I have been a follower of John Dvorak's articles on PC Magazine for a long time. His column comes out like clockwork, but his Opinions page was not updated for weeks. A little searching found an article on Medium from John himself. He says that he was released for his article that was critical of the forthcoming 5G system, and the magazine went so far as to replace his article with a pro-industry article. You can read John's story here.

A sad sign of the times where advertising rules everything.

    Leeches are actually pretty safe. And maggots are often better at safely debriding than any other current approach. But there's little profit in them, and people find them disgusting.

    Just because a treatment fell out of fashion, don't assume that it was ineffective or dangerous. *Sometimes* that was the reason.
