Tenure is the elephant in his room. Now he needs to be pressed on that statement. How safe? How effective? Based on?

he said as much on Joe Rogan. he talks about all he knows about the corruption of pharma companies but then says that he's certain the vaccines are good. we've all been told for so long that vaccines are the greatest public health success in medical history that it can be hard to let that go

About six months ago I read a book called Bad Pharma by Ben Goldacre. Even though I already understood the perverse incentives of the pharma industry, it still shocked me. Given the content, I was surprised Goldacre was not one of the main voices in the heroic group of dissenters. When I typed his name into a search engine, all I found was a twitter-handle, Ben-Get-Vaccinated-Goldacre. I looked no further. Deeply disappointing that people who Really should know better have been fooled by what was, to me - a nobody - such an obvious propaganda lie. I heard Abramson speak with Lex Fridman and would have assumed he would know better. Was he fooled or bought? I suppose makes no difference.

NIH-funded Institutions require their professors/employees to march in lock step. Twenty times higher rate of death among the unvaccinated? Would that be from Covid or Remdesivir? Drs. Atlas, Kuldorff, Bhattacharya, and Ioannides would beg to differ, I think. Even Abramson laments the withholding of data, so how can he be so sure of the (apparently singular?) paper he relies upon? 🤔

“The first step is to give up the illusion that the primary purpose of modern medical research is to improve Americans’ health most effectively and efficiently. In our opinion, the primary purpose of commercially funded clinical research is to maximize financial return on investment, not health.” —John Abramson, M.D., Harvard Medical School

RFK Jr quoted Abramson to start his book “The real Anthony Fauci”. I thought he was a real deal with integrity. This is difficult to swallow.

Obviously he's another doctor who has drank the Koolaid! He's on the take from Big Pharma just like so many others. Has he not read any of the science and medical studies??? I've downloaded close to 100 science and medical studies and reports -- and I'm just a journalist!! Not a doctor!!

Tell us who is behind someone's pay check and I'll share with you what that person is prepared to say, or not say.

The term "controlled opposition" gets thrown out a lot and I generally prefer to ignore it, but that sure is what this guy seems to be. He's a gatekeeper and controlled opposition, or he is really as stupid, ignorant and ill-informed as he seems to be. It's hard to know which, because I've discovered that a lot of academics and "experts" are amazingly ignorant and ill-informed about the things they pontificate about. Another nail in the coffin of any thinking person's respect for credentials.

He's a major writer, looking forward to going through his book.

He has solutions to how the US has the worst healthcare in the developed world, absolutely rock bottom with all the sellouts.

Joe Rogan however is a lousy interviewer. A total Philistine, a trash talking, limited vocabulary schlub, a whore, a bald "smart" idiot with a smarmy manner who sells himself to whomever will shell out the $$$!

There are few good interviewers out there.

I guess he is trying to sell book. So he appears to appeal to both sides......all to make a buck!!! Sickening. Here so many of us are very, seriously I'll from this stupid shots. Unable to work. Somedays, most days not able to walk! Cannot afford medical treatments because insurance companies aren't allowed to cover medicines and treatments we need! Our families suffer along with us as our income has been cut by more than half.

We are now at the point where this fence sitting of “experts” is going to have to stop. I saw a recent interview with David Martin and according to him, as of July 5, things are going to really start happening legally and no one is going to be able to give the excuse “Well I just didn’t know”.
