Hear! Hear! May 2026 bring some joy to you all, and hopefully a nasty message to the Luddites in charge when the midterms come round!
As we close out the no good, horrible, very bad year that was 2025, we honor the NIH staff and extramural scientists who have stood up against the lawlessness of the current regime. So many people, some known, others faceless, care about the health of All Of Us.

The Great Pandemic Rewrite minimized COVID, made it a lab leak, and attacked interventions.
Now it is squarely focused on the vaccine— and the math doesn’t hold up. John Ioannidis has an order of magnitude problem.

NEW: On a podcast last month, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary:
- said HIV “very likely came from a lab.”
- said Lyme disease came from a lab—“a high degree of probability.”
- said the so-called “Montauk
