Dr. Jay can suck a dick, he's an economist, not a physician or health researcher!

Why is an economist NIH head?

The gop is purposely putting incompetent people in positions of power. We need to rely on friendly states and other local jurisdictions, one another, and try to survive. Does the USA still exist?

I wrote two articles about the treatment of post-Covid. I do that with SSRIs. For children I advise N-acetylcysteine together with resveratrol (AHR antagonist, see figure 6 first article). On the first drug 2/3 of the adult patients respond reasonably.

Science, medical research, and collaboration with our countries for positive reasons is out the window regarding this clown show administration.

So how does he feel about smoking induced diseases? About liver cirrhosis?
Is it worse to prevent these too?
How unutterably stupid.

That guy (probably)
“Preventing cirrhosis is worse than getting liver disease. The liquor industry needs you to drink more!”

So messed up. How can Stanford have an MECFS clinic, groundbreaking research by Ron Davis and his team while giving this anti-science inhumanity a platform?

I was appalled when I heard that one of the first thing Levin was doing as the new President was giving remarks at this conference. Maybe you don't have a lot of control over what Hoover does, but you don't have to endorse it.
