#Trump is using OUR US Gov to go after his personal enemies. It's just #revenge and a huge waste of our tax dollars. He's prosecuting Jim Comey for the 3rd time! and Courts just ruled Trump firing of Comey's daughter was illegal #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #Trump #TrumpOut #comey

COVID only kills 1-2% of people but that's A LOT of people. In US, it would be about 3-5 million dead. COVID shut down the world for a year! hospitals and morgues overflowed. Remdesivir isn't a miracle drug and people usually showed up when it was too late to save them.

Every time we review a grant application, we mark if it could be 'dual use', i.e. that it might be dangerous. If US Gov and NIH want to know the answer, they usually require special biosafety actions. Sometimes the results are never published so the bad guys don't get info.

It's very difficult. First of all, when we move genes around, we don't know what the effect will be, right? we're trying to study what the gene does. Large committees at each university control what is allowed, and there's another layer of scrutiny at federal funding level.

American tax payers paid for the COVID vaccines. President, US National Institutes of Health, Congress all approved/paid for it. CDC, NIH, FDA are all tax payer supported to protect Americans. Trump, Biden, Harris are all vaccinated to protect themselves fda.gov/news-events/press-an…

Cancer rates in the US have NOT gone up. They have gone down since 2020. The link shows the official US Gov cancer incidence under Trump and RFK (not made up fake data like these Twitter X posts). They tabulate each year seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/ht…

1) Anyone can submit VAERS 2) the US Gov keeps records of all health events every year, so we can see if something goes up. The Gov very quickly found when the J & J adenovirus vaccine caused clots in women and pulled it from the market quickly. the surveillance works well

If COVID vaccines caused all those health problems, they would not be recommended, but COVID vaccines are recommended TODAY by the US Gov (Trump & RFK) and Medical organizations. US recommend #COVID_19 vaccinations (3 companies, only 2 of them are RNA) cdc.gov/covid/hcp/vaccine-co…

Only way you can see if a vaccine helps or causes damage is to do controlled studies where you compare treated and untreated groups to each other. Every time this has been done, #COVIDー19 vaccines are shown safe & effective. That’s why the COVID vaccines are recommended TODAY

Unfortunately many docs are making those conclusions on individual bases. They don't seem to understand the need for statistics. They aren't trained in research. It's the logic error post hoc ergo propter hoc . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_h…

Please note the way the quote has been interrupted removing the intervening words where the ... is. As it is written here, it doesn't even make sense. Please think about it or find the full text. Fauci never said causing a pandemic was worth it.

Do you believe the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by scientists? or Black plague? Smallpox? Polio? Cholera? HIVAids? Diseases have attacked humans and caused pandemics FOREVER, but you blame scientists this time! Scientists work to PROTECT us #CovidInquiry en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o…

Different countries used different vaccines and many companies worked to rapidly develop anti covid vaccines. You think this was world wide conspiracy?? I don't find that plausible

Think about it. How many things do Russia, China, EU, US agree on? They ALL vaccinated their citizens against COVID. Here are the current US COVID vaccine recommendations for approved COVID vaccines (3 companies, only 2 are RNA) #CovidInquiry #COVID_19 cdc.gov/covid/hcp/vaccine-co…

Operation Warp Speed was initiated by Trump to make the mRNA COVID vaccines to protect Americans and save lives. It’s a public/private partnership between Gov and pharma companies to protect us all from COVID. Vaccines save lives #CovidInquiry #COVID_19 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operat…

sometimes people thought the person died because of a car wreck or other accident, but when they did the autopsy they found the accident was caused by COVID clots in heart or brain, so it was a COVID death. Docs are required by law to identify the real cause of death

Hospitals got extra money for COVID patients because all the expensive infection precautions& because COVID patients were often hospitalized for a long time-even months! Hospitals needed that money to pay staff& buy supplies. I work in the med school, our docs were working 24/7
