Prof Gavin Yamey @gavinyamey.bsky.social If I were a young physician/researcher who wanted to follow in Dr. Fauci's steps, I'd seriously be questioning that career path. This is an effort to dissuade our best and brightest from serving in public health

I’m in our Oversight Committee with Dr. Fauci testifying. As someone that lost two parents to the COVID pandemic, I will not allow these right-wing extremists to lie and spread dangerous conspiracy theories. We will fight back.

This man dedicated his life to protecting human health. Those attacking him have done nothing but promote themselves.
This is a dark day.
If the GOP is capable of shame, they should be feeling it in their marrow today.

'The recent concern that marked weight loss induced by GLP-1–based anti-obesity medications can cause physical frailty or sarcopenia is not supported by data.'

Then submits evidence free hearsay and conjecture as a counter point

A final reminder - there is still zero evidence that SC2 was derived from a lab that withstands any analytical scrutiny

Basically Alina ignores all the actual zoonotic evidence or says it’s been ‘challenged’

Strictly true - it has been challenged but in all cases those challenges have revealed fatal flaws in their understanding of the data or active misrepesentation of the data.

Many people think that a scientific consensus is a large group of scientists who all agree that something is true.

In reality, it’s a large body of scientific studies that all agree with and support each other. The agreement is a by-product of the consistent evidence.

In our forthcoming book Science Under Siege PublicAffairs Hachette Book Group the climate scientist Prof Michael E. Mann and I have a section on the mainstream media’s troubling absence of judgment/use of false equivalency to undermine American science. We’ll use today’s NYT Op as example

We desperately need proper scientific journalism. The amount of misinformation being spread by journalists who keep misinterpreting scientific data is alarming.

This is certainly *not* a bombshell, but it provides a good way of telling whether someone has any idea how the NIH works with intellectual property (in the quoted tweet, the answer to that question is 'no'.) A short explainer: 🧵1/

In a recent interview with Brian Tyler Cohen , RFK Jr Gish galloped several antivaxxer talking points. BTC was able to debunk a lot of his bollocks, but couldn’t address everything in real time. Cindy and I point out a few more things that RFK Jr got wrong.

When you see pseudoscientific claims from anti-vaxxers like Steve Kirsch and Robert F. Kennedy Jr, their pseudoscience is easy to identify if you examine their claims — they lack repeatability, reliability, and credibility. buff.ly/3R6iCio #vaccineswork

Go look at my c.v. (online version is outdated, but you get the idea), including my refereed journal publications and published books. Then lets talk about who is a genuine domain expert on the relevant topics.
