Several people have asked for possible content and structure for comments regarding the proposed OMB regulations. With some suggestions from others, I have posted on example (as a Word document) for downloading). jeremymberg.github.io/jeremyberg.g... I hope this is helpful.

The mRNA vaccines were miraculous. It lost public trust because there was a calculated campaign to undermine it. Jay Bhattacharya, RFK & Vinay Prasad were all accomplices in destroying trust in vaccines & science in general. More people will die as a result. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | Jay Bhattacharya: Why the NIH is pivoting away from mRNA vaccines
As a vaccine for broad public use, mRNA technology has failed to earn the public’s trust.

To everyone still reviewing papers right now: thank you. It's a lot to give up your time, for free, amidst everything. The scientific process remains as important as ever, and yet it's extra tough to serve in this capacity when our mental bandwidth is so limited.

There's a circulating rumor that no studies have ever compared vaccinated to unvaccinated children when investigating autism risk. That's simply false. Here are just a few of the many high-quality studies that have made this comparison—and found no link ⬇️
