They’ll wait until trumps gone, then surprise us all with the level of corruption they didn’t bother to previously report on…

Yes, the mRNA vax that saved countless from.COVID, and that same science now showing promise for pancreatic cancer. These fools are preventing lifesaving advancements. 🤬

FDA Vaccine Chief Front-Runner Called mRNA Vaccines “Experimental Genetic Technology,” Compared Pandemic Response to Iranian Rule Dr. Houman David Hemmati is closely aligned with the MAHA movement.

Another reality check from @walkerbragman.bsky.social. Don't let the PR stunt of not mentioning their anti-vaxx agenda fool you - this MAHA gang is all about taking us back to the pre-vaccine era... open.substack.com/pub/importan...

It’s a disgrace and I’m grateful and inspired by all of you who have the fortitude to speak out about it…

And this happened all over, with the added burden being that HR personnel were fired and there were fewer people to process the paperwork. Meanwhile, moving goalposts and shifting sand since Liz left.

Memoli's reward - promotion & $500 million non-competing contract w/ Taubenberger (now NIAID head).
Ironic - for 6 yrs lab leakers & hard right politicians have alleged that CoV scientists benefited from NIAID funding for supporting a zoonotic origin. Turns out this was just a bit of gaslighting...

Reasons for Memoli's promotion to NIH Acting Dir. are pretty outrageous given his lack of experience & seem to be he refused COVID-19 vaccine, complained about vaccine mandates, & was reprimanded for calling DEI 'offensive & demeaning'.

Lab leak narrative pushers not all on the up- and up when it comes to ethical conduct?

Count me shocked 🫠

Shocked I say!

Well... not that shocked ⬇️

“created a series of ‘bat-man’ CoV chimeric spike proteins” was pretty recognizable phrasing… there are longer examples that weren’t cited as well.

The whole thing is just a bad copy of a very bad paper.

With pleasure...

PS: Just found a crazy 'disclaimer' on this dude's website (which I won't amplify here). He cites Sen. Josh Hawley (you know that Right wing voice of reason) to support his claim that it's all a put-up job by COVID coverup operatives including yours truly... Trump playbook 101 - call it fake news...

Scientists left 'homeless' after government's job cuts, advocates say Cutbacks have led to the loss of about 700 roles and the withdrawal of hundreds of millions of dollars.

In the end, I guess I shouldn't be surprised... there are plenty of shady characters involved in the COVID lab leak conspiracy. Just disappointing that @pubs.acs.org still haven't taken down the paper, despite its obvious flaws & the damage this sort of garbage does to public trust in science...

Scientist who alleged COVID cover-up circulated a faked NIH email, agency says Ariel Fernández A scientist charged with research misconduct used a fake email communication with an NIH researcher’s address to support his claims of governmental retaliation, Retraction Watch has…

Now @retractionwatch.com reports that Dr. Fernández has apparently shifted the blame to an NIH staffer & supported it w/ fake NIH emails!

retractionwatch.com/2026/04/13/s...

Turns out the author was under investigation by the Office of Research Integrity for a bunch of similar cases. @retractionwatch.com spoke with the author & he alleged I was somehow behind this. My response is below & in an article they published back in March: retractionwatch.com/2026/03/26/a...

Didn't expect this bizarre outcome. In 2021 @pubs.acs.org published a paper by Ariel Fernández full of COVID lab leak conspiracy nonsense (Twitter thread x.com/PeterDaszak/...). They refused to retract but issued an Expression of Concern. Forward 5 yrs & @retractionwatch.com contacted me about it..

Fact-checking Matt Ridley’s “Scientific Freedom Lecture” at NIH (Part III) This post is the third and final part of my debunk of Matt Ridley’s inaugural Scientific Freedom Lecture at NIH. The first part can be read here and the second part here. Ridley’s lecture is available...

Here is finally the third, and last, part of my rebuttal of Matt Ridley's inaugural "Scientific Freedom Lecture" at NIH on a lab leak origin of COVID-19.

Final (part 3) of @flodebarre.eurosky.social's well-researched debunking of Viscount Ridley's NIH "Freedom" lecture ends on a high note: "..no scientific content, only speculation based on misrepresentation, invention of facts, falsehoods and lies."

Part 2 of @flodebarre.eurosky.social's detailed dismantling of Ridley's ridiculous 'fact-free' NIH lecture.

Lies, hype, innuendo, a blatant disregard of scientific process, & conspiracies long-since debunked. All from a silver-spooner conspiracy-obsessed contrarian. Good work Bhattacharya..

Government Workers Say They're Getting Inundated With Religion “This has never happened before,” one government employee tells WIRED. “I have never gotten a message like this from anyone.”

Really important story from @wired.com: The Christian Nationalists who want to destroy the American secular state are now making their presence felt

www.wired.com/story/govern...

Their conspiracies are built on a series of mini-omissions, misquoted or out-of-context private email snippets, lies, & suppositions about scientists' motives. So easy to generate, but so hard to debunk. Thanks @flodebarre.eurosky.social & @zachhensel.bsky.social for doing the hard work...

As HHS Rails Against Science Politicization, Leading Agency Officials Embrace Right-Wing Political Action The surprising number of public health officials at CPAC last month highlights what critics say is a disturbing trend.

Rightwing takeover of US public health: @walkerbragman.bsky.social on Bhattacharya's previous appearances at Turning Point USA's "Americafest", Steve Bannon's War Room, Brownstone Institute & now delighting CPAC w/ his De-DEI-fication of NIH & rally calls to MAHA. open.substack.com/pub/importan...

If you see a doctor with an accent and think getting rid of that doctor will somehow bring you one without an accent, you are mistaken. The real choice is often a doctor with an accent or no doctor at all. Choose.

It’s a “double-debunking” w/ @zachhensel.bsky.social compounding @flodebarre.eurosky.social’s continuing takedown of Ridley’s rubbish…

As part of my efforts to combat the COVID Amnesia Project, let's accurately remember what 3 influential laptop class doctors from Stanford said 6 years ago as COVID overflowed hospitals and morgues.

They won't remind you.

I will.

My latest.

“The virus that I wanted to infect your kids with… CAME FROM A LAB.”

One of my favorite Lab Leak fantasies - the $0.5 billion A/C. Utterly nonsensical from the get-go, yet, it became a driving force behind "official" reports.

You might think this is an isolated example, but alas - all lab leak conspiracy theories are built on such crumbling piles of tosh.

Bob Kadlec: "I call it virological Russian roulette" And if you believe that, he has a half-billion-dollar air conditioner to sell you

In 2022, @vanityfair.com and @propublica.org reported a "Complex and Grave Situation" in Wuhan.

Analysis by @katherineeban.bsky.social and @jeffykao.bsky.social was based on a farscical investigation led by Bob Kadlec.

This post shows how they were duped by a half-billion dollar air conditioner.
