A must-read, must-share piece - clearly deconstructing the shoddy science of the Geiers (who are inexplicably in charge of studies at HHS).

The reason it’s so powerful is that it turns /your body/ into the factory that makes the drug. It’s so exciting that the US not working on it will be seen as one of the biggest self-owns in history.

I introduced a motion to subpoena the Epstein files. We got the votes.
Today, we got the subpoena.
The DOJ has 2 weeks to release the Epstein files to the Oversight Committee. Justice must apply to everyone, no matter how rich, powerful, or well-connected they are.

The problem is: they've mistaken correlation for causation. They think their parents and grandparents had a good life *because* of manufacturing jobs. When, in reality, their parents and grandparents had a good life *despite* manufacturing jobs, because of unions, high taxes, and social policies.

A NIH Lab Chief is like a department head. They manage multiple NIH PIs within their lab. Stadtman Investigators are tenure-track PIs chosen because their research is considered exceptionally innovative. This RIF eliminates an entire group of labs.

Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world.
Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Ahh the first snowfall of the year in #Pittsburgh and I am so happy. Made a few stops this morning but my favorite views were from the incline, with a barge on the river and everything. Heckuva way to start a Friday.
