It's a research center, @MaryBowdenMD. Not a treatment center.
How does someone with a medical degree not comprehend the difference? FFS.
Hey @NIHDirector_Jay you better f’king hurry because these patients are getting worse by the day. THERE IS NO OFF SWITCH. Japan blood filtration is the best we can do, but spike antibodies rebound after a few months. DO SOMETHING.

Covid vaccine harms coverup: FDA suppressed data that showed that the mRNA vaccines in rare cases kill children because of myocarditis. As usual, the New York Times starred as the useful idiot for Big Pharma and the FDA. bit.ly/4ibWY8S

BREAKING: COVID vaccine cover-up.
FDA safety officers found evidence of fatal myocarditis in children after mRNA shots, recommended urgent label warnings—then the findings were buried.
The New York Times helped run the cover.

6/ This is a sharp turnaround for the Times. Decades ago they crusaded for transparency on Vioxx, Avandia, Risperdal, and antidepressant suicide risk in kids—forcing FDA to stop suppressing its own safety officers.
Now they’re protecting the narrative instead of the public. Patient advocates call this out.

A landmark government report is set to justify the enforcement of speech codes and punishment of thoughtcrimes that challenge a hegemonic ethnosupremacist ideology

Bari Weiss keeps urging her colleagues to do journalism and they, in turn, keep running to their peers to cry about it.

NEW: Ten months after the FDA determined several children likely died from mRNA COVID vaccines, the agency hasn't warned parents, as Big Pharma blocks the findings

Imagine that …FDA officials withholding critical COVID vaccine safety information? The public deserves a full, independent investigation and bipartisan congressional oversight.
We’ve seen this game before.
In 2004, FDA safety officer Dr. Andrew Mosholder was prevented from presenting findings of a nearly doubled risk of suicidality in children taking antidepressants. Senior FDA officials prevented him from presenting findings at FDA hearing on this topic. That controversy helped trigger major BIPARTISAN congressional investigations into FDA leadership and Big Pharma.
You cannot demand public trust while withholding critical safety information from the very people you’re supposed to protect.
We need the same congressional scrutiny today, along with journalism willing to ask difficult questions. We don’t need media protecting a one sided narrative. What happened to the @nytimes?
Drug safety isn’t red or blue. It’s about people, transparency, and accountability.

While I agree that @BrendanCarrFCC should enforce regulations, I think he needs to embrace our current reality that many of these media outlets just suck and can't do basic journalism.
I don't know if being incompetent and selling a crappy news product is a crime.
During this election season, there has been a significant surge in entirely Fake Polls and Suppression Polls designed to do nothing more than interfere with the regular functioning of the electoral process and alter the normal patterns of voter turnout and enthusiasm.
Many journalists and broadcasters have been amplifying or airing these Polls without regard to basic journalistic ethics and without informing the public that those Polls lack a scientific, accurate, or even real basis.
The FCC takes these issues seriously. Broadcasters are prohibited by the terms of their federal licenses from engaging in News Distortion or promoting Broadcast Hoaxes. It is important that broadcasters comply with their public interest obligations. After all, the country benefits greatly when Americans can trust and rely on the media to report the news fairly and accurately.
Broadcasters are advised to avoid engaging in News Distortions or running Broadcast Hoaxes by airing Polls that would violate their regulatory obligations. If broadcasters believe they should provide their viewers with additional context and information about Polls they have covered, they can now take those actions consistent with FCC regulations.
For a lot of various reasons, there was never going to be a massive outbreak. I didn't realise that Annie Jacobsen was hyping that.
And there it is
Hope you sold a few copies, @AnnieJacobsen, hope you enjoyed frightening a lot of people who think a Pulitzer Prize means something and your book was nonfiction and not a poorly written novel
Kara Swisher is absolute trash.
On the Bulwak podcast, Kara Swisher says Elon might already be in jail under Kamala Harris, and "he knows what's coming for him."
Another one to put in the "what Democrats plan to do if they take power" file:
"If Donald Trump loses the House and the Senate, I would worry. I'd be worried if I were him."
"So they're going to start investigating again. You think he's not on the list? He's at the top of that list."
"He has a very big sense of fate. And I think it's coming for him. And real hard."
They're all just saying this stuff out loud now. There are no secrets about what they want to do.
"According to security officials" is doing a hell of a lot of work here.
According to security officials, pro-Russian and far-right social media accounts linked to previous disinformation campaigns have spread violent videos in an attempt to sow more chaos ft.trib.al/t4nxjpO

The @FDA knew early on Covid shots were killing kids, but rather than start warning parents of possible adverse events, they bowed to political pressure & hid the data. The exact opposite thing these agencies are supposedly meant to do.
Great investigative reporting from my friend @thackerpd realclearinvestigations.com/…
