I like listening to and reading Prasad because of his quiet but well-articulated style of saying what he wants to say. This piece about a speaker from the AMA being shouted down by medical students is a good example of his ability to discuss something objectively and rationally since he points out from the outset that he's no fan of the AMA. His points are laid out in the article and he closes with this:

Finally, medical school leadership lacks the courage to invite courageous speakers and foster debate. There were zero debates on school closure, lockdown, or masking toddlers at the University of Chicago. The Deans of U Chicago didn’t have the courage to show students that we can debate hard topics insider medicine. If the university won’t debate the most impactful policy decisions of the twentieth century because they are scared some students will protest, they just lean in to the culture of protest.

My career has had a lot of advocacy. I think cancer drugs cost too much. I think drug approval is too lax. I think masking 2 year olds is mentally ill and harmful policy. I have published hundreds of papers and op-eds arguing for these things. I support advocacy, but I have never shouted at a speaker I didn’t agree with. I just spent a lot of time thinking about how to outsmart them. And when I was a medical student, I spent most of my time trying to learn medicine; I worry students have forgotten this.
