Nothing like glaring racism on top of greed, eugenics, and ignorance. Even the worm in his brain is throwing up.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

There was a time, not so long ago, when Republican George W. Bush appointed a Muslim doctor and outstanding scientist Elias Zerhouni, born and raised in Algeria, as Director of the National Institutes of Health (nominated 6 months after 9/11).

(Reuters) - The order to limit a satellite system used by Ukraine for battlefield communications and drone operations came from inside the White House, according to two US officials and a Western official briefed on the matter. @reuters.com 🇺🇦 www.reuters.com/world/europe...
Given that IBM and Meta — which got it brand from a failed attempt it acquired — gave up on this years ago was also a clue.
Can the LLM-based AI agents that are supposed to be able to help with scientific research distinguish real work from pseudoscience, from fraud, or from long-discredited retracted starting papers? Take a guess.

Holy shit FOUR members of the ethics committee in Denmark that gave the green light to allow the widely-condemned RFK Jr-funded trial to proceed in Guinea-Bissau have now resigned in protest This quote is 🔥 Great reporting by @melodyschreiber.com www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
RFK Jr is funding a grotesquely unethical study on newborn babies in Guinea-Bissau; ethicists, pediatricians, clinical trial experts, & infectious disease experts are calling this horrific trial The New Tuskegee. It is unethical to withhold a life saving intervention from half of newborns FFS.
When the incentives are attention and “number go up,” and authors pay publishers, “more” becomes a shared goal. And that’s not good for science. www.simonandschuster.com/books/How-th...
Resurfacing this today because we need to remember more about how many people have been complicit, including the EIC of @jaccjournals.bsky.social www.the-geyser.com/medrxiv-made...
