“To his supporters, Bhattacharya’s supposed status as a victim of government censorship is the key element of his hero’s journey. And it’s simply not true.” I very much regret listening to Stanford when it told me I shouldn’t respond to Jay’s lies ab our work. They were wrong & I knew it then too.

In episode five of #WolfHall: The Mirror and the Light, the incomparable Abraham tapestries in Hampton Court’s majestic Great Hall have been meticulously recoloured to show their original vibrancy. The result is stunning—so much kudos to the brilliant art department.

This is what I was getting at when I told the Times that that there was no common ground between RFK Jr. and drug researchers. He is openly hostile to a scientific worldview and contemptuous of the work we do.
