Live Free and Prosper

Socialists claim they haven’t experienced American prosperity. All you have to do is look around

By Andy Kessler. Excerpts:

"Last month’s trial results of Lilly’s one-time gene-editing therapy showed it can lower LDL, “bad cholesterol,” by almost two-thirds. Could this be a heart-attack vaccine? It’s certainly a sign of a prosperous society." 

"Columbia University researchers successfully demonstrated base editing of “early human embryos” to replace specific genetic letters."

"the ability to identify and eliminate debilitating diseases—for example, hereditary blindness—is nothing short of amazing."

"GLP-1s may also help stroke, kidney and fatty liver diseases as well as sleep apnea, and research is under way to treat substance abuse, psychiatric and even neurodegenerative disorders."

"women 45 to 80 “who took GLP-1 medications were about 30 percent less likely to develop breast cancer"

"Palantir tapped AI to lower early death rates from sepsis at Tampa General Hospital by more than two-thirds."
