Sigh…that morning sometime in the last 5 years when you wake-up and realize, without a doubt, that most of the “grown-ups,” “experts,” and leaders are some combination of idiotic, lazy, or corrupted; and worse, that the system filters for these traits, and not for capable fiduciaries.

The solution to Dr. Perencevich as a biased editor for JAMA open network is don’t submit papers to them. That might get their attention. Thanks for the info.

Recently emailed a nejm editor who teaches at university if Michigan about a comment he made to ap in 2021 when they asked him to refute a Canadian dr’s concerns about mRNA vaccines affecting women’s ovarian function. Basically responded that there were no concerns to be had. I asked him if he regretted his stance and asked if a more prudent and honest answer would not have been better. Crickets. I am not a medical professional, only a concerned mother and grandmother. I am not entitled to a reply and didn’t expect one. I will say that although I have little respect for Stanley plotkin, when I emailed him a question several years ago I heard back the next day. Also true of another researcher I contacted about a rapid response he had written. Always worth a try

JAMA is another compromised organization whose credibility is falling towards zero like all the rest of these leftist/anti-human infected rags. Trust it at your own risk.

So your reply is to dehumanize people for their political beliefs? Not cool.

Horrifically depressing.

What was the subject matter of this person’s study?

Do we get 3 guesses?

So many doctors, researchers had quality studies denied publishing during the Covid era as they went against the Covid “science” lockstep. It has been quite unnerving and discouraging to read about.

Perhaps this has been going on for decades. Think Vitamin D info suppression.

How much lower do things have to go before we can get back to real science?

Not looking good. The boot of Big Pharma is coming down even harder now. With more money and unchecked power to crush all who they fear will get in the way of their absolute control.

Our health be damned.

How much worse do things need to be before we step up and create honest humane alternatives? That’s the question we should be asking ourselves.

I never acquired Covid but I started injecting ivermectin up my butthole in December 2019…I’ve grown to really enjoy it!

And now an uptick in bird flu reports (pharma funded?) right about the time our current CIC gets Covid? A lot of convenience in disease, eh?

Yes, as long as the public buys into the infectious disease scamdemics, we will continue to see an endless string of pathogens. I am halfway through a new book titled "Covid 19---Decoding Official Data" written by Pierre Chaillot, a French statistician. He patiently dissects and refutes each and every lie put out by the public health establishment and the pharmacology industry. Highly recommended.

Great article, Vinay! Thanks again! Apparently Biden is on Paxlovid for his bout of COVID, according to an article I read this AM. I know you’ve spoken about this failed drug many times. What’s wrong with these people? Do they not read the studies? I’m at a loss and shaking my head again.

Would that have done any good? I think Vinay has talked about their lack of efficacy.

Which would be interesting in an of itself considering that there's also now studies linking the mRNA 'vaccines' with neurological damage and cognitive decline.

Lets not forget the lack of bothering to aspirate anymore..Gee..those vaccines must be safe/sarcasm if they dont care if a small % gets into the circulatory system..

It's interesting that he's claiming that the young were driving infections. In Iceland, they did extensive tracing and found that transmission was primarily old to young. Their schools were open, but they had "pods" to keep kids separated in their own clusters. That said, the college students *were* partying like nothing was happening, and they don't tend to have the best health habits.

My OUCH moment was when my mom (who is not in California) told me that her 70+yo friend had caught Covid. And where did he catch it? Out bowling with his friends. Being in California, my kids were still remote schooling to "flatten the curve" and "protect grandma" and we were being careful to keep our contacts low. So my kids were remote schooling so that Grandma's friends could go bowling. SMH.

And awhile ago. A lot of peer reviewed, beautiful JAMA papers on Ivermectin were retracted in 2019 without explanations. Prior to this, retractions were very, very rare. We all know the reasons now. Media was ALL compromised, including medical journals.

Good dr.s knew this, the others just fell in line.

Some of his remarks were worded childishly. I could see him gathering up his pail and shovel and going home. As an editor-in-chief his duty is to give folks either verbally or through critiquing proposed papers a midline, non-biased, thoughtful, (grownup)response based on what he has learned through research or personal validation. (I'd spank him and send him to bed without dinner.). Better yet, I'd openly challenge him on his work and statements since his appointment as JAMA editor-in-chief.

Good question. I served in the Humanities, sometimes intimidated by the idea that we're not doing real science like the folks in the natural sciences. Until the start of covid when I became aware of the court cases etc about corrupt practices in the medical journals. Brought to you by Pfizer.
