The Media Beast Targets the Reform
[Malone News] The National Institutes of Health emerged from the Covid era as among the most disreputable of all the agencies, a partner with the CDC. It was the home of Anthony Fauci, plus his wife, who was in charge of ethics.Pausing for derisive laughter... Moving on, the agency has a $47 billion budget and shared patents with Pharma companies that themselves are on the rocks due to grim results of countless drugs, among them the magic Covid shot that proved ineffective and dangerous. There is poetry in how the scholar called a "fringe epidemiologist" by the previous agency heads is now in charge. His name is Jayanta Bhattacharya, previously a quietly productive professor at Stanford University with specializations in medical services and economics. He joined the ranks of the dissidents of lockdowns, masks, and vaccine mandates, and was smeared the world over for it. Fast forward five years and he is now charged with fixing up the agency that smeared him, and restoring trust. His actions in the first weeks and months have been an inspiration. He has been transparent, scrupulous, principled, and unbelievably hard-working. Yes, he has canceled contracts (among with routine torture of animals) and been part of reductions in employment (consistent with normal budgetary concerns). By way of background, please understand that career civil servants have long been socialized with a habit backed by plenty of evidence. That habit is to ignore all political appointees. They are temporary, but the staff, which possess all institutional knowledge, persists over many elections. That’s the presumption because that’s how it has always been.
