Introduce him by playing this video from 6 years ago.

yup

Omfg. Jay Bhattacharya and Emily Oster. Two of the absolute worst on Covid. So glad I missed that “full day of discussions.” @joho.bsky.social

Doing this is a specific choice that appears to be calculated to garner favor with anti-vaxxers, including those in power. If you care about accuracy, don't quote misinformers. It's actually pretty easy!

Fixing the NIH by destroying every layer of accountability, crushing the dreams of budding scientists around the nation, and purposefully sowing lies and causing confusion! MIND YOU, Podcast Jay wouldn’t tell me that the polio vaccine was better than the disease. @health.nationalacademies.org wtf

Really sad to see @health.nationalacademies.org whitewashing Jay Bhattacharya with the help of Emily Oster, who loves to pontificate on subjects she knows little about. What a clusterfuck.

I sometimes have to remind myself that not even tea drinking women who raise their eyebrows always click when they are caping for Vichy collaborators. Do your own research

“Hundreds of hours of uncompensated labor…hate from many quarters, hostile press, internal bickering, weaponized leaking, sabotage…” Robert Malone says this is why he quit ACIP in a snit. The truth is that it’s much harder to actually do public health than to take potshots on social media.

Another great take from Liz Ginexi on why NIH’s move to choke off NOFOs is bad for science. open.substack.com/pub/elizabet...

@joho.bsky.social Oh my god LMFAO bsky.app/profile/marg...

He’s preparing us for “it would have been so much worse had I not been there.”

Why are you including COVID-19 contrarians who have spread misinformation and have collaborated with a pretty dishonest dismantling of research funding and public health agencies in a workshop about scientific integrity?

Scientists are fighting for the future of biomedical research in America right now. So please don’t tell me how sitting down with the architects of the destruction of a decades-old legacy of research in the United States is a good idea.

Another day, ANOTHER study shwoing clear benefits for the baby when mom gets vaccinated against COVID during pregnancy I'll never forgive Bhattacharya, Makary, & RFK Jr for posting that horrific video that recommended AGAINST vaccination in pregnancy; it was dreadful disinformation

Wait, not sarcasm?

🤮

Why? What’s the point in platforming covid disinformation agents and MAHA sycophants? These people have nothing to teach us about “scientific integrity” except as cautionary tales of unbridled hubris and arrogance.

Lol

"They never face any consequences for their bad decisions!" Exactly. That's what @hiltzikm.bsky.social noted in his review of WWTI.

Our current medical establishment opposes this.

i do think it’s worth recognizing how utterly full of shit all these pandemic policy critics were

But you don't understand. If *they* do it, it's not political. If *we* do it, it is. Simple, right?

Yep.

No.

MAHA rose to power claiming they would have handled Covid perfectly. When given authority they deliver chaos and drama. Pure incompetence.

This has been a longstanding MAGA/MAHA talking point—the myth of kids & young adults “dying suddenly” from COVID vaccines RFK Jr, who runs the health system, lies when he says COVID vaccines are “the deadliest vaccines ever” Sadly, we have kooks & conspiracy theorists running HHS/CDC/FDA/NIH/CMS 😢

Well this is rich because he told us #BethesdaDeclaration signers that the rally at #NIH was "political."

"Take those research dollars. Put them to research that improves the health and longevity of the American people. Remove politics out of it." Jay Bhattacharya

@joho.bsky.social The legacy of Vinay Prasad!

hahahahaha

“How the Battle for Affordable Care Became a Culture War” My review @psychologytoday.com of Blumenthal and Morone’s important & highly readable Whiplash: From the Battle for Obamacare to the War on Science, published today by @yalepress.bsky.social www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/side...

RFK Jr: "The advantage of glyphosate is unlike the other poisons, it doesn't harm organic tissue, but it goes after plants, not animal tissue. Your stomach microbiome is plants. And so, you know, there's, you know, it may contribute to the celiac disease and all these gluten allergies."

Excellent post of a petulant toddler who’s main priority is to let strangers know he’s a “brave independent thinker.”

Mandrola and Prasad

Shocked to discover Mark Hyman helped create the inverted food pyramid.

hey look its the same "journalist" who authored the attempted hit piece on Mamdani's college application.

new personal scandal just dropped and it’s just the fact that I Have A Birthday

If this happens, and especially if he promotes vaccines is office, it will break MAHA.

This is 1000x more insulting than anything I’ve ever said about Vinay Prasad.

The most impt change at #NIH and to US science this year is bigger than grant cancellations— it’s how the agency is governed. For 75 years NIH has been largely independent of presidential control. That’s changed this year. New piece from me and @nataliebaviles.bsky.social in @nature.com 🧪

Discussed here

And it’s well-known now too that research on-campus at NIH is being slowly choked to death. Scientists are leaving and not being replaced, lecture visits blocked, people are spending more and more time not on science but on fruitless paperwork seemingly created to stop progress.

🤞

This is a trope latched onto by right wingers and spouted only by those whose antipathy to the vaccine at this point is innate and immune to facts.

The vaccines were oversold by our current medical establishment.
