Husband, dad, oncologist, virologist, rower. I’m evidence-driven. Fallen academic (U of MN, NIH, UC-San Diego) who went into drug development. Not Swedish nor a chef, but Beaker is a valued friend.

Don’t forget the upcoming wave of cavities when fluoride goes a way in some places. Oh, and cancer since lots of kids won’t be getting their HPV vaccine until it’s too late.
Just thinking about all those Trump voters with pre-existing conditions who didn’t know the ACA they voted against was the same thing as the Obamacare they rely upon while electing an idiot who hired the psycho who is going to make Polio, whooping cough, mumps & measles great again at the same time.

The next NIH director seems to have missed the fact that hundreds of thousands of Americans died before we had COVID vaccines, and a lot more would have died if we hadn’t limited interpersonal contact for a while. Also, not sure which economies were “demolished.”
Happy thanksgiving! If you work to stop pandemics, be grateful you still have a job. The next NIH director has some plans for you.

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.
