I highly recommend this 30-min convo between @kevinfolta.bsky.social & @joho.bsky.social

Dr Howard, Chief of Neurology at Bellevue, worked as a frontline clinician during the worst phase of COVID; he also documented COVID misinformation peddled by folks who now work for Trump running US healthcare

NEW: Important Context spoke with a dozen people working at NIH about Director Jay Bhattacharya.

The descriptions were universally unflattering, painting the health economist as ineffectual, dishonest, ideological, arrogant, and uncommitted to science.

“Out Of His Depth,” “Sold His Soul,” “Clueless”: NIH Staffers Speak Out About Director Bhattacharya

Widespread dissatisfaction over the NIH’s “continuous free fall” has people speaking out.

Correct.

And no one has done a better job of exposing that than @walkerbragman.bsky.social.

Correct. The messages of doubt and mistrust were overt and out in the open.

Oz and Makary in this photo. How sick that they support these lies. They will NEVER have any credibility EVER again.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

That's not how science works.

It is a good place to debate that. We formulate plausible hypotheses and then test them rigorously. That's the process. Data either support or do not support the hypothesis. RFKj has a conclusion he wants, so he'll design trials to produce data that fit the conclusion.

Thanks for this. I watched the first few minutes and I'm skeptical that JP and JPJ did this on purpose. I think they just did what sounded good and it happened to emulate Bach. Maybe I'm wrong. I'll watch the whole thing when I retire.

Is the donor Microsoft?

All of this is a pefect example of not playing to the audience. You use the most visually correct, effect presentation style, not what some dork in branding wants.

Go find a famers market or local farmer that sells Freedom Rangers. We raise them, much better than store chicken or other Cornish Cross chickens. Looks great, but try another meat chicken just to see the difference.
