A Blueprint for NIH Reform
Both scientists and the public are frustrated with the scientific enterprise. Change is needed, and this Perspective presents a blueprint for NIH reforms with the dual goal of ensuring scientific integrity and innovation.

If Man’s “conquest” of Nature is a one-way ticket to tyranny and finally annihilation, then perhaps what we need is more deference to the Civil, the Human, the Spiritual, and the Supernatural.

Reality has been shattered into billions of pieces, each one perfectly tailored to fit someone’s worldview. The same event triggers different movies in our heads. The same evidence proves opposite truths. We’re not just disagreeing—we’re living in different universes.
Sticking with tradition, health authorities, experts, and media are playing the ‘cases, cases, cases’ angle, as the latest variant “sweeps the nation” with what I calculate to be Australia’s twelfth Covid wave since the pandemic scare series kicked off.
New Covid Wave Scare Campaign: A Massive Flop Read Journal Article
Bad modeling, bad data, and bad science had once again conspired against freedom and peace, the ideals that Trump had come to office to protect. Thus did he flip and go the other way fast: no more attacks on life.
While not nearly complete, the efforts and successes of the Kennedy-Trump alliance are real and significant. The recent confusion, mixed messages, and bloviations of Bernie and Bill are evidence that we are moving in the right direction.
If Washington does nothing except leave current tax, spending, and structural deficit policies in place, the publicly-held debt will grow by $102 trillion over the next three decades, reaching 154% of what would be $85 trillion of GDP by 2054.
How did government vigilance against lethal attacks like 9/11 culminate in the claim that critics of public health measures were terrorists? The bulletin ignored the possibility that trust in our governing institutions had been undermined was the policies themselves.
Be the generalist. See the system. The truth depends on it. The future won’t be saved by the most credentialed. It’ll be saved by those who can see clearly—and refuse to look away.
How Specialization Enables Systemic Evil Read Journal Article
No matter how much information about the abuses of powerful forces during the pandemic, no matter how much is learned about the deviant behavior of leadership and government agencies, the unvaccinated have yet to be vindicated.
Our research team undertook a structured, step-by-step evaluation of the empirical foundations of the “millions saved” narrative. We critically examined the hypothetical statistical models that produced this extraordinary figure, as well as multiple randomized controlled trials and large-scale observational studies.
Did Covid Vaccines Really Save Millions? Read Journal Article
The Cochrane Collaboration publishes systematic reviews of healthcare interventions in the Cochrane Library. It was once a highly respected institution, but this has changed, and I shall tell a particularly grotesque story about Cochrane bureaucracy.
