I know not everyone can keep up with all the grant terminations, but it’s important to know what we’re losing so I’ll try to compile them here.

First is a study on intimate partner violence with perinatal women (note: the #1 cause of death during pregnancy is homicide)

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

A rapid detection method of replication-competent plasmid DNA from COVID-19 mRNA vaccines for quality control

A high school project, abused by the plasmid-gate proponents. What does it really show?

A rapid detection method of replication-competent plasmid DNA from COVID-19 mRNA vaccines for quality control | Published in Journal of High School Science
By Tyler J Wang, Alex Kim & 1 more. DNA contamination is the primary reason that undermines public trust in the quality of mRNA vaccines. We report a method to detect residual replication-competent plasmid DNA present in mRNA vaccines.

“The goal of the scolds has never been to change hearts or minds. It was never about deep concern for a culture that was resorting to violence as a last resort. America has always been a deeply violent place, and these same people never really gave shit about any of that”

It is bad. Not a big surprise but elections do have consequences. This time around those consequences are bad. And those are coming. Time to brace ourself. Seriously.

Antivaxxers (especially McCullough et al) have manufactured fake evidence of vaccine harm using 3 techniques to bypass legitimate peer review:

You’re simply confusing original research into specific scientific areas, with the technological innovation that combines various sciences into applied technologies. Technological innovation is a continuum of incremental advances with occasional startling breakthroughs like the iPhone.

There's also parallels as to how the corrupt pharoahs and priests poorly handled a changing climate, which led to severe drought that plagued the region for those living beyond the Nile.
