DP but I’ll bookmark and come back to you in five years. We’ve been promised all kinds of magic that never happens. Stem cells were going to cure everything, and here we are. HPV vaccine is the only one that has proven successful and that’s as a preventative. We are not anywhere near five years away from a vaccine as a cancer treatment. Even some successes such as CAR-T are showing to have some troubling issues, such as possibly inducing Parkinson’s Disease. |

Just like I thought. You don’t have what it takes. |

I couldn't believe WTOP said yesterday that he spreads "misinformation", I mean the guy is at Stanford and respected even by the current COVID czar/ |

LOL that someone can’t spread “misinformation” just because they’re at Stanford. Paging Scott Atlas….. |

well apparently then Ashish Jha is also not to be believed given he said that JB is an intelligent, fact and research led guy "There were times during the pandemic where he took a set of views that were contrary to most people in the public health world, including my own views," says Dr. Ashish Jha, the dean of the Brown University School of Public Health who served as President Biden's COVID-19 Response Coordinator. "But he's fundamentally a very smart, well-qualified person." |

Biden's? |

No, RFK’s. And yours, apparently, since you can’t read. |

Try to imagine a debate between RFK and JB. It's clear whose brain has been eaten by parasites. |

RFK’s brain was literally eaten by a worm. He admitted it in a deposition. |

| Any other NIHers working today feel like they have a huge ‘X’ on their back? Certainly doesn’t feel good to be “public enemy number one” when you’ve worked incredibly hard in Civil service for your whole career. |

I feel less good about the fact that we don’t even have an acting director. We’ve had how long to plan for this transition? It’s appalling “leadership.” So those of us further down the chain are left to reassure our teams and figure stuff out with zero guidance from people who are supposed to have our backs. |

Today I was told by management that they will not be renewing any service contracts on instruments until we get a new budget. These are instruments we use to analyze samples for human clinical trials, i.e. make sure the drugs we're going to administer to people is to specification.
Back in thr day when I worked for a start-up biotech, I had a colleague who had been trained and had worked in a Communist country. He was really good at jerry-rigging instruments to make them work. I wonder if we're headed in that direction. |
