Remember the old days, when we didn't even know the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) existed, and then suddenly its director, Anthony Fauci, was ruining everyone's lives?
Well, there's no going back to those days of innocence and naivete, I'm sorry to say, so I'm keeping informed about personnel changes there.
The new NIAID director is Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, who is currently director of the University of Alabama School of Medicine Division of Infectious Diseases.
You won't be surprised to learn that Marrazzo favored lockdowns, masks ("'the only way to keep kids in school and keep them safe," though she had no comment on Sweden's refusal to mask its 1.8 million schoolchildren, not one of whom died of Covid), and vaccine mandates.
Asked for comment about Marrazzo's appointment, Fauci said he was pleased but warned of the difficult road ahead because of uppity peons like you and me who don't know that our place is to shut up and let the alleged experts do useless, bizarre, and evil things with no basis in evidence while calling it all "science":
"She’s going to be dealing with, you know, unfortunately, as we’ve seen over the last few years, a very divisive political setting, where there’s been an unfortunate politicization of some of the science.
"She may get challenged with, you know, attacks on her decisions, but she just needs to realize that she’s got to do the best she can always, always, always letting her North Star being science, evidence and integrity and honesty. When she does that, she’ll be fine."
Can you imagine a world in which the NIAID director is guided by "science, evidence and integrity and honesty"?
Meanwhile, Mandy Cohen, the new CDC director, just tweeted a picture of herself about to be interviewed by NPR.
The woman is bold. NPR! Imagine all the confrontation she'll face there!
How about having the guts to go out and confront some of the informed critics of what her agency has been up to over the past several years? If she really wants to restore confidence in public health, as she has said, that's the only way to do it.
When we learn of appointments like this, it's natural to become demoralized. It is absolutely beyond dispute that our side is in the right on the "public health" decisions of the past few years, and yet people who defended those decisions continue to be elevated to positions of leadership. That's corruption and wickedness on an unimaginable scale.
Now what would I have done about this situation in the past?
I would have thought: I'll run to my blog and post something! That'll show 'em!
Nothing wrong with posting to your blog, dear reader.
But I've reached a point in my life at which I'd prefer to do something rather than sit back and react to things being done to me.
Now I do know my limitations. I can't possibly fix the U.S. medical establishment. After all, Richard Smith, former editor of the British Medical Journal (better known as the BMJ), once insisted that the problem of medical research fraud wasn't one of "bad apples" but rather of "bad barrels" or indeed of "rotten forests or orchards."
He went on:
"Stephen Lock, my predecessor as editor of The BMJ, became worried about research fraud in the 1980s, but people thought his concerns eccentric. Research authorities insisted that fraud was rare, didn’t matter because science was self-correcting, and that no patients had suffered because of scientific fraud.
"All those reasons for not taking research fraud seriously have proved to be false, and, 40 years on from Lock’s concerns, we are realizing that the problem is huge, the system encourages fraud, and we have no adequate way to respond. It may be time to move from assuming that research has been honestly conducted and reported to assuming it to be untrustworthy until there is some evidence to the contrary."
There's no fixing that.
There's no fixing so much of what's wrong in America.
Instead, we figure out how to navigate around it, and/or build something better.

The Cubic lattice appears to be the universal Paternal constant of mathematical construction of Maternal mass,
matter and ultimately, form.
"The Cube of Space is an occult concept that was invented by the prominent occultist Paul
Foster Case. The Cube of Space associates the three axes of the cube, the center point of the
cube, the six sides of the cube, and the twelve edges of the cube, with the 22 letters of the
hebrew alphabet. The Cube of Space is based upon two verses in the proto-kabbala text called the Sepher Yetzirah.

Today, we're diving deep into the findings of the Select Committee on the Coronavirus Pandemic report, a moderately comprehensive document that sheds light on the origins, missteps, and long-term implications of the pandemic response. While we find much to discuss—and critique—within its pages, this report is another crucial entry into the growing library of work highlighting the urgent need for accountability and reform.
Together, we'll explore its insights and use them to advocate for a future where overreach, mismanagement, and infringements on our fundamental rights are not tolerated. This conversation is vital to ensuring that the lessons of the past guide us toward a more just and resilient tomorrow.

No matter how bad you think Covid policies were, they were intended to be worse.
Consider the vaccine passports alone. Six cities were locked down to include only the vaccinated in public indoor places. They were New York City, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and Seattle. The plan was to enforce this with a vaccine passport. It broke. Once the news leaked that the shot didn’t stop infection or transmission, the planners lost public support and the scheme collapsed.
It was undoubtedly planned to be permanent and nationwide if not worldwide. Instead, the scheme had to be dialed back.
Features of the CDC’s edicts did incredible damage. It imposed the rent moratorium. It decreed the ridiculous “six feet of distance” and mask mandates. It forced Plexiglas as the interface for commercial transactions. It implied that mail-in balloting must be the norm, which probably flipped the election. It delayed the reopening as long as possible. It was sadistic.
Even with all that, worse was planned. On July 26, 2020, with the ...
Congressmen Scalise and Comer, Members of the Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, Ladies and Gentlemen.
My name is Steven Quay and I am honored to speak at this forum. I am a physician-scientist with over 360 publications on a wide range of topics in science and medicine. I have 87 issued patents in 22 different fields of medicine, including the chemistry of RNA drugs like the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. I have invented seven FDA-approved medicines that have been used by millions of people worldwide.

I appreciate the non-partisan approach the Subcommittee is taking today. Clearly, science in the last few years, but especially on topics related to the COVID pandemic, has been coopted by geopolitics. Thus, I am here, not as a mouthpiece for any political party, but as an American scientist.
I dedicate my testimony today to the more ...
