Just the Facts with Gerald PosnerThe Arrogance of Mark ZuckerbergMeta has kept secret a disturbing flaw in its systems by which cybercriminals exploit Instagram accounts for illegal activities, including running up charges on stolen credit cards and selling nonexistent products. The criminals exploit a weakness in Meta security by creating and linking fraudulent Instagram accounts to randomly selected legitimate Facebook profiles. This enables the hackers to mostly bypass Meta’s commerce eligibility criteria, the supposed safeguard before verifying an account for sales activities. The hackers then abuse their new accounts until Meta detects the fraud and shuts them down. However, by that time, the legitimate Facebook pr...

Just the Facts with Gerald PosnerPseudonyms for SafetyEverybody gives lip service to free speech. Until it runs counter to what they believe. It is not easy nowadays to have a reasonable discussion about topics such as gender ideology or the effect of the T on LGB without some zealots making life miserable for those with whom they disagree. Debate often quickly devolves into a verbal food fight. No wonder so many of the smartest people I know stay away from these topics as if they are social third rails. That is especially true of my progressive friends. They have discovered that it is not...

Every time I’ve ever had to think about queer theory, it’s been in response to something ugly and downright crazy-making: like watching Democrats fight to eradicate competitive sports for women;or hearing anyone argue for rapists in women’s prisons;knowing doctors are performing “Frankenstein” experiments on healthy bodies because patients are asking for them, while teachers and counselors are spreading unbelievably d...

Just the Facts with Gerald PosnerA Brief End of Year Thanks from Just the FactsThank you to the 5000 loyal subscribers to Just the Facts. This Substack is somewhat unorthodox. It does not adhere to the typical model of focusing on a single subject. Some of you discovered my work from articles about OxyContin or Fentanyl, only to find the next piece discussing the dangers of puberty blockers for minors or the risks posed to free expression by increasing censorship. Just when you think you spot a theme, I am sure to deliver something unexpected; how Sweden became a gangland paradise, the latest news from those still-sealed JFK assassination files, or the...

Just the Facts with Gerald PosnerThe Assault on Freedom of SpeechNote: This is the first in an occasional series of short essays about the perils of what I call one think, a pernicious type of censorship in which voices and opinions that veer outside the guard rails of what is deemed “acceptable speech” are themselves banned, canceled, humiliated in the public square, and often branded as some form of bigotry.I made my first trip to London in 1981 to visit the family of my soon-to-be wife, author Patricia Posner.

High Truths on Drugs and AddictionEpisode #36 High Truths with Gerald Posner on PharmaWas I duped by Big Pharma? Early in my career I was told “You and your colleagues are undertreating pain.” When I served as Vice Chair of on the California Medical Association Council on Legislation, we passed laws that mandated pain education for doctors and eliminated specialized prescription pads for potent opioids. But then it became ridiculous. In 2013, I counted 20% of all my emergency patients were there to get opioids. I was one of the first physicians to resist this trend, and when I did, I was accused of lacking compassion. I realized that well intentioned physicians simply did not fa...

2021-06-181h 47The Michael Shermer Show123. Gerald Posner — Pharma: Greed, Lies, and the Poisoning of AmericaPharmaceutical breakthroughs such as antibiotics and vaccines rank among some of the greatest advancements in human history. Yet exorbitant prices for life-saving drugs, safety recalls affecting tens of millions of Americans, and soaring rates of addiction and overdose on prescription opioids have caused many to lose faith in drug companies. Now, Americans are demanding a national reckoning with a monolithic industry. Pharma introduces brilliant scientists, incorruptible government regulators, and brave whistleblowers facing off against company executives often blinded by greed. A business that profits from treating ills can create far deadlier problems than it cures. Addictive products are part...
