The modern Western political ideologies LIBERALISM, PROGRESSIVISM, and MARXISM should be understood as fundamentalist secularized denominations of Protestant Christianity.

All three descend from the same post-Reformation religious/moral structure: PROTESTANTISM's faith alone became moral agency.

Inner conscience guided by God became secular trust in Reason, Science, or Justice.

Salvation became Progress.

Priesthood of all believers became moral equality.

Without God though, moral worth became performance to others.

In May 2020, CDC analyzed all mask data, finding no benefit.

CDC, entirely Democrats, lied and pushed mandates anyway. It demonized right-wing dissenters as "anti-maskers".

Trust collapsed.

CDC engaged in left-wing political warfare over science.

Why should we trust the CDC? CDC's study showing no evidence for masks:

wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26…

CDC force-masked toddlers during Covid.

Science shows this permanently stunted development. CDC knew there was no good evidence. They knew it would hurt children.

They knew it would cause tremendous damage to America. They did it anyway. Why?

Power.

I explain everything. This is going to be an extremely long thread.

It will explain everything about masks during Covid--both the science and political reasons why our institutions lied to us.

When cloth masks were first recommended and then mandated during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was only one randomized controlled trial studying the use of cloth masks to prevent viral respiratory infections.

It showed a 13-fold increased risk of infection with cloth masks. Cloth masks did not just appear to increase risk compared to surgical masks. They also appeared to increase risk compared to no masks.

March 29, 2021 Rochelle Walensky, Director of CDC, infamously declared on MSNBC:

"Vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick."

Emails obtained by FOIA from Jan 30, 2021 show that Walensky knew this was a lie at the time she said it.

1/12 See for yourself.

Without these lies, unconstitutional vaccine mandates would have been much more difficult to argue in court.

That's why she lied.

Here is a picture of the man resigning from CDC

Here he is wearing BDSM attire with a pentagram, a Satanic symbol, on his chest

He hates Trump and RFK Jr.

These are the kinds of freaks who used to oversee public health in this country

Here are some more pics.

In the one where he is posing with a man dressed as a dog, you can see an inverted pentagram tattooed on his upper chest.

He/him/his former CDC official.

Wall Street Journal has launched another dumb attack--this time at Trump FDA appointee Marty Makary.

This article is filled with wild representations.

I explain in depth below.

I also explain the role of science in medicine and why WSJ Editorial Board is not smart. WSJ is very dumb lately, and I believe that this is for an obvious reason: the people who are writing for it are dumb.

This thread will explain the dumb.

I implore you, dear reader:

As I explain, revel in the dumb. Wonder at it. Laugh at it.

Be not perturbed by the dumb.

If you want to understand why the universities have become stupid, you have to understand that the universities have literally become stupid.

The average undergraduate IQ has fallen by nearly 20 points in 80 years--massive.

This drop has happened at every level of education.
Undergraduates have become much dumber. Graduates have become much dumber. Graduate students have become much dumber. Lawyers have become much dumber. Doctors have become much dumber. PhDs have become much dumber.

And the steady increase in dumbness continues to the present day.

NEW PAPER

21,041 clinical trials were analyzed to determine whether they followed basic principles of experimental design and reporting

These studies are the core scientific pillar informing the care that patients receive

The results are shocking👇 Fewer than 10% of published studies even explained how patients were assigned to each group

Since these are RANDOMIZED controlled trials, this is hard to fathom

There is no information provided about the most important design feature in >90% of trials

New study published in the BMJ

Investigators counted 1330 clinical trials that had been retracted for misconduct or fatal errors

The researchers looked at how these bad studies corrupted healthcare guidelines used to treat patients

Their findings are horrifying

🧵 Each retracted trial on average contaminated 3 systematic reviews, and 3 clinical guidelines

1-in-4 were still included in systematic reviews EVEN AFTER THE RETRACTION NOTICE

157 guidelines used to guide healthcare decisions were corrupted

Tallow or oil?

Seed-oil deep dive for regular folks: facts and fiction.

You’ve heard "industrial seed oils cause inflammation."

Let’s walk through all the evidence in plain English.

