Bad headline. I know there was an attempt to convey truth with scare quotes, but in the end it's still a lie that gets repeated in the headline.

Please watch and rewatch this movie, in the U.S. Archives from the @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker a reminder of how the Nazis conned their country into becoming the cause of mass murder and all the other horrors that Nazis unleash. The lessons are true for the USA🇺🇸 , in 2025 https://youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4

"People say if you inject 💉 bleach, you know, you can kill Covid. You know, clean it out." Insane speculation, from insane people. Damn right it's dangerous.

When the NIH director does not believe that some statements are true and some statements are false, does that mean we stop putting hypotheses in our grant proposals?

Disruption and desctruction is what helps them, that's why it's easy, if good people don't stop them.

I feel so sad about this. Especially NIH is the organization other countries envy of because NIH makes US the bio science powerhouse. It funds researches and funds to educate researchers. In return, our nation’s future is secured in many ways. I am mourning for another destruction of our institution
