All of the people who said such positive things about Jay Bhattacharya can be ignored.
He has nothing of value to add to the conversation.
Jonathan Howard@joho.bsky.social
Jay Bhattacharya recently defended his censorship of a CDC vaccine study in one of the most Orwellian articles I’ve ever read. But it revealed a more fundamental problem. He doesn’t realize he’s the medical establishment now. It’s not his job to whine. It’s his job to deliver results.

BREAKING: Trump & Zeldin violated EPA workers' First Amendment rights, even when warned of the risk. The "Declaration of Dissent" letter was executed on personal time, & the retaliation was a legal & ethical violation. Thank you to the EPA workers who took a stand. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

Nasal Spray Flu Vaccines Create 'Battlefield' In Adults' Noses
Nasal spray flu vaccines don't work like a traditional shot in the arm, and researchers are working to compare the protection each provides.

My spouse and kid went to the Raleigh protest, which focused on “kids before companies!” (I am post-op & not able to march yet), and there was a MASSIVE turnout

A May Day protester is asked why they are out protesting today in NYC: "People are suffering. People are dying. The rich get richer off the backs of poor and working class people." Nailed it!

Took the pets to the vet today; vaccines and annual exam. Felt a little bad politely (but repeatedly) declining everything else, and wanted to tell them “I decline all the unnecessary stuff for myself too”
No, we are not getting the wellness screening labs 🙄🙄🙄

I find it utterly repulsive that Jay Bhattacharya called my colleague’s research proposal “bad science” (Dr Green’s proposal was to study inequalities in healthcare)
I coauthored this piece with Dr Green for @bmj.com on how the war on DEI will worsen Americans’ health: www.bmj.com/content/391/...
Michael D. Green, PhD@michaeldgreen.phd
Notably this is the “bad science” I was accused of doing a few months ago. Here’s some statements from the NIH Director justifying meddling in already vetted research because it is “DEI”. Please let me know if you think that studying unequal treatment in healthcare against all adults is “DEI”?

I wouldn’t describe it as reassured, per se.

Before you are too reassured, this is completely a function of gas prices.

Jeremy Faust, MD, MS, attending physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, published the study on his popular Substack,
