Heartbroken. An enormous loss for her family and friends, and for the global science and public health community.
Thank you @HelenBranswell for your extraordinary reporting, rigor, humanity and commitment to helping the world understand complex issues. 1/2

Lees hier de reconstructie: hoe VWS overheidsinformatie inzette voor het eigen “narratief”, maar pers en publiek ondertussen achterbleven

Erik Gerritsen, tijdens corona de hoogste ambtenaar bij VWS, haalt hard uit naar vrijwel alle organen die het coronabeleid onderzoeken: de Kamer en de OVV zouden bezig met "blame games". De Rekenkamer zou deel uitmaken van hetzelfde "systeem".

Grote verontwaardiging én bijval over de boetes die de IGJ uitdeelde aan media voor berichtgeving over GLP-1 agonisten. Ik dook er diep in voor Villamedia. Wat speelt hier nu precies en hoe nu verder? villamedia.nl/artikel/onrede…

Time and time again over the last decades sociology has been declared dead/insane/gone nuts by people with a more conservative standing (often declaring themselves as neutral/moderate/apolitical.

In other words, so called "sex-specific" effects in the brain and behavior are not what they claim, most of the time. Here's an explainer from the Maney lab: maneylab.org/sex-specific-ef…
Claims of sex-dependent effects in the behavioral and brain sciences are infrequently supported by valid statistical comparisons | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.26…

Under Biden, FBI, CIA, Dept Energy leaned towards lab origin of covid. People are skeptical of US intel agencies. Ok.
Germany's foreign intel service assessed a lab origin with 80-95% certainty.
We should ask for at least a redacted assessment so we can put this issue to rest.
Thank God power is not just about force and intimidation.
This piece teaches you how to apply that insight

Nine years ago @Zvezzdana and I published the most important piece of our career: an investigation that started with our first son's stillbirth.
Last year, we again delved into birth care - this time fertility care. For @AAASKavli we reflected on this: sjawards.aaas.org/news/aaas-…

Journalist @Jopdevrieze van @DeGroene heeft een vervolg geschreven over covid vaccinatieschade getroffenen in Nederland. In 2022 werd ik benaderd door hem, maar ik haakte af, dit keer ben ik wel met hem in zee gegaan. Dankje Jop, dat je mijn platform The Long Shot hebt genoemd 🙏
