    Overjoyed to hear of the nomination of @DrJBhattacharya to Director of NIH. Dr B is compassionate, thoughtful, wise, and has the rare and urgent skill of being able to evaluate trade offs and the true effects of policy. He's exactly who should be in charge of this agency and by

    How many people were deplatformed or accused of being antivax for merely suggesting this in the past?

    One of the saddest phenomena I have witnessed is pundits like yourself parrot model outputs that are literally made up out of thin air, and present it as fact. No David, this is not data, it's propaganda. You're clearly unable to tell the difference.

    Every Governor who stood by and allowed schools to stay closed last year should be voted out of office. Every single one. Democrats and Republicans.

    If the damage they caused was merely psychological or something else subjective and hard to quantify, sure, amnesty. Except they destroyed people, harmed children, and used threats, coercion, and abused their powers. They revealed their contempt for us and will do it all again.

    It was actually an epic day. Pro-censorship, govt suppression loving propaganda churnalists are experiencing the market force of the public deciding their product is crap, and @mtaibbi just broke the biggest story of the last 2 years as a real, independent journalist. Learn.

    Want to know why people still think we're in a pandemic? And who falsely attribute all sars-cov2 positives? "Hospitals receive a 20% increase in the Medicare payment rate for every patient diagnosed with COVID. yahoo.com/news/enough-ba…

    Imagine being a 13 yr old kid, who took 2 doses of vaccine looking forward to ditching the mask for a normal school year, only to get hospitalized with myocarditis, then find out he still has to wear a mask in school with no end in sight. What a betrayal @CDCDirector

    Quick reminder that even Pfizer openly admits that for every booster for perfectly healthy and vaccinated male, they will trade an "averted Covid 19 hospitalization" for a case of Myocarditis. And FDA is just cool with it.
