“For the COVID contrarians, an anti-lockdown, pro-infection lobby from the start, the national loss of more than 1.2 million people, a population equivalent to Dallas or San Diego, fails to move or generate concern.” www.liberalcurrents.com/the-covid-pr...
The COVID pro-infection lobby and its relentless campaign against public health in Jonathan Howard’s “Everyone Else is Lying to You”
The same pro-infection lobby that battled each COVID mitigation measure now seeks to blame health agencies and vaccines, not the virus, for the nation’s devastating rates of excess death.

NIH is losing so may good people. First they were fired or RIFd or pressured to retire early.
Now they are leaving because “no longer lend our credibility to an organization that has lost its integrity.”
Proud to know these brave scientists!

The NIH has lost its scientific integrity. So we left
“We can no longer lend our credibility to an organization that has lost its integrity,” write four scientists and administrators who recently resigned from the NIH.

After the proposed budget cuts to science, the recently released Congressional appropriations bills mean that "Congress is really starting to push back" according to @alesszimm.bsky.social. I'm not sure I agree that "science is doing OK," but it's certainly a big step in the right direction.

RFK Jr. says it may be "better" if fewer children receive the flu vaccine
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed there is "no scientific evidence" the flu vaccine prevents hospitalizations or death in children, despite previous CDC guidance.

Overall, the reviews of my book Misguided have been pretty positive, which has been rewarding! One criticism I saw was that I cited too many studies, which is probably fair. I was writing a book about why we believe misinformation and wanted to be thorough, so I included a lot of research.

One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun
THERE IS VIDEO
I really do not want to recommend to everyone a video of a person being shot but there is video from multiple angles
why not cut the crap and just publish "this paper supports random state murder, it makes us feel good, kill kill kill"? same exact meaning, less embarrassing
