Listened to the Inside Politics Cheri Jacobus podcast w/ Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD on Patreon & you should too. It’s a non-BS talk about being an infectious disease specialist “these days”, c. 2010-2030. Yes he has an outlook for the rest of the decade and believes he’ll still be needed.

Eric Feigl-Ding Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD Jefferey Jaxen This is deeply disturbing, Eric. Such troubled times.

twitter is not the town hall of free speech. There's no content moderation, and violence is encouraged and rewarded on X.

John Basham NIH Ummmm, no. If you read the full email… it was an email meant for Peter D, not Hotez. Morens even apologized when he realized he sent it to the wrong Peter.

Amy Taylor ✝️🌵 You should realize it was sent to the wrong Peter. The email wasn’t about Hotez at all.

The disinformation aside, vaccine requirements are not set by individual public schools. School vaccine requirements are determined by state legislators. Of course the POTUS can be a powerful and in this case detrimental voice for vaccines, but it’s the states that make the rules

The Self-Own Is Strong With This One!

A drag performer in Idaho won more than $1.1 million in damages on Friday in a defamation lawsuit against a blogger who falsely claimed that he had exposed himself to a crowd that included children at an event two years ago.

The jury unanimously decided that the blogger, Summer

The entire Trump phenomenon uses a Russian propaganda technique known as “the firehose of falsehoods”. It’s the use of repetitive lies propagated by “influencers”. They were talking about it this morning on one of the shows. Sorry I forget who. They said it’s to confuse people

Congratulations to Donald J. Trump for getting 6 out of 800+ votes, after begging the Libertarian National Convention to nominate him

Ron Filipkowski That's the clarity, understanding, and attention to detail that you want in a Commander in Chief...
