Jeremy Faust wurde die von #Bhattacharya blockierte Studie zur Wirksamkeit der #Impfung gegen #COVID19 zugespielt. Er hat sie nun veröffentlicht.
Es ist keine weltbewegende Arbeit, nur ein Hinweis, dass die Impfungen im Herbst 2025 wirksam waren. So wie die Herbstimpfungen 2024, 2023 und 2022. Die 2025er Impfung reduzierte das Risiko eines schweren Verlaufs um die Hälfte.
Das war Grund genug für den CDC-Direktor Bhattacharya, die Publikation zu verhindern.

Study finds that COVID #vaccines reduce emergency and hospital visits by 50 to 55% among healthy adults.
#CDC 's #Bhattacharya blocks report.
Same guy remains silent on #RFKJR claim that correlations and retracted (fraudulent) studies prove vaccines link to autism.

"Though he never showed sympathy for #COVID’s victims, he produced an overwhelming amount of self-pitying material, bemoaning the fate of his #SocialMedia content. He even took [his] case to the #SupremeCourt [but] lost."
...GUESS WHO SILENCED the study proving (again) that COVID #vaccines work? Same guy.

In June, two suits filed against the Trump administration in federal court in Boston led to more than 2,000 #terminated #NIH #grants having their funding restored.
And just this week, an agreement with the plaintiffs to reconsider #DEI-related research applications led to the funding of more than a hundred grants whose reviews had been paused.
But in comments made on a podcast posted Wednesday, NIH Director #Jay #Bhattacharya indicated the reprieve will be short-lived for the grants restored in June
They could be terminated over the next year.

2,500 Commentators Agree: Dr. Jay Bhattacharya Has Failed to Earn the Public’s Trust | Science-Based Medicine https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/nobodytrustsjay/
“While other doctors worked in hospitals, Dr. #Bhattacharya made videos that treated rare, mild vaccine side effects as a fate worse than death. Today, he using his own efforts to demolish trust as justification for destroying an entire field of lifesaving, Nobel Prize winning research.”

Jay #Bhattacharya moves from disparity researcher to DEI enforcer | STAT https://www.statnews.com/2025/08/01/nih-director-jay-bhattacharya-shifting-dei-record/ “Despite his avowed support for vulnerable people, Bhattacharya’s tenure has seen such science swept up in the Trump administration’s attack on DEI. Grants for #healthdisparities research have been terminated left and right, sometimes affecting the very topics he’s said are worth studying. When confronted, he claimed, incorrectly, that such cuts hadn’t happened.” Power corrupts.

The many doctors who are just now realizing that misinformation wasn't
"COVID hysteria nonsense"
have a lot of catching up to do to understand how the forces they've legitimized led to this moment.When he’s not busy spreading Orwellian doublespeak, saying less money is more money,
Dr. Vinay Prasad is busy celebrating cuts to researchers,
as well as mass purges of scientists and the ascension of RFK Jr.Dr. #Prasad, along with his friends and ideological compatriots
Drs. Jay #Bhattacharya and Marty #Makary, are now the embodiment of the medical establishment,
and their vision is being realized.They wanted RFK Jr. to “disrupt the US medical establishment”
and that’s what he’s doing.Anyone who either legitimized these doctors or defended them by baselessly smearing their critics contributed to this moment.

Realistically, few people are going to read a 900-page group work of neofeudalist fanfic shit out by the most esoteric Fedsoc weirdos the world has ever seen.
But one person who did read Project 2025 was the leftist historian Rick Perlstein, who was the first person to really dig into what a fucking messthat thing is:
https://pluralistic.net/2024/07/14/fracture-lines/#disassembly-manual
Perlstein's excellent analysis doesn't claim that Project 2025's authors aren't sincere in their intentions to wreak great harm upon the nation and its people;
rather, his point is that Project 2025 is filled with contradictory, mutually exclusive proposals written by people who fundamentally disagree with one another,
and who each have enough power within the Trump coalition that all of their proposals have to be included in a document like this:
https://prospect.org/politics/2024-07-10-project-2025-republican-presidencies-tradition/
Project 2025 isn't just a guide to the masturbatory fantasies of the worst people in American politics
– far more importantly, it is a detailed map of the fracture lines in the GOP coalition, the places where it is liable to split and shatter.
🔥This is an important point if you want to do more about Trumpism than run around feeling miserable and scared.
If you want to fight, Project 2025 is a guide to the weak spots where an attack will do the most damage.
Perlstein's insight continues to be borne out as the Trump regime makes ready to take power.
In a new story for KFF News, Stephanie Armour and Julie Rovner describe the irreconcilable differences among Trump's picks for the country's top public health authorities:
https://kffhealthnews.org/news/article/trump-rfk-kennedy-health-hhs-fda-cdc-vaccines-covid-weldon/
The brain-worm-infected-elephant in the room is, of course, RFK Jr, who has been announced as Trump's head of Health and Human Services.
RFK Jr is a notorious antivaxer, chairman of Children’s Health Defense, a notorious anti-vaccine group.
Kennedy's view is shared by Trump's chosen CDC boss, Dave Weldon, a physician who has repeated the dangerous lie that vaccinations cause autism.
Mehmet "Dr Oz" Oz, the TV "physician" Trump wants to put in charge of Medicare/Medicaid, calls vaccines "oversold" and advocates for treating covid with hydroxychloroquine, another thoroughly debunked hoax:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2024/12/17/hydroxychloroquine-study-covid-19-retracted-trump/77051671007/
However, other top Trump public health picks emphatically support vaccines.
#Marty #Makary is Trump's choice for FDA commissioner;
he's a Johns Hopkins trained surgeon who says vaccines "save lives" (but he peddles the lethal, unscientific hoax that childhood vaccines should be "spread out").
#Jay #Bhattacharya, the economist/MD whom Trump wants to put in charge of the NIH, supports vaccines
(he is also one of the country's leading proponents of the eugenicist idea of accepting the mass death of elderly, sick and disabled people rather than imposing quarantines during epidemics).
Then there's #Janette #Nesheiwat, whom Trump has asked to serve as the nation's surgeon general; she calls vaccines "a gift from God."Like "Bidenism," Trumpism is a fragile coalition of people who thoroughly and irreconcilably disagree with one another.
During the Biden administration, this resulted in self-inflicted injuries like appointing the brilliant trustbuster Lina Khan to run the FTC,
but also appointing the pro-monopoly corporate lawyer Jacqueline Scott Corley to a lifetime seat as a federal judge,
from which perch she ruled against Khan's no-brainer suit to block the Microsoft-Activision merger:
https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/judge-rules-for-microsoft-mergers
The Trump coalition is even broader than the Biden coalition.
That's how he won the 2024 election.
But that also means that Trumpism is more fractious and off-balance, and hence will be easier to disrupt,
because it is riven by people in senior positions who hate one another and are actively working for each others' political demise. -
