One of the doctors Children’s Health Defense has cited to blame child measles deaths on medical malpractice and hospital error recently escaped professional liability for the death of his patient. Ironically, Dr. Pierre Kory’s defense rested on a law anti-vaxxers, including CHD, have railed against

I also said this in my latest YouTube video. I would fire at least ~10000 people (1/4) in the CDC and everyone who touched this decision or didn't stop it. Anyone working from home should go, as well.

Yeah, this was an awful time. I had to get police involved three times for threats I received while promoting COVID19 vaccines in 2021. The worst was after I was quoted in the WSJ. Can’t even recall what I said, but it launched a bunch of protonmail missives from feral anti-public health nutters.

This image from 2020 puts current events in clear focus. At the time, if this is right, we faced a dire situation because 6 companies controlled 90% of conventional media. Today three of these companies are about to become one under a conservative billionaire. Ah for the world before Trump 2.0

One of the things I learned in writing this piece is that in 1873, a former confederate official asked SCOTUS to weaponize the 14th Amendment against biracial government. The court refused at the time. But in 2026, that's exactly what the Supreme Court did.

Short thread: 18 months ago, as part of their assault on higher ed, Trump/DOGE/Vought terminated my friend Kelton Minor's NIH Director's award that would have allowed him to take a faculty position there. Without the funds, Columbia ultimately rescinded the position. Kelton moved to Denmark.

Lab leak folks argue the FCS in SARS-CoV-2 is a "smoking gun" that "proves" the virus was made in a lab; they say the FCS isn't seen in nature But it *is* seen in nature & *has* been found in coronaviruses The FCS in BRZ batCoV only differs by a single amino acid compared to the one in SARS-CoV-2!
