Jay Bhattacharya is a reflexive contrarian who suffers from an extreme case of Galileo complex. Dissent is great. Jay doesn’t want dissent, though. He wants vindication for incorrect opinions. When his work was rebutted by peers, he cried censorship. - ThreadSky

If only there existed some mechanism whereby scientists could publish their work for review by their peers such that the entire scientific community could arrive at a consensus...Nah, that'd be crazy.

You hear many hail modern medicine..."look at the strides they've made in medicine". You know why much of that happens? Because of NIH. I swear, Trump, Vance, Musk, billionaires and the GOP just want us all to die off. More for them, know what I mean?

He is a catastrophically terrible nominee who will never get over being obviously wrong for obvious reasons writing papers about obviously bogus studies.

There's a reason his views were criticized by every actual thinking scientist, they were unscientific.

I don't know what racism has to do with it.

Great another crap pick to add to batshit Bobby and the other quacks. Measles rampant, tb on the rise, h5n1 rampant and 1 mutation away from human to human spread and Covid still out there. You’re sacrificing life and health including kids! @senategop.bsky.social

Dissent from competent science to be replaced by junk science. Sounds about right for Jay, a failed researcher who will "get back" at all the brilliant scientists at NIH, who will always be smarter and vastly more respected that Jay will ever be. Stanford should be ashamed.

As a former fed and nurse at the NIH, this makes be nauseous, furious, and dreading what happens next.

Professor J Bhattacharya has no biomedical clinical or research expertise, work experience off the Stanford campus, no managerial expertise, and no policy achievements. His economics interests are eclectic.

You’re dead-on correct, Renee.

It’ll be fascinating to see if he tries to re-write scientific reports like Trump’s last dude did during Covid, in order to make the PR better for Donald — accurate patient communication be damned.

This is why RFK said he was going to open up data - poor interpretations of mountains of data are easy and lucrative when trying to part fools from their money. Imagine a world where Joe Rogan has access to every number from every research paper in the American health sphere.
