Podcast: RFK Won’t Go Away
The Blue Tsunami heralds political change, but misinformation has taken root
While we were astounded to see the size of the Blue Wave that swept US politics last week, and realized it represents a backlash against the litany of problems unleashed over the past two years, we also have to be realistic — these problems are not going to be solved by removing a few bad actors.
And efforts by noble, well-informed healthcare workers will remain necessary.
RFK, Jr., is quite rightly being examined for impeachment, but the end of his tenure is something he’s very likely looking forward to, as this is when he can bring lawsuits, write books, and spew misinformation without guardrails. And he’s only part of the problem that US science faces, as Jay Bhattacharya, a gutted CDC and NIH and NSF, and more lie in abeyance.
Add to that the way scientific publishing has become the softest target ever thanks to high-volume OA and mindless AI systems, and the era of bad science may only be beginning.
We discuss this, the launch of Ad Fontes Science in Charleston last week, and why the time is now to break with the linear past RFK, OA, AI, and more represent.
We also share our “Discoveries of the Week.”
