RFK Jr quoted Abramson to start his book “The real Anthony Fauci”. I thought he was a real deal with integrity. This is difficult to swallow.
In a lump, call it, maybe, shameless chutzpah, a la the NIH-webbed, monolithic mind-and-voice rulemaking: Either toe the line, at least e$$entially, or else -- ie, lose: needed funding, the ability to be published, faculty-appointment, medical-practice licensure/specialty certification, or any mix of these.
' Seems our forked-tongued, trailblazing scout/professor is recognizing a new true north -- via his dopey duplicity, and a natural, below-the-feet feel for a shift in the world's magnetic poles, as it were, if not their complete reversal. If so, welcome the personification of fully actualized academic medicine, brought to you by one and all of the stakeholder-pioneers of the New World Order.
Maybe our scout-inspirer is really seeking more power down the road, perhaps an appointment as a local chief of sorts in the now-materializing, new and solitary regime, no?
Is Dr Abramson on the path, say, to Making the World Safe, maybe More Palatable, for BigPharmaRule? If so, what a pathetic solo-agency he is.
