Here's the @nytimes.com obituary on Schatz's father, Dr. Irwin Schatz, who died in 2015 www.nytimes.com/2015/04/19/h...

Dr. Schatz was a young cardiologist in 1965 when, objecting to experiments on uneducated black men, he wrote the U.S. Public Health Service a letter whose moral force came to light seven years later.

Whether any of this matters remains to be seen. There's a ton of concern about Gabbard's nomination, from lack of qualifications, predilection for conspiracy theories, etc. Experts say her ties to Butler and the SIF might be something lawmakers are afraid to touch. www.civilbeat.org/2024/12/sena...

Also love that @civilbeat.bsky.social got a shout out for our coverage of Gabbard's presidential campaign funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to fellow Butler disciples. Here's the specific piece they linked to: www.civilbeat.org/2020/02/tuls...

Something that stuck out in this piece was the Trump team's assertion that she was "never" affiliated with the group. Gabbard's connections are deep and undeniable. She's even admitted to being a disciple of Chris Butler, SIF's leader. So that must mean someone here is not telling the truth.
