Bhattacharya has done far more to undermine health disparities research than to contribute to it. He claims patient reported outcomes have no merit ONLY when used in this field. He champions “solutions oriented” research while undermining & unlawfully terminating work addressing the structural…

About last week’s NIH & OMB meeting… Okkn what basis can the NYT claim that Bhattacharya has been trying to preserve work on health disparities?? I have NEVER heard him speak up in favor of studying the social and economic determinants of health at NIH. Not once. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/20/s...
One of Mr. Trump's executive orders, issued on his first day back in office, ended all administration programs involving "diversity, equity and
inclusion." It has had far-reaching effects on N.I.H. studies, including those investigating "health disparities" — why populations defined by factors like race or socioeconomic status may be prone to certain diseases or to suffer worse outcomes.
As a Stanford University economist, Dr.
Bhattacharya conducted research on health disparities and has been trying to find a way to preserve N.I.H. funding for such work. In 2011, for instance, he and colleagues reported on "persistent racial disparities in survival after heart transplantation."

Here’s why that matters. This was the literal peak of the Covid’s deadliest wave. It was the “end times” for 3,000 Americans per day. And yet, the laptop class Twitter talkers joked about that & worried about an excess of “doom and gloom.” No one on a Covid unit spoke that way.

"For the first time, the American state has obtained a criminal conviction against a scientist for defending the truth about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic." A scientific paper the regime did not like is now prosecutable bunder Trump´s weaponized Department of Justice. Dark times. Injustice.
The prosecution of Morens is the reactionary outcome of years of an anti-science campaign spearheaded by the Trump administration and fascist Republicans, such as Senator Rand Paul, sustained with Democratic votes at every stage, and whose object is to beat the scientific community into silence.

The charges are a complete fraud. The “crime” supposedly committed by Morens was to route emails through a personal account. That is the whole of it. But the Justice Department’s announcement states that this was somehow part of a conspiracy to “counter the narrative that COVID-19 leaked from a lab.” The official act named in the accompanying bribery count is a scientific paper, a commentary Morens wrote arguing that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, had natural origins. The government has written a scientific conclusion into a criminal indictment and called it corruption.

This piece by @benjaminmateus.bsky.social gives you the context that you will never find in mainstream media. Science is about establishing facts. Only with facts can there be accountability against those in power. They are taking away vaccines, public health. When mass deaths follow...
The scientists now being hunted are those who worked to tell people the truth about a disease that was killing them. In defending the scientific record, they defended the lives of workers, who were driven into unsafe factories, warehouses, schools and hospitals and told there was nothing to fear. Their defense is now a question for the working class. Workers must take up the fight against this witch-hunt as their own, because the persecution of scientists clears the way for the next mass killing.
