or becoming a hobbit.

So if you are under age 30, get ready to show ID. It is federal law and one more thing store clerks have to obey government about.

Tom Girardi is one of the lawyers who shot to prominence after they got California utility PG&E to issue a shocking settlement in a case where it was alleged that hexavalent chromium was causing diseases in Hinckley, California.

Where were the bodies? They didn't exist, according to science, and history has shown it to be a hoax. There are no more cases of cancer, disease, or anything else. Like President Biden claiming a "cancer alley" in, unsurprisingly, a state that votes Republican, it just exploited the average to get a jury to side against a company.

American automobile companies have been dealing with government regulations for a hundred years so they know to go with the high-publicity political flow and then quietly fix the issues later.(1) During the housing bubble of 2008, Ford went to Congress and agreed car companies absolutely needed a bailout.

Then they didn't take it while competitors did, and were suddenly stuck with caving in to government-enabled union demands to have janitors make $50 an hour while Ford stock took off. They didn't have bureaucrats wanting to sign off on every decision the way General Motors did.

There is now enough of data related to Germany lurching to the anti-science left this decade, both in food and energy, that is is easy to see why other companies should stop making the same mistake.

Solar and wind not only don't work, they can't work as long as old technology is subsidized. It prevents better technology from being developed because that is not where the easy government money is.

Mexican farmers want to use more science in agriculture for two reasons. First, they don't trust the government officials they know are colluding with activists opposing science. Their country has vast oil reserves during record high prices and the industry is controlled by the government and still loses money.

Mexican farmers know how to grow food, the last thing they want are urban activists and bureaucrats doing to food what they do to energy.

The second is that they know science is why America can export to Mexico and China cheaper than countries with low labor costs can grow it.

Environmentalists prey on the poor, which ironically harms the poor the most because they are most impacted by high-cost foods like the kind made using the organic process of companies that fund environmentalists to undermine competitors.

Mexico has many problems, and they are nearly all caused because people with money control too much of government. It's a country deep in oil, with a government monopoly on oil, that still somehow manages to lose money on oil during record oil prices. 

Epidemiologist Dr. Phil Landrigan claims conventional modern pesticides cause autism,birth defects, low IQ, ADHD and lots of other things, though pesticides sold by the companies who endorse him are basically health food.

Nicolas A. Van Larebeke, MD, cancer expert at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, was not convinced by offhand claims that organic food must be healthier(1) than food growing using modern tools and sought to find out if such claims were true. Instead of organic food being healthier, his team found that it had more chemical inputs, and those inputs resulted in higher concentrations of lead, arsenic, and organochlorine compounds linked to cancer in young people. The 600 Flemish adolescents in the data who consumed organic food more than 7.5 times a week had concentrations in their blood of toxins from 20% to 40% higher.
