This whole exercise stinks of bad faith provocation to me.

Funny way to spell ideology.

Fair point. He certainly is not off the hook if he doesn't do it.

Credit where it is due. He did make the change, and it was a quick turn around by the usual standards. We are still waiting on PACE papers to be corrected/withdrawn 8 years later. Much as it might stick in our craws, we should be fairly generous and forgiving to the first few journal editors to...

Herd immunity is the real aim of vaccination. Protecting the vaccinated individual is a nice benefit, but not the main aim. Also to protect very young children who are not old enough to be fully vaccinated.

No such thing as a treatment that is both effective and truly benign (i.e. completely risk free). If a treatment has the power to do good, it also has the power to do harm.

A terrible affliction. :nailbiting: 'What happened to you?' 'I got MUSified.'

@Sid, love that avatar. :thumbup: Inability to predict which patients will respond to treatment is a massive warning flag in my book.

Collins is not the NIH. I think people are making the mistake that just because he is its director that he can simply order stuff to be done. But I don't think it works that way. He is more coordinator than dictator. If the internal institutional resistance is too great then his hands are...

You are being unfair on Collins. He is not God. He told us clearly what needed to be done to get the money flowing, and that was to get support from congress. I don't like having to do it this way, or the slow pace of it all, any more than you. But if that is how it is done in the US, then so...

This. We need to get as much as possible about this brutal farce and the objections to it onto the formal record, so nobody can say they were not warned.

One might almost say he is ruthless in his defence of his precious ideas. Yeah, I noticed that too. By the company they keep shall ye know them. The last thing they want is competent honest researchers looking too closely at what they are doing.

First rule of the Perfectionist Club is to not talk of imperfections. Egad! He's gone over to the dark side. :nailbiting:

I look forward to the day when having that on a CV is regarded as a major red flag to prospective employers.
