The intersection of science and public health is a difficult one to navigate, it involves a lot of cross traffic. I don't like the concept of settled science, but good public health policy is useless if no one participates, so communication is involved. Some sales pitches are better than others, I guess. I've never worked in sales.

You were the tip of the internet spear gobbling up all of the propaganda and castigating pwople who called BS on so many of the things that have since been determined to be...actual BS.
Some pwople just like to be lied to.
I won't let people forget how much of a bunch of jerks the liberal mob was in 2020.
I dont want to win anything against you, Rath. Some days you are an old wise man retired to the woods, other days you are not. I mostly have enjoyed reading your stuff.

Glacier reported his direct experiences of intubating covid patients in the hospital. He did so in a completely non-partisan manner. Embarrassingly, you are still trying to bait him into a angry, politicized response...and yet he continues to treat you with grace and dignity through each interaction.
It's hard to overstate how pathetic you look here.

More gaslighting. You were a partisan hack who talked down to "the uneducated"...and you were wrong on almost every-fuqin-thing. UC STEM should be better.
You are clearly a smart guy. Use the smarts God gave you rather than gobbling up the home team liberal talking points like you did. You swallowed it all it all with no gag reflex. Congrats.

Oh look, now the DOJ is sending letters to peer reviewed journals. My summary of these first hundred days, from a trained scientific perspective, is that common sense trumps expertise.

It really is a shame what is happening to our public health infrastructure. The NIH pushing COVID vaccine guidelines with no scientific input. Everyone already has an opinion on the COVID vaccines.
I have an opinion on this RFK, he seems quite the healthcare expert.
Do you think he has spent any real time studying the history of public health? If I showed him a picture of an 8 year old chimney sweep in London from the 1800s, would he know what diseases we are preventing by not sending kids ups those soot filled chimneys anymore? That is occupational health 101, you don't even need to finish a degree to learn basic things. How is he in charge? Has he ever been cited as an author in something that was published in a peer reviewed public health journal? Did he see the framework for advancing science, built by geniuses over generations, and say, "Nah, I got a last name. Moms got phones and they hate seeing babies get poked, I'll get some of them on my side."

I think page 69 would be a very nice place to let this thread die...there is no world in which anyone on team jab has any leg to stand on at this point. You'd think the folks who were so wrong about everything would want to leave the past in the past, but sure, go ahead and remind everyone of all the ways you guys were astonishingly incorrect...
These guys are the new Progressive Flat Earth Society. It's where religion meets rabidly rooting for a favorite sports team.
Let them load up on as many not a vaccine jabs as they want and let the lemmings load up their infants with a bunch of crap they don't need. What could possibly go wrong?
I'm not arguing on behalf of vaccines. It is not a surprise the current leadership at the NIH used COVID vaccine guidance, based on no evidence, to smoke out some of the career scientists at the CDC. I will argue on the importance of trained scientists in those positions.
So many of those scientists were the gold standard pushing utter garbage as settled science 5 years ago. They were either dummies who fell upward or just run of the mill political activists. No room for either category. Should have run some of them out of the executive branch on a rail years ago. Good riddance.

We've completely avoided any submissions to the NIH for vaccine or vaccine-adjacent work for several months now. It started with many of the study sections going on pause and then eventually reached a point where full-blown grants were eliminated.
Notwithstanding the HHS budget outlook moving forward reduces NIH and NSF funding to ~60% of what it once was.
I'm very fortunate to be in a research platform that is well funded by a diversity of sources, and we can solicit vaccine funding from there. But around me I've met countless early scientists who are losing funding, postdocs being laid off, grants canceled en massee, others not reviewed. I had one friend whose tenure-track faculty offer in Florida was rescinded because he studies HIV in gay populations.
RFK's legacy will be completely destroying America's scientific prestige. Everything from Cancer to Cataracts will be affected. If it wasn't obvious from the clowns on this thread, the outcome of the Covid pandemic is the dumbest people on earth hijacking science and healthcare and driving it off a cliff.
