    I am so tired of the continuing lies that @POTUS inherited a #COVID19Vaccine mess, when in fact 99% of current vaccine manufacturing and distribution is EXACTLY as planned and explicitly described by Trump Administration's Operation Warp Speed

    #1/2 It seems that @twitter is censoring my tweets because I am calling out the continuing lies on @60Minutes that Trump had no vaccine plan. Fact is, current supply and ramp up are 99% due to Trump's #OperationWarpSpeed, including the pharmacy and #healthcenter roll-outs.

    My tweet was accurate then, and it remains so now. I am not "anti-vax" & even recommended vax in the tagged tweet. But there was no science basis for discriminating/tormenting/ruining those who had been naturally infected but were un-vaxed. @twitter never responded to me.
    Replying to @AlexBerenson
    11/ Yet Twitter wound up flagging @DrGiroirโ€™s tweet anyway, putting a misleading tag on it and preventing almost anyone from seeing it. It remains tagged even though several large studies have confirmed the truth of Giroirโ€™s words.

    @ScottGottliebMD's behavior speaks for itself. A former @FDA commissioner (now @pfizer board member) schemed with a lobbyist & @twitter to apparently put corporate interests first -- not public health. If anything, we need more open, honest, uncensored debate โ€“ not less.
    Replying to @AlexBerenson
    2/ In August 2021, Gottlieb told Todd O'Boyle - a senior manager in Twitter's public policy department - that a tweet from @DrGiroir claiming CORRECTLY that natural immunity was superior to vaccine immunity was "corrosive" and might "go viral."

    Wrong. $2 billion guarantee was warp speed. Prioritization of materials. Syringes and needle. Would not have happened but for Warp Speed. Get informed.
    Replying to @DrGiroir @DonaldJTrumpJr and @POTUS
    Again maga asshat it was developed by a company not part of warp speed

    And given the fact that @pfizer has >$70 billion in total revenues from its #COVID19 vaccine, why exactly do the taxpayers need to fund its development? Seems there is plenty of market incentive. And Jay: "C'mon man! It just works! Not joking."
    How does the President know that the covid vaccine "works" and that everybody needs it, whatever their immune status? Is there a secret randomized trial somewhere that only he and the FDA know about to prove this point?

    #2/2 And "Trump's mess and non-existent" vaccine plan had already achieved a rate of #COVIDVaccination to achieve #Biden goal of 100 million doss in 100 days when Biden inaugurated. If fact, #OperationWarpSpeed would have had to slow down to meet that new goal!

    How ironic that this is published today? bit.ly/3X01iMJ Honest debate on controversial science is not the same as "misinformation." And why do they not mention that @ScottGottliebMD now works for @pfizer when he proposes new freedoms for #BigPharma? @AlexBerenson

    Today in @CDCMMWR bit.ly/3rVv6eQ: Risk of #COVID19 re-infection is 2.34X greater in unvaccinated. BUT doing the math (based on rough numbers I pulled), only ~0.1% of previously infected got re-infected/2 months; 0.03% of vaccinated got re-infected. BOTH very low risk!

    I agree fully. @NIH does not get to redact communications that are inconveniently true. There is no legitimate rationale for this NOT being public. It is NOT classified. It is NOT "pre-decisional" since the USG official (Fauci) was speaking with a non-USG person.
    Tony Fauci's unredacted email about his conversation with @JeremyFarrar on the lab leak in Feb 2020 should have been part of the public record after the initial FOIA request. The @nih has flouted its FOIA obligations the entire pandemic. An abuse of power.

    FDA doesn't schedule; it only recommends. FDA's recommendation was rejected b/c of embarrassingly poor evidence & data, and a failure to consider overall public health. If #Kratom is fueling opioid addiction, prove it; and then @HHS_ASH should reconsider. bit.ly/3wm3fFF
    We were prevented by HHS from moving forward with the scheduling of Kratom, and Iโ€™m convinced itโ€™s fueling the opioid addiction crisis. The Biden Administration should follow through on efforts of FDA, NIH, and DEA โ€” and the new ASH should affirm health findings of these agencies

    Why are children not back in #schools in Washington, California, Oregon, and Washington DC - when the science proves that #COVID19 school transmission is nearly entirely prevented with reasonable mitigation like masks and distancing? Harms to our children will be long-lasting.

    How fantastic it was to be in my local @Walgreens and see over the counter #BinaxNOW from @AbbottNews. Two test for under $25. Although there is not much talk of #COVID19 testing these days, tests will remain a critical weapon especially during winter respiratory virus season
