Would have been way more impactful and less predictable to have highlighted a researcher NOT from Harvard and not ended that he got a grant. He’s the exception in SO many ways in this extremely challenging environment

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Oh, they're totally going to blame the mothers for the existence of autistic people. It's eugenics wrapped in misogyny.
Trump: "If you can't tough it out, if you can't do it, that's what you're gonna have to do. You'll take a Tylenol, but it'll be very sparingly ... I think you shouldn't take it."

Tylenol use is safe in pregnancy, lowest effective dose.
Don’t listen to the utter nonsense emanating from the highest office in the land today.

I often talk about the fact that MAGA does not access the same news as the left wing. I present to you Exhibit A.
Dr. Daskalakis’ resignation letter excoriated RFK Jr. and shared that RFK Jr. was lying to the public, manipulating data, and ordering unethical actions.
This what Fox News served.

An ACIP member today aired concerns about a large number COVID vaccine reports to CDC VAERS safety monitoring. Important to remember that COVID vaccination easily dwarfs 30 years of vaccination: 241 million US residents got at least 1 dose by the end of 2021.

1) thimerosal is in <5% of all available flu (& only flu) vaccines
2) eating 3 oz tuna fish is objectively greater mercury exposure risk than a thimerosal-containing vaccine

An act of war weeks in planning but unauthorized by Congress against a country that Trump's own director of intelligence testified under oath was not close to getting a nuclear weapon.
