Three ring circus, liberal, and damned tired of watching the hate, the cruelty and the ignorance. It doesn’t have to be like this. Trying to stay sane and create a world my grandkids can thrive in.

If you want to know what's coming next - for all of science that the US government can touch, not just biomed - this thread looks at the roadmap laid out by Bhattacharya's fellow GBD author (and current chair of some cosplay vaccine authority I can't be bothered to look up):
The roadmap for turning the NIH into an EBM slush fund and shutting down real science. Kulldorf, in the new public health blog ("journal") co-founded by Bhattacharya.
1: Fund based on who applies 🤔, rather than ideas
2: Give ECR grants. But only to "medical, dental and public health school".

🧵 Here we go, exactly as predicted. Institutional medicine is going to roll right over for all of this, because science was discarded and replaced with "Evidence Based Medicine" heuristics that lock experts out of the room, and let medicine's management class cosplay as scientists.
