it's possible that I'm misunderstanding here but I think the sepsis diagnosis is from a retrospective review of her file. at the time there was no sepsis diagnosis. they even specifically call out that doctor for having been under review for missing diagnoses in the past

After two hours of IV fluids, one dose of antibiotics, and some Tylenol, Crain’s fever didn’t go down, her pulse remained high, and the fetal heart rate was abnormally fast, medical records show. Hawkins noted that Crain had strep and a urinary tract infection, wrote up a prescription and discharged her.

Hawkins had missed infections before. Eight years earlier, the Texas Medical Board found that he had failed to diagnose appendicitis in one patient and syphilis in another. In the latter case, the board noted that his error “may have contributed to the fetal demise of one of her twins.” The board issued an order to have Hawkins’ medical practice monitored; the order was lifted two years later. (Hawkins did not respond to several attempts to reach him.)

the people we should be concerned about getting their hands on this data are not like, goateed hackers. they're banks, insurance companies, recruiters. those are some pretty powerful lobbies

it's idiotic of CNN to report this as like a scientific disagreement. this is a disagreement among scientists about what is politically feasible. so now status quo politicians get to use this as an arrow in their quiver to dispute the necessity of even aiming for a 1.5 degree target, as if the targets are beholden to the models, and not the other way around