What’s solid, what's iffier, and how to use that knowledge in your own kitchen. 🧵👇 Myth

The idea: "Vegetable oils like soybean, canola, sunflower make your body 'inflamed' and hurt your heart."

The reality: When scientists measure inflammation in people, the oil swap usually lowers it or leaves it unchanged.

This isn't just one or two studies or even dozens.

FDA is kicking out all petroleum-based food dyes this year.

Sounds great, until you look at what's replacing them.

Here are five "natural" colors that look more dangerous than the old artificial dyes they're replacing.

Thread 1/9 🧵 2/9 Spirulina Blue vs. Blue #1

NEW COLOR: Spirulina extract (phycocyanin)
> Only 90-day studies; no lifetime cancer or fertility work.
> Nickel, mercury, microcystins found in every retail sample screened
> 41% were over WHO limits for consumption for microcystins.

BANNED COLOR: Brilliant Blue FCF (Blue #1)
> 50 yrs of clean rodent & human data.

Why banned? FDA wanted a "zero-petroleum" rule for optics and simplicity, NOT because Blue #1 failed a safety test.

This is anti-science and harmful. Here's why:

1. N95s fail in clinical trials to meaningfully reduce respiratory viral infections.
2. N95's seal is easily broken. They are not effective over long periods.
3. According to CDC, N95s are harmful if worn over long periods.

From Cochrane Collaboration, the world's most respected authority on systematic reviews and meta-analyses:

No benefit of surgical masks vs no masks, and no benefit of N95s vs surgical masks in any population studied in clinical trials

Doctors often claim that measles is making a comeback because of "antivaxers".

So I plotted measles cases as a ten-year rolling average using CDC data.

And I found that measles is actually not making a comeback.

These "doctors" and "experts" are simply lying to everyone. It's true that there have always been sporadic outbreaks.

And after the "golden period" of about 5 years in the 2000s when there were only about 80 cases per year, we're up to about 240 cases per year now.

A thread breaking down the recent @sciam hit piece and revisionist history by University of Pittsburgh public health professor Steven Albert on @DrJBhattacharya 🧵 The article is so devoid of substance that it does not deserve serious consideration.

However, people do read these articles, so I want to clarify what is being done--and not done--in this piece.

I will do so analytically, not resorting to smears or misrepresentations.

The @nytimes's @fstonenyc has responded to our letter of the editor about @zeynep's recent op-ed about @DrJBhattacharya's NIH Director nomination.

Let's break it down.

Word for word.

A🧵. Instructing @zeynep and @fstonenyc how to read basic sentences in the English language.

@MartinKulldorff @Bryce_Nickels @anish_koka @fstonenyc opens his response by claiming that, in fact:

"The March 24, 2020 essay in the Wall Street Journal, co-written by Dr. Bhattacharya, never describes 2 million as the high range of potential death estimates."

"Journalist" @zeynep is at it again.

This time, she is twisting @DrJBhattacharya's words in a malignant op-ed published in the @nytimes.

Let's break this article down word by word.

Thread.🧵

https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1861828779728896104

She starts by claiming:

"In the early days of the pandemic, Bhattacharya repeatedly predicted that the virus would likely kill about 20,000 to 40,000 Americans. (The death toll turned out to be about 1.2 million.)"

She provides three references.

I will parse them one-by-one.

In May 2021, Fauci claimed on MSNBC that the COVID-19 vaccine stopped transmission:

"When the virus gets to you, you stop it."

Yet data at the time showed antibody levels were rapidly falling. His story would soon unravel.

Fauci knew this. Why did he hide the truth? The story of rapidly falling antibodies is a fascinating one.

This NEJM study from December 3, 2020, published by scientists at Fauci's own NIAID, claims that antibody levels are "durable".

Yet it presented these levels on a logarithmic scale.

nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NE…

In his latest Kamala campaign speech, Obama implies that if Trump followed his pandemic playbook, implementing stricter measures, deaths would have been the same as Canada, with 400,000 fewer.

Obama is lying to score political points.👇

To be clear, Obama's claims are impossible.

Obama's 2016 pandemic playbook did not specify what measures should be used against a pathogen like SARS-CoV-2, or indeed, against any pathogen.

It provides no guidance as to what specific mitigation decisions should be made.
