Books I have edited that may be of interest to those who study cancer. They are all available on Amazon.

Over two years of attacks, false accusations of fraud and misconduct led to reputation and career damage without justice. Sad to live through this experience after pursuing scientific truth, discoveries, government service, and helping patients with cancer. Definitely not what I expected when I chose the career of a physician-scientist 4 decades ago.

Here is a good example of being actively targeted in the last two weeks by @PubPeer for a paper my lab published in 1998. The concern was just raised in 2024 but then PubPeer took down the link. This is not appropriate and also the journal @oncogenejournal is giving a deadline of 2 weeks to respond. There is no "Peer" in "PubPeer" and the selective targeting of scientists for what maybe a political agenda some of which is public raises concerns. PubPeer insinuates things that are damaging the reputation of scientists such as fraud, misconduct, data manipulation, lack of integrity and they do it publicly and anonymously. They go further by piling on concerns with no attention to whether the concerns have merit, whether they have any impact on results, whether the concerns are legitimate. They are doing this in an anonymous way seemingly with no accountability for the damage they are causing. They are targeting who they wish to target. There is no statute of limitations apparently. Any response that questions their authority or motives is met with "why don't you just respond to concerns" or "your response raises red flags." They do not take into account the passage of time, the movement of labs to different institutions, the movement of researchers including out of science altogether, or the need for time, effort, and money to properly address any concerns. Journals and publishers have not weighed in on statute of limitations, changes in how the field views data in 2024 vs 1998, or the process by which PubPeer conducts itself. What PubPeer is doing, in my opinion, defines academic terrorism, blackmail, defamation, and lack of due process and this is done by an anonymous mob that is unregulated. @Nature @MicrobiomDigest @oracknows @NIH @NIHDirector @theNCI @P_J_Buckhaults @DrJBhattacharya @HHS_ORI @theNAMedicine @ScienceMagazine

Here's the current situation in VAERS for domestic data when querying "Aortic dissection". Not ONE report prior to 2020. And then... these are normalized rates per 100,000 annual reports. @Fynnderella1 @OpenVAERS @drdrew @delbigtree @brownstoneinst @Honest_Medicine @SenRonJohnson

After reviewing cause of death data from the untimely death of @LindseyGrahamSC we reviewed VAERS data for aortic dissection, as a few of us predicted endothelial destruction, especially in cardiac vessels. There is only 1 single record of Aortic Dissection precovid in 2009. Thanks for the dataset and graphs @OpenVAERS ❤️

El-Deiry interview 7-9-26 with Real America's Voice (RAV) correspondent Ben Bergquam on July 9, 2026 at the Union League of Philadelphia. TOP CANCER RESEARCHER CALLS FOR COVID VACCINE TRANSPARENCY They discussed Dr. El-Deiry's testimony before the US Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations June 3, 2026 hearing titled "Plausible Mechanisms of COVID-19 Injections Causing Cancer and Attacks on Scientific Publications and Research." The July 9, 2026 interview titled "TOP CANCER RESEARCHER CALLS FOR COVID VACCINE TRANSPARENCY" features Dr. Wafik El-Deiry who says Americans still don't have true informed consent for COVID mRNA vaccines, urging transparency, accountability, and open scientific debate instead of silencing questions. youtu.be/AXcQA6Fx_M8

@RealAmVoice @BenBergquam @weldeiry At least there are some honest scientists left willing to tell the truth about this dangerous gene therapy technology masquerading as “vaccines”. Thank you Dr. El-Deiry!

Buying used books at an annual book sale in Barrington, RI is one of my favorite activities, even if someone comments on my Eagles T-shirt. I love all kinds of history including the local, science, travel and non-fiction. Will be back for more.

A Stanford researcher named Fei-Fei Li once hired 49,000 strangers from 167 countries to look at pictures and answer one simple question, and their answers became the foundation modern AI is built on today. Back in 2006, Li was a freshly minted PhD from Caltech starting her first job as an assistant professor. Everyone around her was chasing the same idea, that the path to smarter AI ran through smarter algorithms. Better math. Cleverer code. She looked at the field and decided they had the problem backwards. A psychologist had once estimated that the average person can recognize about 30,000 different kinds of objects on sight. A dog. A very specific species of fern. Li's question was simple and almost embarrassing in hindsight. If a computer was ever going to see the world the way a person does, shouldn't it first be shown what the world actually looks like, at real scale, in all its variety? Nobody was building that. So she decided to build it herself. She moved to Princeton and pulled in a lexical database built by linguists there called WordNet, roughly 22,000 categories of nouns organized by meaning. That became the skeleton. Then came the impossible part. She needed millions of real photographs sorted correctly into every one of those categories, and there was no way she or her small team could label them all by hand. Working nonstop, one image a minute, with no sleep and no food, it would have taken one person almost 23 years. So she turned to Amazon Mechanical Turk, a website where you can pay strangers online to do small tasks for a few cents each. Over the next three years, those 49,000 workers in 167 countries looked at photograph after photograph and answered the same simple question, over and over. Does this picture show a dog. Does this picture show a fire truck. Each image got checked by multiple workers before it counted. By the time they were done, they had sorted more than 14 million images into over 20,000 categories. They called it ImageNet. When she finally brought it to the biggest computer vision conference in the world in 2009, the field shrugged. A hundred times bigger than any dataset that existed, and almost nobody cared. They didn't even give her a stage. They gave her a folding table in the corner of a convention center in Miami, wedged between a few posters nobody was reading. So Li did something clever. Instead of just publishing the data and hoping someone noticed, she turned it into a competition. Every year, teams would submit AI systems and see whose could recognize images most accurately against ImageNet. She built the incentive that the data alone could not create. For two years, nothing dramatic happened. Then in 2012, a team out of Toronto entered a neural network called AlexNet, trained on two ordinary gaming graphics cards. Every serious entry before it had an error rate hovering around 26 percent. AlexNet came in at 15.3 percent. An 11 point jump in a single year, inside a competition that used to inch forward by fractions of a point. That one result is the actual starting gun for the AI you use today. Not a lab announcement. Not a keynote. Just 49,000 strangers on the internet answering questions about photographs, three years before anyone realized what they had built.
