Wait wait! In addition to all this: Real Clear isn’t some spontaneous thing, it’s a rightwing site funded by the same far-right billionaires - Koch, Uihlein, Bradley, etc - that want to tear down the govt, incl to destroy US cancer research. Real Clear is part of the Project 2025 effort.

So in a huge surprise to absolutely no one, it turns out that NIH director Jay Bhattacharya's new journal based on the premise of letting his friends and only his friends publish essentially whatever they want is full of crackpot nonsense from retired cranks.

“Liz Uihlein minimized the virus, calling it “overhyped,” and endangered Uline workers by allegedly using lax safety practices and initially discouraging employees from working from home”

Oh wait the billionaires behind Jay Bhattacharya’s fake journal denying COVID risk also made more money if they kept their factories going by denying COVID risk??

And this is why saving American cancer research, and enabling future cures for cancer and Alzheimer’s and other diseases, absolutely requires taking on the political power of billionaires. 👇👇 bsky.app/profile/hami...

The most important political task in America is clawing back wealth from the very rich. The most important ballot measure in America is the California billionaire tax. Oligarchy is at the front door. Time to stop fucking around. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-war-ag...

The second the rightwing billionaire world found it useful for their agenda of making more money, they went to war against biomedical research and saving lives from COVID and Tony Fauci and NIH. Billionaires boosted careerists willing to tell lies in service of that agenda-like Trump’s NIH director.
