Language is included to delay the president's move to put political appointees in charge of grant approval." The graphic reads: "WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY DELAYED VOUGHT'S OMB GRANT PROPOSAL"

Today is the first Tuesday of the month, my (self-imposed) blog posting day -- I wrote about accusations of coverup and conspiracies, thrown without any evidence, in the context of the recent release of private documents by Rand Paul #covidorigin

Let’s unpack this post by NIH and CDC Director and self-made victim Jay Bhattacharya. 1. This was not misreporting. This is what RFK Jr. said in his interview. 2. Free speech was not “suspended”. If it had been no one would know who Bhattacharya is.
