Jay Bhattacharya’s “plan to drive Gold Standard Science”: A Trojan horse for Lysenko-izing the NIH
Last week, the NIH published a plan to "drive Gold Standard Science." The plan cunningly wraps what are obvious Lysenkoist ideological purity tests disguised as "academic freedom" and "unbiased peer review" in seemingly reasonable proposals.
What do mRNA vaccines, Synthroid, and pharmaceuticals have in common (according to MAHA)?
If you want to understand why Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has halted $500 million in funding for mRNA vaccine development, look no further than Synthroid and herbal medicines.
Every accusation was a confession of what they wanted to do if they were to attain power
On Friday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that would shift power over grantmaking away from career scientists to political appointees. Lysenkoism 2.0 has been made official policy, and science in the US is in deep trouble.

A class of sheltered COVID pundits are eager to conjure an alternate history where we let the virus spread in 2020 and everything turned out just fine.
RFK Jr.’s vaccine committee bloodbath: I hope you’re all up-to-date on your vaccines…

Lysenkoism 2.0 and the dismantling of the NIH
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s "make America healthy again" is basically Lysenko 2.0. It's come to the NIH and is destroying the crown jewel of US biomedical research with ideology and cronyism.
HHS is weaponizing evidence-based medicine to falsely portray vaccines as unsafe
Last week, HHS announced that all "new vaccines will undergo safety testing in placebo-controlled trials." Sounds good? Not so fast. This is really a deceptive weaponization of evidence-based medicine to undermine confidence in vaccines and eliminate at least some of them.
How bad is it? RFK Jr.’s extinction-level threat to science-based federal health policy and public health is here
Five months ago, I called RFK Jr. an "extinction-level" threat to US biomedical science and public health. That extinction is under way.
Paul Thacker relitigates criticisms of Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and the Great Barrington Declaration
