They’ve also published major missteps (like RFKJ’s favorite, the since retracted Wakefield MMR-autism piece).
But that’s not evidence of “corruption.” It’s a sign that science corrects itself. Retractions & debate are how science stays honest.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.
A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Letting DOJ continue to prevaricate and deflect responsibility in written submissions seems ... insufficient at this point.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.
