I've identified the Fauci aide who refused to answer @RandPaul questions, as Patricia "Patty" Conrad. Hard to understand how she affords her lawyer, Josh Levy, a former advisor to Chuck Schumer, who teaches at Georgetown, where Fauci also has an appointment. Agency contacts describe Patty as a "sweet secretary" but why is she pleading the 5th? disinformationchronicle.subs…

Not surprising.
After being bounced out of her job as President of Harvard for plagiarism and basically having no substantive academic publishing record, Harvard paid Claudine Gay $1.5 million--17 times the median income for a family in America. Cut these people's federal funding off!

Replying to @WashPostComms
@WashPostComms This is seriously not ok.
The Washington Post is now ignoring FDA approvals for vaccines to promote the vaccine recommendations of Big Pharm-funded American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). And the Post fails to disclose AAP's pharma ties. How is this journalism?

Russ Vought has made the President look silly by overreaching for control of the NIH. Vought is also holding up multiple MAHA policies which voters support. When does Trump put Russ Vought in a box to control his extreme behavior? semafor.com/article/09/23/20…

“On behalf of Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, we appreciate the President’s consideration and his action this morning on Dr. Fauci’s behalf,” reads the letter [Fauci attorney] David Schertler sent to Edward Siskel, Biden’s top legal advisor. “Dr. Fauci accepts the President's pardon.” '60 Minutes' Airs Misleading Report on Trump Pardons realclearinvestigations.com/…

When do we find out she's sleeping with him? When does that story break?
Kimberly Guilfoyle has puzzled government officials across the region with her extensive efforts to involve Christos Marafatsos, a 39-year-old former produce seller turned Greeks for Trump chairman. Marafatsos has attended so many of her meetings that some foreign officials mistook him for her chief of staff. Instead, he’s a top lobbyist for a company she’s been promoting—a fact he often doesn’t disclose, including in meetings with government officials. wsj.com/articles/kimberly-gu…

The White House appears to be taking note that Russ Vought is giving President Trump terrible advice. Senators announced that Vought's EO to control the NIH has been tabled, and the AP reports that none of the recissions involved NIH grants. Vought is a dangerous ideologue.

🇮🇹🇺🇸 This man just wanted his espresso in peace, and instead he got a full sermon from Rabbi Shmuley Boteach Shmuley caught him saying "Free Palestine" outside a synagogue in Italy and let him have it on camera, calling him a Jew hater. It seems like Shmuley can't go anywhere without a spectacle following him around. Writer: Lucas, Daniel

Several dozen Senators send Russ Vought a letter demanding that he cease attempts to politicise the NIH. The White House appears to be backtracking. This is the danger of handing ideologues power, those like Vought can make you look silly and feckless.

The most MIS-USED stat ever! The reef is more UNHEALTHY than ever! 😡 After bleaching, certain species of corals grow back faster (usually Acropora spp.), whilst other species completely die off after repeated events. The same way forest ecosystems become more homogeneous after constant fire - some species of grasses and trees can tolerate it and smother the forest. With coral reefs, SO many coral species are disappearing and heaps of fish/invertebrates that rely on those species are also disappearing. It is SO frustrating how climate-change deniers think these ecosystems are so basic, AHHHHH! 😤
JUST IN: The Great Barrier Reef has recorded its 5 highest years of coral cover in the 40-year history of monitoring, all occurring since 2021.

Russ Vought once again playing the menace, OMB blocking the release of a definition for ultra-processed foods. This is one of many MAHA initiatives being held up by Russ Vought at OMB. President Trump needs to sideline this guy.

New York Times reporter Jonathan Swan just got a stunning reality check from both Bill Maher and author James Kirchick. Swan was spiraling over President Trump barring CNN and MS NOW from the White House, until Kirchick reminded him of some of the Obama-era media scandals. KIRCHICK: “During the Obama administration they tapped the AP bureau’s phones and the phones of AP bureau reporters. They tapped their phones!” Maher backed up some of the claims and seconded Kirchick’s point about the Obama administration. MAHER: “I looked this up about freezing out one…they did it with Fox News. Josh Earnest, he was in the Obama administration. He admitted it.” “The White House has demonstrated our willingness to exclude Fox News from news making interviews…” “This is exactly what…you know, this is what I say about this country. Everybody’s like this is the worst thing in the world except when we do it.” “And then it’s always perfectly okay.” Maher nailed the hypocrisy in one sentence. Well done.

Fear of vaccine hesitancy fuels much of the propaganda from the public health community. With the autism crisis and the COVID-19 vaccine debacle, hesitancy can expect to sharply rise for decades into the future. Courtesy Dr Claudia Chaufan.
