I have never seen such a level of incompetence on display in the first 15 minutes of this ACIP day 2 meeting.

It’s mind boggling how dumb these people are. They literally do not understand anything they are talking about.

This is gonna piss me off. I don’t know how I’m going to make it through

Romanian foreign minister accuses Musk of election intereference - Euractiv The minister's reaction comes after Bloomberg reported that the Trump administration was pressuring Romania to accept Georgescu's candidacy.

In case you were wondering, yes, the Trump administration and Elon Musk were accused of interference in the lead up phase to the final election. Russia, Trump, Musk, extremists on one side, Europe, NATO, moderates, and stable democracy on the other.

America's Slide into Authoritarianism, as seen from TED 2025 The main message from TED 2025 wasn't the talks, but America's rapid slide into authoritarianism.

-Carole Cadwalladr

"It's a coup. The purchase of an American president (and American sovereignty) by Elon Musk is unprecedented, and it appears to be advancing unabated."

To clarify, all my images are how they are seen in the microscope; there is no manipulation. The color selection is arbitrary, but that's about it.
They are also all acquired in 3D, and properly analyzed and quantified for data extraction. I use a Zeiss LSM800 microscope and Imaris Software.

Prasad's substack: "Jay Bhattacharya will create a portfolio of funding to investigate the harms of lockdowns, school closures, vaccine mandates, and other unproven draconian COVID19 measures. This will create a lasting body of scholarship which will deter future public health tyrants. I myself have worked in this space, now having authored more than 25 COVID19 papers."

Prasad already gave up the game. Jay's gonna direct taxpayer money to his crank friends to write worthless op-eds rallying against disease mitigations masquerading as official NIH scientific papers
