#JayBhattacharya got famous writing speculative #CoViD19 fiction that put entire nations at risk without much relevant background. Now he's concern trolling the statistical design of vaccine studies as though he cares about rigor.
You know what could've used rigorous peer review? The #GreatBarringtonDeclaration ... š
"Itās worth noting that at the time Kulldorff and the rest of the GBD crew were proclaiming COVIDās harmlessness to kids, they couldnāt possibly have had enough information to determine the veracity of their own claims. Viruses like the chickenpox, EBV, HIV, HPV, and HSV often present with mild initial infections but may cause major damage years later. We now know COVID can as well.
"For so-called experts to run with an assumption that an initially mild-presenting acute infection would be long-term harmless was just that; an assumption. They were willing to gamble the health of a generation of children on a guess in order to go āback to normalā because thatās what the oligarchy clamored for. Because it costs money to shut the world economy down. Because people who mattered were angry. Because children arenāt people who matter."
(GBD = Great Barrington Declaration, a bit of 2020 propaganda including the unfounded supposition that everyone who caught covid would be immune forever after)
Overall another excellent pointy article!

Yes, vigilance comes second only to sleep. And food. And attractive smells.
We're putting our breakfasts together and calling them the #GreatBarringtonDeclaration.

Holy hell America, what have you done.
Jay Bhattacharya, an NIH critic, emerges to lead the agency | Washington Post
The President of #Stanford is providing opening remarks at #COVID19 policy summit featuring all the people who ignored scientific evidence in advocating for destructive policies and harassing critics, in the name of #AcademicFreedom. š”
The articles linked below š review this rogues' gallery of bad-faith actors, such as signers of the #GreatBarringtonDeclaration and notorious spreader of anti-vax misinformation Alex #Berenson.
Seeing Bhattacharya being platformed in 2023 when he's been ripped apart by judges in countless legal cases shows me how utterly captured our news media is. It really is propaganda, I don't care that they post this stuff in the opinion section.
_Carl Heneghan at the UK COVID-19 Inquiry_ thread š§µ
From his dodging the questions, to hus long speeches while answering the questions, to his not considering disability in the equation, to his comment that his opinion is somehow evidence, it's a thousand hoots for you and your whole family.
