Prasad was an excellent choice, but, sure, RFK was a terrible pick, but probably not worse than Levine!

I think you are too ideologically possessed to enter into a serious discussion about the evidence base....

Answer me this: why did the two vaccine experts at the FDA quit in Sept 2021? You seem to be acting like all was well with the FDA and CDC until Trump showed up, which is demonstrably false.

? Great argument for a 'scientist'...

Unlike the OP, who has provided no supporting evidence for her second and third claims, Vinay Prasad at the FDA is a paragon of Evidence Based Medicine.

Qualify your second and third point by appealing to the evidence base, otherwise your declarative statements are just as vacuous as repeating "trans women are women" over and over again-- simply saying it doesn't make it true.

? You realize he is right?!

@juliametraux.bsky.social let's discuss the evidence based together and use EBM to defeat the enemies of science! We can start with the Cochrane controversy....

What is the role of the FDA? If the cost benefit analysis of COVID vaccines shows they are a net harm to young children, wouldn't you want the FDA to, I don't know, do it's job????

Would @juliametraux.bsky.social like to show us the randomised control trials that demonstrated the effectiveness of surgical masks at significantly reducing rates of transmission of respiratory viruses? If she is so "infuriated" she must have good reasons-- what are they??????

Lol, are you kidding! Where were you from 2020-2024???!!

I use Chatgpt 5.1 'thinking' and 'deep research' mode from time to time in my historical research, usually in parallel with my own efforts as a trainee assistant, and it is actually getting quite useful, and saving me time. NotebookLM is a great way to interface with your own notes.

Whatever that is, I can't see it, it just says 'blocked'.

'Experts' aren't created equally in a degree factory so that they are interchangeable with one another; very few are savants, even though all of them are autists. Only a small minority embody and epitomize the highest values of their profession. Don't "listen to the experts", listen to the savants.

Remember when virologists engineered a virus in a lab that escaped, causing a global pandemic that killed 20 million people and they weren't held accountable? That was weird...

Giles translation 'The Sayings of Lao Tzu' is superb.

They are extremely useful as a research assistant, are you saying that, as an academic, you don't see their value?!

Do you really think the "me too" movement touched the middle-eastern Muslim men who are flooding into your country?!

Maybe we should start calling people racist for criticizing Christianity and have a Christophibia awareness month...

The same liberal women who are "fighting the patriarchy" and who regard criticizing Christianity as a virtue will call you racist if you criticize Islam, the most patriarchal religion on the planet. Make it make sense...

This is the natural, inevitable, easily avoidable consequence of the politicisation of every aspect of the science of the pandemic, along with Draconian, unscientific vaccine mandates.

if you think I'm a bot you are being paranoid... The only person exhibiting bot behaviour here is you.

And yes, if you think I'm a bot you are being paranoid...

You seem to be obsessed with me...

Why do you keep deleting this post after I comment on it and then repost it?? And what point are you trying to make?
