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.

People who are suffering are searching for answers, and what they encounter from trusted voices matters a lot. If we want real answers for chronic illness, we need to invest in the science that can actually deliver. Everything else risks making things worse.

But that’s not enough. When you have a platform this large, you don’t get to disclaim responsibility while still shaping how people think. Also as a pk, I'd add James 3:1: “Not many of you should become teachers… because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.”

I just finished The Deep Places by @DouthatNYT and have some thoughts. First: I am deeply sympathetic to anyone suffering from a chronic illness without clear answers or effective treatments. That experience- the pain, uncertainty, and dismissal is real, and too common.

Socrates in 460 BC: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Marcus Aurelius in 150 CE: “You have power over your mind—not outside events.” Augustine of Hippo in 400 CE: “Do not go outside; return into yourself. In the inward man dwells the truth.” Marc Andreessen in 2026:

Billionaire Marc Andreessen says he has "zero" introspection, and that the idea itself is a modern invention.

We are now forced to close intake and not help anymore cats until we find homes for the adoptable cats in our care. We literally have no more space and I'm having to say no to cats who will die without us. all these kittens are still here. Please share. 📍 SF Bay Area
Friends of Bear Cat Rescue@feederofcats

🚨 SF BAY AREA it makes me very sad that we still have 8 perfect, healthy big kittens growing up mostly in an enclosure here at the rescue. They should be cuddling on someone's lap, zooming around, being happy babies. Soon they'll be a year old and still sitting here, waiting 💔

@JReinerMD To be fair, he is doing his best to make sure that the NIH could not be called that, anymore.

In the past, NIH Directors focused on running the world’s greatest biomedical research entity. Not anymore.
Jay Bhattacharya@DrJBhattacharya

Is it just me, or are all the @WHO high officials and scientists who pushed the world into lockdown in 2020 now swearing up and down that they never recommended lockdown? I, for one, have no confidence that they would not recommend the world lock down again, given the chance.

Even if hospitalization isn’t required, rotavirus was deeply unpleasant. (The vaccine wasn’t available for my first kid). Who wants to see their child suffer, needlessly, when you can prevent it?
Benjamin Mazer@BenMazer

I'm still saddened seeing doctors lie like this. The goal of the rotavirus vaccine is mostly to reduce hospitalizations, but no mention of that (the death numbers are wrong too). He's also lying that the current vaccine was pulled off the market - that was a different vaccine.

@xriskology Imagine having the power to transform lives for the better, make a lasting difference that people will remember for centuries, and instead not only refrain from doing that, but directly cause an incomprehensible amount of misery and death. hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-shu…

Boxing is such an authentic, noble sport—Ernest Hemingway referred to it as the purest metaphor for life itself. I hope Elon Musk’s friends are encouraging him to take such a grand step— with all my heart, I believe he belongs in the ring. 🥊🥊🥊

Who Is: Vinay Prasad A thread about how the FDA’s head of biologics became its biggest internal threat. Vinay Prasad, director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, is known not for effective leadership, but for quietly dismantling the scientific systems he was chosen to protect.
