"SICK LIES" New York Post goes after Fauci for his lies about dangerous virus research at the Wuhan institute of Virology. It's only going to get worse for these liars. (friend sent me this photo from a NY bodega.)

I'd forgotten Bill Kristol's pithy quote: "if things are so bad as you say with the white working class, don’t you want to get new Americans in? " Kind of sums it up.

This executive order finally slams the door on engineered pandemics. If your “research” can create the next global catastrophe, it’s not science. It’s sabotage. And it ends now. MAHA

It was a bizarre news story -- seven academic journals published absurd hoax papers. Six Editors wouldn't talk with me -- but one, Roberto Refinetti of the journal Sexuality and Culture, agreed to give his side of things. We debate:

The erosion of trust for the scientific establishment stems from the fact that the scientific establishment caused a pandemic that killed 20 million and cost $25 trillion and from the fact that the scientific establishment lied, and continues to lie, about causing the pandemic.
Science didn’t lose trust because scientists hid the truth. It lost trust because loud voices turned every disagreement into a conspiracy. The fix isn’t attacking researchers - it’s evidence, transparency, and ending the industrial production of fear and doubt.

I've been told Cass Sunstein is one of the most cited legal scholars in America because academics point to him for getting things wrong. Another example, it appears.
A pretty damning overview of the nudging literature just dropped. "This study provides the most comprehensive synthesis of the effectiveness of nudging to date." "We find a small aggregated effect size." "[Our results show] the urgent need for higher quality, preregistered

2) One of the dumbest thing Jay Bhattacharya did was bringing all these broken toys inside the NIH as contractors when none of them had any DC government experience. No understanding of how to fix problems except run to the Daily Caller. @Pricklyresearch is one example.

1) Imagine what an ideological reactionary JOE DUARTE must be that his brain can't comprehend that courts have tied up hundreds of grants so they can't be defunded. Imagine what a crazed lunatic he is. And Daily Caller publishes him for clicks. https://t.co/pBUsxYII0x
I worked as a senior advisor to the NIH Director, Jay Bhattacharya. My mission was to build a framework to eliminate ideological bias in NIH-funded research like this: A team of leftist academics conducted an entire study around this tweet from the President. The idea was that

Egregiously corrupt but if you try to say anything, you are automatically labeled as "antivax" or "anti-science." Why the liberal left has become the greatest defender of the industry that is possibly the most corrupt in the world is beyond me. H/t @thackerpd

@jmnorton Are you actually working in a scientific role at NIH? @thackerpd says you're not doing research, and HHS allegedly says you were agitating at the expense of doing your job when you were put on leave:
1) HHS has placed program officer Jenna Norton on leave for giving media interviews about NIH policies. She will say she has "scientific freedom" but she's not doing research, she's a program officer. Last September, she tweeted this essay on Bluesky advocating "break the law."

NEW: Our report last night on Kathy Ruemmler, Obama's former White House counsel and the chief legal officer at Goldman Sachs who Jeffrey Epstein once called "my great defender." Across more than 100 emails and 50+ meetings since 2014 she emerged as confidant for Epstein -

Alex Berezow, who works with the American Council on Science and Health, filed a baseless lawsuit in Spain and appealed twice, likely to silence science journalist Paul Thacker who lost money to lawyers on this. https://t.co/m8WH7jtseX. What should we do with such people?

.@caitlinnowens makes more than a few wild claims in today's essay about vaccines. She quotes Peter Hotez, so you already know what you're getting: a pharma ad. Sponsored by Humana, but that's expected, no?

Paid for by Big Pharma to report for Big Pharma, STAT News is once again worked up about @TracyBethHoeg. "Bias and instability" is code for "she's not biased" in favor of the pharmaceutical industry.

One of the worst and most unacceptable things to do in American discourse is to humanize Israel's war victims and especially the young Palestinian amputees and disabled kids from Israel's US-funded savagery:
