Two babies died. An 18-year-old with measles died from a rare complication that caused inflammation in the brain. At least six infants have been born infected with measles. There’s no way to predict which kids will get hit hardest.

The virus is proving it can attack multiple organs, including the gut, liver, lungs and brain, even in children who were previously healthy.

The NIH proposal to conceal reviewer scores from program officers, investigators, and advisory councils is ill-conceived, introduces disproportionate weight to small percentile differences, diminishes the role of scientific peer review, and should be withdrawn in its entirety. a 🧵

Steve Miller Band releases “The Joker” today in 1973 — written after a long day in the studio, he said, when “I went outside with my acoustic guitar to sit on the hood of my funky old GTO and think about my lyrics for the next day. .. I had no idea it would be our next single. I didn’t have a clue.”

Further, my suspicion is that the proposed change to peer review is to create an environment that allows for recent political appointees at the NIH within each intramural center or HHS to select proposals for funding from Principal Investigators based on political considerations, not scientific merit. If true, this is the behavior of fascist leaders. For anyone reviewing these comments, I would encourage them to review the successful history of the NIH and US biomedical research at large. The current peer review system is not perfect, but it has produced amazing discoveries and transformed the health of US citizens through new cures and treatments. If not motivated by nefarious political intent, then the proposed changes are foolish and shortsighted. I look forward to future inquiries from Congressional oversight committees investigating the true motivations behind this RFI.
