@luckytran@med-mastodon.comThe Trump administration plans to nominate Jay Bhattacharya to lead the NIH. Bhattacharya has spread disinformation on COVID, fought against lifesaving measures including vaccines, masks, and social distancing, and is backed by dark money groups pushing corporate interests.
The NIH is the largest funder of biomedical research on the planet. Having a discredited corporate-backed contrarian like Bhattacharya as its head will disrupt critical lifesaving research on vaccines, Long COVID, and pandemic threats etc. and undermine public health generally.
Some media outlets are already sane-washing Bhattacharya. To learn more about how he has spread disinformation that undermines public health, is widely discredited by real experts, and is funded by dark money, read this piece by Walker Bragman who has tracked him throughout the pandemic: https://www.importantcontext.news/p/everything-you-need-to-know-about
@luckytran I'd forgotten some of the terrible things he said. Some of my friends were part of that shocking death toll: older people who kept going out because they believed that it was just a little flu.
And there sits H5 flu, looking for an unwatched open door.
Yes, and maybe M-Pox (Monkey Pox) too.
Oh, and any new dangerous mutations of COVID.
Well, heck, maybe even plain old current versions of COVID if vaccine booster shots get messed with.
Bottom line, having Bhattacharya head the NIH makes American medicine worth considerably less at home and abroad. Despite the Biden Administration providing false validation to the Great Barrington Declaration at Palantir's behest, everything optimistic Bhattacharya has said about Covid has been disproven. I can think of no worse pick to head the NIH... unless, of course, your real intent was to kill scores of millions with disease.
@luckytran Trump is sabotaging government by appointing evil clowns, the evidence of his treason is staring you in the face, America, it's spitting in your eye.
@luckytran the vast majority of my wife's research funding comes from the NIH. She's (not unreasonably) concerned that she won't have a job this time next year.
@luckytran The guy they first propped up with some fake awards and academic credentials.

Batshit crazy that TFG is staking his legacy on antivaxxers. America is in deep trouble. . .
@space_wrangler @luckytran I've said this before, but have these morons never walked through a colonist graveyard. I have, a couple. You can see where groups of kids from the same family died of some infection within days of each other. Sometimes a parent as well.
Its almost like TFG has no idea why there was a POTUS that used a wheelchair. Polio: The MAGA Return Tour is going to hurt a lot of ppl
@luckytran what corporate interests are served by people dying of preventable disease?
@lightninhopkins @luckytran
Good question.
One answer, ironically might be healthcare. There's money in palliative care, isn't there?
@Andii @luckytran Nah, Hospice is not a money maker.
@luckytran horrible. Blame the democrats and joe biden for corruption and no alternative.
@luckytran
Its almost laughable...
We can lay down for it or we can clog the machinery...
I vote for clogging ...
Please get everyone you know to apply for jobs in January at NIH...
Fake resumes, add a bunch of degrees...
I already did it on Heritage Website and they called me back 
Same for ICE and all government positions that will be open.
CLOG THE MACHINERY.
@luckytran People like #Bhattacharya, because they come from extreme wealth and privilege have never experienced life outside of the #BubbleOfPrivilege. They have zero concept of what the bulk of humanity goes through on a daily basis. They relate to the world as though everyone is both #Wealthy and #Privileged
@luckytran I think we are screwed. Thank God I have multiple passports.
