Trust can be a fragile thing. The lack of objectivity in the Covid vaccine saga by the NIH has been troublesome given the many Substack writers covering the topic. I no longer trust the NIH and see the Congressional committee for NIH oversight has done little. I suspect pervasive pHarma money is a factor.

Should Trump become President, I have hopes he will bring in RFK. Jr in some role. I hope Trump expands the production of munitions as a way to dissuade Russia in Ukraine.

There is a bigger picture. I read about it, keeping it in the back of my mind as I tend to the small tasks involved in raising kids. First is Niall Ferguson - long interview

Second is a sweeping piece on Substack. Interesting reading, but too global for me to allow myself to be pulled in. I'll watch

I have a distinct memory of President Trump touting the benefits of UV radiation in treating infections. And the resultant mockery. 'The Science' isn't about science.

As an afterthought, the doctor mentioned another medical innovation that has been suppressed by the medical powers that be. A cure for insomnia

Dr. Tasuku Honjo, who discovered PD-1 and PD-L1 and developed Nivolumab (sold under the brand name Opdivo), recently wrote his autobiography in a newspaper. He wrote that he entered medical school, but felt that there was a huge amount of things to remember to become a clinical doctor, and that the education was the same as in vocational school, so he aimed for a research career. Mr. Seibert probably has a lot of thinking ability from his mathematics studies, but the majority of general internal medicine clinical doctors have not been trained in thinking ability.

Relying on memory ≒ relying on what others say.

I think Dr. Midwest is a doctor who does his own research and thinks carefully.

My relative, an internal medicine doctor, probably relyed on what the public health authorities said and had already received pseudo-mRNA twice before I warned him.

Pity they don't have an English site. Options are great things to have.
