Government word search is killing my cutting-edge research
The Trump administration seems to believe that some words and ideas fail an ill-posed and completely nonscientific test of orthodoxy.

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated.

Dear God, Jay Bhattacharya is just hopeless. He can't simply say getting polio is bad and is far worse than any side effects from the vaccine. He's is so far gone. It's tragic really. Too bad for all of us that he runs the National Institutes of Health.
We gave Jay Bhattacharya an opportunity to clarify his vaccine stance: does he REALLY believe that the vaccine is worse than the disease? Instead, he launched into a defense of MAHA as the future of scientific inquiry, and never really gave us a straight answer...
