Worth a read. Many have taken note of the growing solidarity in the science community in opposition to the OMB proposed rule. But this must be just the start.
For an example, we can look to @sekahn.bsky.social, Justin Ryder & co who spoke up at ADA and were removed for it.

The strong collective response of the science community to the proposed OMB rule has demonstrated the broad unity that’s possible when we all work together. We'd do well to apply this same level of activation to the larger assaults on science and democracy. My new post: blog.ucs.org/gretchen-gol...
The scientific community is fighting a proposed change to research funding. Let's keep this momentum going to take on more attacks on science.
Bingo.
A fantasy from 2020 where Jay Bhattacharya and Scott Atlas were superheroes, more powerful than COVID.
They "proposed" and "argued for" things in 2020.
Yet, they were censored and silenced. They were called fringe.
My perspective, working in NYC hospitals was of no interest.
Oh well!

"I've put a couple of kids in the hospital." But they didn't die, and it's all good.
JFC.
The proposed new rules on federal funding are another blow to 🇺🇸 science
But they will also harm international collaborations, the lifeblood of science and health 🌐
Where is the US medical leadership and outrage?

By the way. This filmed a year ago. During his first days in office Jay Bhattacharya was making a film about all the things he “argued for” in 2020.
"History will assign responsibility clearly. The only question is how much America will have lost before it does."
Ben Ryan, who will screenshot this and mention my employer, feels that anyone who criticizes him for his MAHA boosterism is “farming engagement”
Only he is pure of heart.
Any word from the MAHA fluffers?

In this piece, @gretchentg.bsky.social @ucs.org praises the collective response from scientists to the proposed OMB rule—but says we’d “do well to apply this same level of activation to the larger assaults on science & democracy that are harming communities” 👏👏👏

The COVID Amnesia Project has seamlessly morphed into the MAHA Amnesia Project, and it’s up to us not to forget the sheltered sycophants and enablers whose enthusiastic support of the pandemic’s w
I was interviewed for this revisionist propaganda & provided detailed refutations of every point it.
I didn't make the cut.
Oh well!
The @wsj.com thinks only doctors who treated 0 COVID patients have valuable insights about COVID.
At least it won't fool anyone.
Everyone can see through it.
“I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital, and they have been sick, but they recovered. But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer. And I’m going against the grain here. I’m climbing a mountain they say you can’t climb.”
The delusional stylings of Mark McAfee, whose raw milk farm makes $30 million/year.
That they interviewed you and didn't include anything you said tells me this is pure revisionism aka part of the COVID Amnesia Project.
🆕 Yikes, I know the Great Barrington Declaration/MAHA/MAGA dudes who run the US federal health & health research systems promised to boost trust in public health, but, surprise (!), a new study shows such trust has FALLEN DRAMATICALLY in the first year of Trump 2.0

President Trump has repeatedly claimed the coronavirus is “going away” since the beginning of the pandemic despite the U.S. death toll climbing over 200,000. NBC News compiles Trump making this claim ...
Ben Ryan is one of the most farcical dudes on the anti-trans beat. I laughed out loud when this tweet was brought to my attention. I don’t want to deprive you of that kind of fun. Enjoy.
