Thoughts on the defunding of disease cure research, origin of COVID, the executive order on so-called gain of function research, China’s advances in biotech, the spread of avian flu, and why the US needs to shed this fictional worldview ASAP for health and national security.

I wrote about how @BrianHookerPhD thinks getting infected with a virus that permanently disables or kills children & exposing other people to it without their knowledge or consent is superior to preventing infection altogether with a safe & effective vaccine. Short thread 👇

MAHA is winning.
I saw it firsthand at the #Lindau2025 Nobel Laureates meeting--international young scientists welcomed and recruited in Germany and elsewhere. Some of the very best are leaving, and many of the best will no longer come. wsj.com/politics/polic…
