  • Throw away years of hard work and millions of dollars. Ending a $5 million research study when it is 80% complete does not save $1 million, it wastes $4 million.

    Shirk commitments to participants, who braved personal risk to give the incredible gift of biological samples, understanding that their generosity would fuel scientific discovery and improve health.

    Risk participant health. NIH trials are being halted without regard to participant safety, abruptly stopping medications or leaving participants with unmonitored device implants.

    Damage hard-earned public trust, counter to your stated goal to improve trust in NIH.

    Goodness, the consequences are horrible.

    OP, thank you for posting this.





  • Lordy, this is good:

    On Monday night, Stewart skewered Leavitt, saying, “By the way, I think that the more she lies, the bigger her cross gets. Is that possible? It’s like some sort of weird Pinocchio cross.”

    But this requires a desperate call to the local burn unit:

    The host also noted that Leavitt is likely to be “the only one” who will be able to leave the administration “unscathed … Because I don’t think that she has any principles in there left to die.”

    I don’t know much about this person, but my attention has been drawn. And I shamefully admit, I’ll be looking to hear of the size of a crucifix she might choose to wear on any given day.

    Choose one too small, and one might question her lack of faith. If missing altogether, it could be interpreted as blasphemy.









  • The title stating the obvious concerning the felon not being informed is weird, but the article is a worthwhile read:

    Some of the trucks were parked in Siberia, thousands of miles away from Ukraine, according to the report.

    About 40 Russian military planes, including strategic bombers, were reportedly struck in the attack.

    I cannot begin to imagine what a blow this is to Russia’s crumbling air force. And the ingenuity of the attack (some of whose details are omitted in this article - though you may have read more about it in others) is phenomenal.

    And don’t forget this little tidbit - also a developing story:

    Ukraine’s unprecedented drone attack on Russia comes as seven people were killed and 69 more injured after bridges collapsed in separate incidents across Russia.

    I imagine the pending defenestrations of some Russian officials might be kept secret.
