I wrote about the GOP-led House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, which appears to be following a "road map" from the Heritage Foundation behind Project 2025.

He's also a member of the kid-focused rebranding of the Great Barrington Declaration, the Urgency of Normal, and has argued exhaustively for mask RCTs during the pandemic. He's absolutely addicted to attention and it's dangerous.
This is not an isolated incident. Anti-vax tech millionaire Steve Kirsch stalked a doctor on the ACIP outside of her home for his conspiracy film "Died Suddenly".
Next time the owner of this platform throws some red meat to his weird followers in the form of tired Covid conspiracies, please remind him how consistently wrong he's been:

Anti-science is part of the larger anti-truth of Bannon's fascism and it is incredibly dangerous.

The US has been a major source of politicized vaccine misinformation. The effects reverberate worldwide.
My latest for

on how RFK Jr.'s anti-vax crusade was brought into the MAGA fold thanks to his work with the far-right hydroxychloroquine-for-Covid crew.

"If you are a weatherperson, you’re a target. The same goes for journalists, election workers, scientists, doctors, and first responders. These jobs are different, but the thing they share is that they all must attend to and describe the world as it is."
I wrote today's
@ScienceBasedMed
article on the political weaponization of the lab leak theory that has been the focus of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic and a recent New York Times opinion piece on the eve of Dr. Fauci's hearing.
Today's article is my third on the manufactured resurgence of the COVID-19 lab leak origin narrative that's been pushed by the GOP House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic and the Heritage Foundation recently.
And now, Bhattacharya.
Furthermore, this past January Rogan and Bret Weinstein used his Spotify platform to target a physician over a fake vaccine tweet leading to a tidal wave of harassment against her.
How many more people have to suffer for Rogan's ego?
This does not end with COVID. The anti-science aggression fostered by pandemic disinformation has far reaching consequences on society, policy (abortion, climate change, human rights, etc.), and democracy itself. We must stand up for truth.
@PeterHotez
AFLDS sent a private investigator and a camera crew to ambush California Medical Board president at her office and used that footage to depict her as a Nazi.
For those offended by my colorful language and not the needless deaths of 100,000s of Americans or Trump's actions/rhetoric, self reflect. Stop telling me to be more "ladylike". I was; it didn't get me anywhere.
We are proudly pro-science, pro-swearing over here.

I guess I find it a little strange that a hit piece would include the fact that I volunteered with kids in med school. Like, wow, what a bitch!
And then an organization called Children's Health Defense would pick up this hit piece. Makes you wonder who is for the kids, huh?
Remember when Rogan called Trump "fucking dangerous" because he "can incite a bunch of morons to do something really fucking stupid" and said it was “really important” investigate January 6th?
Great Barrington Declaration author Jay Bhattacharya organized a much-criticized contrarian conference at Stanford which was funded in part by Collateral Global, a UK "charity" he is involved in.
Now he and fellow CG member have written about said conference in UK media...
Thank you to
@antonioguterres
for calling out the devastating impact of disinformation during the pandemic in this month's Information Integrity policy brief. We must learn from the tragedy of the global COVID infodemic.
#MisinformationKills
This House subcommittee, which just hosted/smeared Dr. Fauci and Dr. Daszak who both testified about terrifying abuse they and their families have received due to baseless accusations, here acts like a Twitter troll against
@PeterHotez
who has had a stalker show up at his home.
With the calls for death threats being lobbed at doctors who advocate for vaccines getting renewed attention in light of the dog pile on Dr. Hotez, it is worth noting that a doctor has been killed over advocacy for healthcare issues made political:
Following my reporting Paul learned that sometimes words sound similar but are different. He's also learned the difference between Wisconsin and Michigan and how time zones work. He's a work in progress.
"MAHA" has nothing to do with chronic disease prevention and environmental toxins and everything to do with tearing down our institutions, which is in alignment with the broader Project 2025 plan for a 2nd Trump presidency.
Today is the two year anniversary of my physician mother's death from liver and kidney failure due to alcohol use disorder. She died in the hospital of the medical school we share as an alma mater a year and a half after I graduated.
