Science journalism by Leonid Schneider, on forbetterscience.com Read at your own risk, people got sacked for much less. Posts may contain #antifa and #russophobia 🇺🇦 https://forbetterscience.com/

Aaaaaand retracted almost exactly 1 year later: link.springer.com/article/10.1... Yagüe probably regrets taking that co-authorship now... "The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the soundness of the data reported in this article"

Das hört man als Deutscher doch gern: russen sind unschuldige Opfer von putin, genau wie Deutsche unschuldige Opfer von Hitler waren! In beiden Fällen gibt man den Ukrainern die Schuld.

Wer das Ausmaß der Dysfunktionalität Russlands begreifen will, dem sei das Interview mit der russischen "Oppositionspolitikerin" Julia Galjamina beim @deutschlandfunk.de.web.brid.gy empfohlen. So spricht jemand, der das Putin-Regime ablehnt, und alles, was sie sagt, ist typisch für dieses Milieu.

Niemand leidet in diesem Krieg, pardon, SWO, mehr als die Russen. Guck, was der Sprit jetzt kostet!

Die russische Journalistin Anna Narinskaya beklagt im Feuilleton der @faznet.bsky.social die Schikanen, denen russische Putin-Gegner:innen ausgesetzt sind. Über die Menschen in der Ukraine, die täglichen russischen Bomben, die Toten, Verletzten und Traumatisierten dort, verliert sie kein Wort.

🤬 Odesa was hit overnight. Russians attacked the city with 17 missiles and 90 drones. 6 people were injured. In Kharkiv, Russians killed two people by shooting into an apartment building. So far, 12 people have been injured. There are people trapped in the building.

RFK Jr already told us everything in 2023: He said "I do not believe that infectious disease is an enormous threat to human health." He suggests HIV, COVID, Lyme, RSV, & Spanish flu are all lab leaks. He wants to terminate ID grants & funnel the money to cronies. lymescience.org/files/2023-0...

RFK Jr in 2023:
I do not believe that infectious disease is an enormous threat to human health.

We had a huge death rate from COVID in this country, but almost everybody who died had chronic disease. 

In fact, they had an average—according to CDC—of 3.8 chronic diseases. 

The real threat to American health is not coming from infections, it's coming from chronic disease. And that is what we should target for all of our research.RFK Jr in 2023:

I will end all gain of function research. I will sign a treaty to end gain of function research, you know to get all the nations to end gain of function research. 

It's just a disaster. It's given us no benefits. It's given us everything from Lyme disease to Covid and many, many other diseases. 

That RSV—which is now one of the biggest killers of children—came out of, you know, a vaccine lab, you know, so…. RFK Jr in 2023:

And we can go down the whole list of diseases that, you know, down to… And there's good evidence that even Spanish flu came from vaccine and vaccine research. And, you know, we don't know and we'll probably never know, but there are very, very strong articles suggesting that now. 

The medical research on these diseases and vaccine research has actually created some of the worst plagues in our history. Anybody who reads The River will come away pretty much convinced that HIV also came from a vaccine program.I'm also going to intervene directly with the journals. I'm going to call the journals into the Department of Justice and tell them that we believe that they're involved in racketeering with the pharmaceutical industry to systematically lie to the public through their retractions, through their financial entanglements, which encourage them to publish false information to promote the pharmaceutical products.

But one thing I can directly do that I'm most excited about is I can terminate a lot of the grants to infectious disease and virologists, and I can redirect those grants and just order FDA to stop writing those kind of grants and to instead start writing grants to study chronic disease.

I'm going to pressure the journals to publish great, you know, publish the results of these studies. 

We're going to start funneling studies to a different group of scientists, to people who actually want to see where the chronic disease is going to come from.

RFK jr overrode the NIH recommendation for NIAID Director to appoint his own preferred candidate (who applied, but NIH declined to interview), per @politico.com. Institute directors have final say on funding decisions and are critical to the integrity of NIH. 🧵 www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
